ASBESTOS MEDITEXT ® - Medical Management Page 2 of 2
(Mossman & Gee, 1989). 2. Similar to other patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, treatment is aimed at supportive efforts and may include the following: vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia and influenza, bronchodilator administration, adequate nutrition, home oxygen therapy, and rebreathing and exercise training. Pharmacological agents to limit the progression of fibrosis as yet have not been beneficial (Wagner, 1997). 3. MESOTHELIOMA - Neither surgery, chemotherapy, nor radiotherapy have been successful in producing remission of mesothelioma (Newhouse, 1983). Multimodal therapy has been employed to prolong disease-free intervals (Talcott & Antman, 1988). 4. PLEURAL PLAQUES - Plaques by themselves have little effect on pulmonary function and life expectancy, and do not produce complications that necessitate treatment (Dark & Pingleton, 1983; Jones et al, 1988). 5. PLEURAL EFFUSION - No therapy is necessary for this complication; however, close monitoring is mandatory to rule out mesothelioma and other possible causes (Dark & Pingleton, 1983).
