Treating Mesothelioma with Alimta

Alimta works by targeting the three enzymes that create mesothelioma cancer cells and encourage tumors to grow. Alimta has been found to block mesothelioma cancer cell growth, and some patients even had tumors shrink in size. To minimize side effects, doctors give vitamin B-12 and folic acid along with the drugs. For information about receiving Alimta, call 1-866-347-9503.
