Biphasic Mesothelioma

Biphasic mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs or abdomen and contains two main cell types: epithelioid and sarcomatoid. "Biphasic" means it has both these features, which can influence how aggressive the cancer is and how it responds to treatment. This form of mesothelioma develops after exposure to asbestos and often requires careful diagnosis and a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Understanding its dual nature helps doctors tailor therapies to improve outcomes for patients.
