Diagnosis of Mesothelioma 
Mesothelioma has an unusually long latency period, which means that patients may not be diagnosed with the disease for as long as 5 decades after they were last exposed to asbestos. After careful evaluation, a variety of tests are necessary to correctly diagnose mesothelioma. Some of these clinical and radiological tests include a complete physical examination, including the patient’s medical history and history of asbestos exposure, x-rays, lung function tests, CT scan, MRI, and sometimes a tissue or fluid biopsy.

The Stages of Mesothelioma
In terms of cancer, staging is a prognostic tool used to determine how far a particular cancer has spread, which can aid doctors in determining life expectancy and treatment plans.  Mesothelioma cancer doctors have established a number of different staging systems for pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common form of this rare disease.  
There is currently no formal staging system for the other forms of mesothelioma.
