More than 3,000 people are diagnosed in the United States each year.
Once a person is diagnosed with mesothelioma are usually dead within two years.

people who are most likely to contract mesothelioma are usually workers who worked in factories, in mines, in manufacturing plants and were continuously in contact with asbestos or asbestos dust.

Mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, cough and painful recurring chest and abdomen. Sometimes the patient feels my hard stabbing pain in the chest or abdomen.
Mesothelioma Symptoms usually surface only 35-50 years after asbestos contact. However, if an individual displays symptoms of mesothelioma they should consult a doctor immediately.

mesothelioma is usually diagnosed by chest X-ray, complete blood count, biopsy, or thoracotomy.

There are several different treatment options for people suffering from mesothelioma.
The most common form of treatment is surgery, where doctors will try to remove as much cancer as possible.

Palliative surgery is used when the disease is more advanced stage.It is used to control symptoms or experiences where the accumulation of fluid in the lungs or lung tumor pressing against the wall.

The radiation used to kill cancer calls and shrink tumors, works by firing high-energy X-rays at the tumor.
Radiation therapy has few side effects such as vomiting, nausea and general fatigue.

Chemotherapy is another treatment for mesothelioma cancer. Chemotherapy does not show a good success rate when it comes to treating cancer mesothelioma, turnout was about 15 %.

It is important to come to term with his cancer, so will make your life more comfortable so you do not live in anger, fear or sadness.

There are many groups offering assistance to people living with mesothelioma cancer, ask your doctor first.

Types of Mesothelioma


Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer pluća.Glavni cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos fibers. There is a long gap, sometimes even up to 30 years, between exposure to asbestos and the onset of the disease. It is also very difficult to diagnose this disease because the symptoms are very similar to other benign diseases such as pneumonia.

Mesothelioma is a disease that affects the mesothelium, or lining, which forms a protective layer around the stomach, lungs, heart, and a few other parts tijela.Mesothelium cells divide rapidly during this illness. Also, these cells have a longer life and grow. This abnormal development of the mesothelium cells is caused due to exposure to asbestos fibers. People who worked in the asbestos industry or lived around asbestos industry and their families are more prone to get this disease. After sometime, it might even affect other parts of the body.

There are three main types of mesothelioma. This is called a pleural when it affects the lungs, peritoneal, when it affects the abdomen and pericardial when it affects the heart. About 75% of cases of pleural mesothelioma and 20% are peritoneal or pericardial. There are also some other rare types of mesothelioma that affect the remaining 5%. All these statistics refer only to the documented cases. There are thousands of cases that go unreported or undiagnosed worldwide.

pleural mesothelioma:

between different types of cancer, mesothelioma accounts for only a small percentage. However, among the various types of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma accounts for nearly three quarters of documented cases. In pleural mesothelioma, fluid gets built up between the chest and the mesothelium lining.

Symptoms:

The symptoms of this disease include panting, labored breathing, fever, weight loss, coughing up blood and breathing difficulties. Patients of pleural mesothelioma face acute chest pain. Since the symptoms of this disease are similar to pneumonia, it is often confused with this bolešću.Dijagnoza is also difficult. There is no known cure for pleural mesothelioma. There are two types of pleural mesothelioma - cancer and non-cancerous. When a carcinogen, it is called a malignant form, and when the non-cancerous, it is called a benign form.

latency period of mesothelioma is approximately 20-50 years. This makes it very difficult for many people associate the disease to asbestos exposure. It may have changed many jobs in that time and can not consider their illness as a professional type of disease.

pleural mesothelioma is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. These fibers enter the lungs through the nose or mouth and settle in the lungs. Then, they travel through tissue. Since they are light and invisible, they become easily airborne and inhaled. When asbestos fibers settle in the mesothelium lining mesothelium cells start showing abnormal behavior, and thus leads to mesothelioma. In this disease, tumors are formed in the lungs and the mesothelium, which can also spread to other parts of the body.

Since it is difficult to detect, they can have the most havoc in the time they were discovered. Basically, when the mesothelioma is detected, the patients were in the final stages of cancer with only a few months or years left. Sometimes, even that. Mesothelioma is a terrible killer disease. Proper testing and efforts must be undertaken by the medical fraternity detect the disease as soon as possible.

peritoneal mesothelioma

peritoneal mesothelioma is a very rare disease. About 10-20% of documented cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma. This type of mesothelioma affects the abdominal pain pacijenta.Mesothelium cells behave abnormally in this disease. This disease is caused by inhaling asbestos oral vlakana.Vlakna travel through the entire digestive tract and settle in any part of the digestive sustava.Mesothelium lining in this section starts dividing rapidly and the cells also have a longer lifespan. It causes tumors in the abdomen and it can also spread to other parts of the body. The main symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma have severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, fever, chest pain, weight loss and difficulty breaking. Loose motions or constipation, swollen abdomen and a piece of tissue in the abdomen are classic signs of peritoneal mesothelioma.Bolest is diagnosed in several ways using x-rays, scans, MRI, PET, laparoscopy, laparotomy, thoracotomy, and so dalje.Glavni risk factor for contracting this disease is exposure to asbestos fibers and asbestos dust. However, some of the following factors also increase the risk of the disease:

    family, which has a history of cancer, or hereditary risk factors. smoker seems to have a greater chance of developing over the non-smoker, who had the same level and amount of exposure to asbestos fibers. Zeolite is a mineral that has properties very similar to asbestos and it seems that it is as dangerous as asbestos. Thorium dioxide is used in X-rays also trigger factor for cancer.
Pericardial mesothelioma:

the most rare form of mesothelioma is pericardial mesothelioma, that affects the mesothelium lining of the heart. The main symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma are chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, palpitations, fatigue and cough. Like all other types of mesothelioma, there is no cure for this type također.Jedino what doctors can do is reduce the pain and discomfort of the symptoms and help patients have a comfortable and peaceful death.

pericardial lining of the heart is removed to reduce simptome.Srce is the weakest part of the body. This is covered more fragile lining called the pericardium. Because this disease is called a pericardial mesothelioma such influences perikarda.Najraniji symptoms include fatigue, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and cough. Because these signs are common to other heart problems, it is difficult to diagnose this disease. Slowly, my heart starts thickening of the mucous membranes and fluids begin to fill the heart. On May also spread to other organs in the body.

In the later stages of pericardial mesothelioma, the patient finds it very difficult to consume any food or tekućine.Pluća stop working gradually and obstruction of the bowel becomes more istaknuti.Srce condition worsens, a patient may affect the stroke or heart attack. Death becomes the solution and the salvation that mesothelioma patients crave za.Osobe probably get this disease are those who face constant exposure to risk factors such as

    shipyard workers Asbestos Industry "workers and miners. Zeolite Industry "workers and miners. site workers. fire fie materials manufacturers Cement Mixers Painters

Not only the above groups of people have a high probability of disease, but also their families run the risk of getting this bolesti.Radnici when they return home carrying asbestos dust and asbestos fibers in clothing and their families may be exposed to the disease. Workers should take the following measures:

    They should wear protective clothing for work. They should change his clothes and wash before you leave for home. an expert should be hired to discover whether there is asbestos in the vicinity of the residence and the environment.

Lung Cancer Treatment Options: Beating Lung Cancer


True to the greatest number of cases of cancer treatment depends on many factors. After lung cancer is set, the doctor and patient can discuss with each other now, the treatment options that will be needed. The patient should be well informed about the side effects and possible outcomes of certain procedures.

-

must all be addressed in order to avoid unpleasant. Other factors to take into consideration the general health status, health problems, medical treatment (eg chemotherapy) affect the characteristics of the tumor.

Mesothelioma Diagnosis



Mesothelioma is a technical term for cancer of the mesothelium.

It can be difficult to diagnose because many of the symptoms are similar to other conditions such as lung cancer.

your first visit to your doctor, he will ask about exposure to asbestos. Older houses are made ​​of asbestos.

Although it is difficult to detect in its early stages, your doctor may perform several tests. Chest x-ray, CT and MRI scans allow the doctor to make a good diagnosis.

CT is used to create detailed images. MRI scan uses magnetism, radio waves and a computer, but does not use radiation to create a clear picture.

These tests help doctors differentiate between mesothelioma and other lung tumors. And they can also help determine where the tumor.

If needed, your doctor may need to draw the fluid to confirm the diagnosis. There are several ways to do it.

First, the doctor can make a small incision to place a flexible tube into the tumor, called thoracoscopy. Sometimes, however, more extensive surgical procedure May be desirable.

Second, thoracotomy can be done to open the chest to get a tissue sample, and to remove most of the visible tumor. Also, mediastinoscopy can be done to determine what a cancer.

Subsequently, samples of tissue under the microscope to determine whether it is mesothelioma cancer or other cancers.

I decided to write about mesothelioma because my dad was exposed to asbestos while working on the house. Now, he's breathing to be done.

Mesothelioma Surgery- What Are Your Options?


There are three main types of surgery used to treat mesothelioma.

Diagnosis-operation: This is used to confirm diagnosis and tumor location. It is usually noninvasive {it does not require cutting the patient's surgical}

B-curative surgery: This involves removing as much tumor as possible with the hope of treating the patient. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy and is often used in combination with this type of surgery.

C-Palliative surgery: This type of surgery offers only symptomatic relief. This involves the removal of cancer tissue, but does not offer a cure.

These are different types of surgical procedures for treatment:

1-Biopsy

This is a diagnostic form of surgery in which the suspected cancer tissue was partially removed and sent to a laboratory for research under a microscope to determine whether cancer cells. There are three types of biopsy procedures} cone biopsy is not generally relevant in the diagnosis of mesothelioma. b} Excisional biopsy involves removing as much as possible all the cancerous cells for testing. c} needle biopsy usually uses a long needle to remove a sample of cells from the area where cancer is suspected.

Surgical resection is done with lung cancer patients whose cancer has not spread further. This is achieved by the following: thoracotomy - opening the chest for surgery - and medianSternotomy - surgery performed by cutting through the sternum

.

Other approaches are limited in front thoractomy (ALT) conducted thoractomy head on his chest with a small incision, anterioraxillary thoracotomy (AAT), thoracotomy performed in the chest near the shoulder, front and posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) thoracotomy at the bottom / side of the torso area . ALT, in particular, is less invasive than standard thoractomy - that is, less interferencethe body through cuts or other drastic measures. ALT May result in less surgical blood loss, less postoperative drainage, and less postoperative pain standard thoracotomy.

has recently been achieved in other, less invasive procedures to remove tumors. For example, video-assisted thoracoscopy (VAT), or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is unknown. This method uses a camera to install and operate the lung in grudima.Kirurški incisions are made during the sale, but for small thoracotomy or sternotomy was necessary.

2-Thoracentesis

This surgical procedure is used in the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma, and is also used as a palliative treatment to drain excess fluid in the pleura in cases of pleural mesothelioma. During thorancentesis, a long hollow needle is inserted into the pleural space and lung fluid is drained through iglu.Kirurgija is done under local anesthesia. Usually before the procedure is performed, the doctor orders for a plain chest x-ray to see the best place from which to extract tekućina.Drenirani liquid then is transported to the laboratory for testing.

3-pleurodesis

This is a palliative surgery is usually done for patients with pleural space mesothelioma.Pleuralni first taken from the excessive accumulation of fluid, and then talk like a chemical is inserted into the pleural space that causes inflammation in the pleural space. This clears space and prevent further fluid accumulation.

4-pneumonectomy

Pneumonectomy is the removal of a lung. This form of surgery is usually used to treat mesothelioma affects only one lung. Can not be used for plural mesothelioma affects the lungs, and also not suitable for the treatment of advanced cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Suitable candidates are suitable for this procedure must have a very good general health. This operation is performed under general anesthesia and affect the lungs was removed in potpunosti.Pacijent will have to breathe with the help of respirator for several days after surgery.

5-Parencentesis

Parencentesis palliative surgery is a form of peritoneal mesothelioma in which excess fluid in the peritoneum (which causes abdominal pain and swelling} takes a long, hollow needle is inserted into the abdomen.

6-thoracotomy

Thoracotomy is a generic term that refers to the lung surgery that is performed in patients with pleural mesaothelioma. There are three main types of thoracotomy procedures} Wedge resection is used to remove small localized tumors, leaving as much healthy tissue as possible intact. B} lobectomy's removal of one or more lung lobes, and C}-pneumonectomy to remove the whole lung on one side

7-Thorascocopy

This is a procedure that can be used for diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma and other diseases pluća.Kirurški the cut is performed in the chest, a long tube is inserted into the pleural spaces of the lungs, allowing the physician / surgeon to examine the pleura. Samples of suspected cancer cells are then removed for testing.
