There are three main subtypes of mesothelioma: sarcomatous, epithelioid and biphasic. The last two are the most common ones, representing 75-95% of the mesothelioma cases, while sarcomatous type has not been studied very much. Also, in most of the cases, mesotheliomas are characterized by high levels of cytokeratin 5 no matter the subtype.
Other subtypes of mesothelioma:
glandular, clear cell, lymphohistiocytic, desmoplastic, adenomatoid, deciduoid, mucohyaline.
We wanted a resource where people who are looking for better help can find it, because one of the issues that I have found is that the diagnosis takes a little bit, some people don’t know if they are diagnosed or not. This is something that it is important enough, that is why I wanted to put the information together.
