A physical or occupational therapist will direct your rehabilitation.

Treatment will depend on the stage of the disease. If it is localized, surgery is the normal procedure. The oncologist will remove the affected part of the chest lining and surrounding tissue. If the pleura is affected, it may necessitate a pneumonectony, or removal of a lung, as well as part of the diaphragm. Radiation therapy is another option. This procedure uses targeted ionizing radiation (similar to that present in nuclear reactors) to destroy malignant cells.

It depends on the scars. Sometimes dermabrasion by itself is not enough. Preparatory surgery such as scar excision or fillers such as fat injections prior to dermabrasion may be needed to achieve an optimal result. Excision of multiple deep pitted acne scars may be performed over several sessions. Acne scars must be evaluated on an individual basis.
