Mesothelioma is a cancer severe, with survival rates low, despite the many new treatment options that have contributed to the increase in life expectancy. Statistics show that the average time of survival after diagnosis is about one year. The period may be extended up to two years if the treatment will be made aggressive. It 'been shown that over 95% of cases, mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos.
Most people were previously aware of the danger caused byMesothelioma from asbestos occurs after about 20 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos. Due to this reason, this illness as a disease was also an "old man", as people in 60 or 70 is usually called out sick. Helping patients to undergo higher forecasts better treatment and better in life expectancy.
Epithelium is a tissue that separates the various areas of the body. As with the epithelial cells of the skin that does not resolve --The body inside the body. This provides functions such as protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion or impaired sensory perception.
Causes and symptoms:
The most common cause of epithelioid mesothelioma, asbestos, in which fine particles can be found and thrown into the air or by sawing or cutting. Epithelioid Mesothelioma in the lining of the chest cavity, lungs, heart and abdomen is hit. InIn epithelioid mesothelioma, the survival time of patients is eight and a half months.
The speed with which people with more than 50% to 70% of all cancer cells so that the most common form. They identified based on the unique facilities and cellular organization, the tube model with a particular cell nucleus. There is usually an error in diagnosis of disease, such as cells of other types of cancer are very similar to an epithelioid adenocarcinomaType of cancer that is often confused with epithelioid mesothelioma.
Characterized by a papillary or tubular growth is the most common subtype mestothelioma, there are many abnormal histological variants, which were also found, which deciduoid and adenomatoid tumors of the small sample size or from cells or mucin-positive cells, with l ' exception of mesothelioma are lepidic intrapulmonary growth.
Symptoms
Symptoms may occur after more than 40-50Year of exposure to asbestos. And 'the best time for a joint attack of asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia confused because of chest pain and dyspnea. Patients may cough, weakness, fatigue have combined with the inability to absorb nutrition leads to weight loss. The most common is called the accumulation of fluid in the pleural space pleural effusion.The trouble occurs when the tumor can not expand the lungs and, if it spreads further, the results insevere chest pain.
Diagnosis
An accurate diagnosis is necessary before any type of treatment for mesothelioma. Because the latency period is the appearance of symptoms of this disease is the beginning of a difficult task. Is usually only at an advanced stage, so the survival rate of about 8 to 9 months.
To determine whether a person for various diagnostic tests such as radiography, MRI, CT, transbronchial biopsy in an area wherepasses through the trachea to the bronchi area of the lung, thoracotomy, where the chest open and monitored between the ribs of each tumor, thoracoscopy, where a camera is used to move between the ribs or centesis control of the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium removed fluid.
