mesothelioma
Most malignant mesothelioma is asbestos worked for a long time in the environment, Call or life asbestos exposure to asbestos in the family environment of the project. In rare cases, even exposure to asbestos month may also lead to mesothelioma. National Association of mesothelioma cancer is defined as : Mesothelioma is a rare find in the mesothelial cells of malignant cancer. Most of the patients suffering from mesothelioma due to asbestos floating work environment, and inhalation of asbestos particles. Mesothelioma frequent lung or abdominal membrane. Although the disease usually takes several decades of asbestos in the contact form, but once there mesothelioma. It will spread very quickly and deteriorate. Because mesothelioma and other symptoms of the disease is less like the disease with the onset of the long time interval, Mesothelioma patients generally have to wait until after disease onset symptoms can be felt. What is mesothelioma? Pleural mesothelioma is pleural primary tumor, - limited (mostly benign) and diffuse (all malignant) hours. Diffuse malignant mesothelioma is the worst prognosis chest tumors. The early symptoms of chest pain, cough and shortness of breath as the most common. Have a fever, sweating or joint pain complained symptoms. About half of a large number of patients with pleural effusion severe shortness of breath. No large pleural effusion were often more severe chest pain, weight loss common. Ordinary X-ray revealed pleural effusion, pulmonary tumor tissue was wrapped. Advanced cases of pericardial effusion can be caused by expansion of cardiac and soft tissue and bone damage. Suspicious of malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, CT is most useful. Cytological examination of pleural fluid also contribute to the diagnosis. Conventional laboratory examination, some patients may have increased platelet serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), such as increased. For wellness checks can clear diagnosis can be done thoracoscopic pleural biopsy. Most patients can generally it was diagnosed. Malignant pleural mesothelioma treatment is still no effective curative treatment. Treatment methods, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. General view of a relatively limited tumor stage I patients, advocated doing cure pleural pneumonectomy. For II, III, IV phase patients, radical surgery is pointless. only palliative surgery morbidity in the majority of patients between the ages of 40-70, men more than women. Mesothelioma causes mesothelioma patients is the main cause of a pair of asbestos exposure. Approximately 70-80% of patients with the diagnosis of mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos in their work history. However, there are some mesothelioma patients with no asbestos exposure records. Asbestos fibers can greatly to be scattered into the air and minerals. Asbestos was widely used in many industrial products, including cement, gates lining, roof shingle, textiles and insulation materials. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air, especially during the manufacturing process. They will be inhaled and cause serious health problems. In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos lung cancer, asbestos PCS (noncancerous. chronic pulmonary disease) risk, and other cancers, such as hoses and kidney cancer. Smoking and asbestos mix with the air greatly increases the risk of diseases channel. Mesothelioma asbestos exposure manufacturers as early as 70 years ago had contact with asbestos understanding may lead to the risk of mesothelioma cancer, But they will this information as a commercial secret strict control up. First exposed to asbestos on the reports in the mid-1960s. Even today, asbestos manufacturers also as a long hidden the fact that the asbestos risk. Prolonged exposure to asbestos in the environment caused by inhaling asbestos mesothelioma risks increase dramatically, However, recent research found that even very short-term exposure to asbestos can lead to the disease. Typically, mesothelioma need 20 to 40 years before showing symptoms. Often, people in the age between 50 to 70 were diagnosed with this disease. Although the reported rate in the past 20 years has increased, mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer. Every year in the United States there are about 2,000 new mesothelioma was diagnosed cases.
