Epithelial mesothelioma is a rare disease caused by asbestos, the decade may have occurred before the patient is diagnosed. It is not contagious and can not be passed from one person to another. Unlike lung cancer, there is no correlation between epithelial mesothelioma and smoking. Still the Kent brand of cigarettes used asbestos in its filters to conduct the first years of production in 1950 and in some cases of epithelial mesotheliomathis.
Epithelial Mesothelioma occurs more frequently in men than in women, and three-quarters of mesothelioma patients are older than 65 years. Most people who develop the disease, have worked on jobs where asbestos particles, inhaled or been exposed to asbestos dust and fibers in other ways. A study of asbestos insulation workers' reports of deaths from mesothelioma up to 344 times higher than the general population. Although the disease is notis contagious, it was found that family members of workers to asbestos at higher risk) of mesothelioma and other diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung disease and other cancers, such as the larynx and kidney. This increase in the risk of taking a risk of exposure to the worker's clothes and his hair is caused.
Although reported incidence rates have increased over the past 20 years, epithelial mesothelioma still a relatively rare cancer. The incidence of epithelial malignant mesothelioma currently ranges from 7 to 40 per 1,000,000 in industrialized Western countries, depending on the level of asbestos exposure of the population in recent decades. More than 500,000 cases of asbestos or mesothelioma have been brought against asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety, according to the connection between asbestos, asbestosis, and> The mesothelioma became known.
Although epithelial mesothelioma is usually in a treatment with radiation therapy alone is often used to comfort people with cancer or to relieve symptoms of tumor growth, such as obstruction of major vessels too. Radiotherapy alone has never shown that improving the survival of epithelial mesothelioma. In fact, the required dose for treatment of mesothelioma, which hassurgically removed, there would be very toxic.
