Mesothelioma, which begins in the pleural or
Peritoneum, the membrane that lines the chest
and covers the lungs.

Approximately 2,000 cases of mesothelioma were observed
annually in the United States. This is still a rare disease
taken into account, although the reported incidents
escalated in the last two decades. He noted
and has been proven that heavy and long exposure to asbestos is
the main cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos is a group of
minerals in strong, flexible and fibrous form. it is
used in industrial products such as cement, brake
coverings, textiles, electrical insulation, flooring
products, chemical filters, fireproofing materials and
to others. This explains why most Mesothelioma patients
work on construction sites, shipyards and
manufacturing companies, said industrial products.
Small asbestos particles float in the air and
or inhaled or swallowed by workers or persons
in the vicinity. In addition to mesothelioma and
people can acquire asbestosis, a chronic non-cancerous
lung disease and other forms of lung cancer,
cancer of the larynx and kidney.

Asbestos related to Mesothelioma are only 70 to 80
percent of all reported cases of the above
cancer. There are reported Mesothelioma cases in which
patients had no known exposure
of asbestos. Some were only exposed for a short
time, but still develop cancer 20-50
years after exposure, as in the case
Mesothelioma cancer patient who only washed clothes
who were exposed to asbestos. Also, asbestos
fibers that are stuck in their hair or
a factory worker can also risk the health of others whom
living s. It is therefore important for workers
exposed to asbestos to change their clothes and take
shower before leaving the workplace to prevent his
family members or friends from the inhalation of asbestos
particles and thus, from acquiring Mesothelioma.

mesothelioma cancer is slowly forming. That is why a
developing cancer many years after exposure
of asbestos. Some develop the cancer fifty years after
exposure, which makes it difficult to determine whether
the person has Mesothelioma or not, especially when
the patient is not aware of exposure to asbestos.
Moreover, malignant Mesothelioma shows signs similar to
other diseases such as pneumonia. symptoms
Pleural mesothelioma is also seen in other diseases
include shortness of breath, persistent cough,
weight loss and chest pain. Peritoneal mesothelioma,
which affects the abdominal cavity, is shown
swelling and pain in the abdomen, weight loss, bowel
obstruction, anemia, blood clotting abnormalities and
a fever.

A complete physical examination is necessary to make sure
Mesothelioma is a cancer. This includes xrays of
part of the body where symptoms are felt or seen, CT
and MRI. To confirm Mesothelioma, a biopsy is also
performed in the surgeon or oncologist (a doctor who
specializes in the diagnosis and treatment
cancer). A sample of tissue removed surgeon
examined by a pathologist. Once confirmed, the doctor
Then find out extent of the cancer, which is
crucial for the treatment of mesothelioma. although
malignant, Mesothelioma when earlier diagnosed can
continue to be treated. Most mesothelioma patients undergo
surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
