Being diagnosed with an aggressive cancer like mesothelioma is never easy, particularly when patients find out they have a late-stage diagnosis. What makes mesothelioma especially insidious is its prolonged latency period, which often leads to this late-stage diagnosis. Unfortunately, mesothelioma’s latency period can leave patients with limited treatment options and questions about their futures.

Some factors that impact mesothelioma’s long latency period include the following:
