Another method is Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy. This involves use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy affects cancer cells only in treated area. The radiation may come from a machine or from putting materials that produce radiation through thin plastic tubes into area where cancer cells are found .

Anticancer drugs can be used to kill cancer cells throughout body. This is known as chemotherapy and involves administration of drugs by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV). Currently, doctors are also studying effectiveness of putting chemotherapy directly into chest or abdomen.

Because mesothelioma is very hard to control, U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) is sponsoring clinical trials that are designed to find new treatments and better ways to use current treatments

Stress management is also possible simply by owning a pet. People who have pets such as dogs or cats or even fish can simply watch their pet or even play with their pets, giving them a nice little break from regular stresses and strains of life. It has been shown that pets are actually better than spouses for relieving stress, as spouses have expectations of you. A pet, however, is going to love you no matter what and that is a nice thing to think about after a hard day of work. And petting a dog or cat has been shown to be very therapeutic. So, if you are stressed out all time, it may be time to get yourself a pet in order to have a friendly face waiting for you whenever you walk in door.

The final stress management technique here is probably most important. That is to get some sleep. Let's face it, nobody gets enough sleep any more. People are usually getting at least two hours less than they need every night, putting them into serious sleep debt. This debt is going to have to be paid up sometime, but sleeping in on weekends is not going to get it done. The adult body needs, on average, 8 hours of sleep every night, but most adults get about 6 hours. This does not do your body any good and it does not do your mind any good. In fact, it tends to weaken mind and make it more susceptible to stress, which is exactly what you want to avoid. So get to bed early and make sure that you are getting sleep you need every night.

Stress management is fairly easy once you get used to it. Unfortunately, most people do not create proper stress management habits, causing them to spiral into stress constantly. By allowing yourself breaks you need and by giving your mind stress relief it demands, you can relax, stay focused, and keep stress away.
