Most women who are victims of this deadly disease secondary or environmental exposure to asbestos. He was due to some direct contact with the metal in the function and the lack of them have developed the disease without any known exposure to asbestos.
Some studies have shown that women who develop mesothelioma are more likely to have peritoneal mesothelioma, and shape of the belly of the disease with risk factors for mesothelioma increased five-fold increase with exposure. It is noted that in a study published in the journal Chest reasons are not clear, but studies continue to look in the hope of getting the answer to this question.
In some rare cases in the United States women are exposed to asbestos naturally. This is the asbestos that is found in the ground, and usually have a variety of very toxic amphibole. This explains the high rate of mesothelioma cancer in countries such as Turkey and the surrounding areas, industries where asbestos is abundant.
Causes of tumor in women
During World War II, many women are part of the labor force and regularly exposed them to asbestos in the building of ships and factories and other places where asbestos. Which contributed to the war effort, and some of these women developed mesothelioma. This was the case in fact the result of direct exposure to asbestos or toxic metals.
Chemical plants, oil refineries, shipyards, power stations and steel mills all those places have made extensive use of asbestos. And many women who are diagnosed with mesothelioma were considered victims of exposure to asbestos used. This means that they do not have direct exposure to the toxic metal, but may have been vulnerable to exposure by an indirect way. Generally, this happens most often in the past when men were working in factories that employed men. In many cases, spouses or parents of the women who later would develop mesothelioma would bring asbestos dust on their clothes, and these fibers will be inhaled by others who live in the house. They were the victims of women who wash these clothes.
Diagnosis of tumor in women
There are very rare cases some individuals have suffered mesothelioma without ever coming into direct contact with asbestos. These patients are often young women who develop very specific types of cancer. Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma, for example, are commonly found in women of 30 and does not have a strong relationship to exposure to asbestos. Although it often occurs in the peritoneum, has been diagnosed with the disease in other areas such as the pleura. Those diagnosed with this cancer usually have a better prognosis of mesothelioma patients on average. WDPM patients have an average life expectancy ranging from three years to more than 10 years.
Is given for the diagnosis of mesothelioma based on the specific terms and was originally developed for cancer. Are diagnosed, most women who develop cancer with pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs. In men, and pleural mesothelioma occur more than peritoneal mesothelioma five times that develops in the lining of the abdomen. In women, and tend this ratio. Pleural mesothelioma occurs only twice as often in women and peritoneal mesothelioma. Pericardial mesothelioma, and the third most common type, develops in the lining of the heart. Are almost always associated with these three types of mesothelioma with asbestos exposure.
There are three routes of exposure to asbestos is the primary during work or in the environment or through secondary contact. Most were women with mesothelioma either way high or the environment, but some had direct occupational exposure. Will talk about every way.
First, occupational exposure
Exposure to asbestos usually occurs in the male-dominated occupations such as factory workers, insulators, mechanics and similar industrial occupations. And women who have suffered job-related exposure usually worked in positions that were not as labor-intensive. For example there are reports of patients with mesothelioma were school teachers, men and women who have developed mesothelioma. Found that they had worked for several years in school buildings that contain asbestos. Some of the decorative spray-on asbestos from asbestos materials. There are other reports have put even bakers mesothelioma due to asbestos found in and around the furnaces.
Environmental Exposure
Doctors analyzed statistics from the Australian mining town of Asbestos. Between 1943 and 1992, and was nearly three thousand women and girls living in the town. In 2004 and formed malignant pleural mesothelioma for 8 percent of all deaths in the group of women in this town.
Secondary exposure
Exposure to asbestos can have deadly effects. Barbara and his daughter Evelyn FITT force both died of mesothelioma after exposure to asbestos involuntary. Husband works FITT, and John, and power in the asbestos industry in England for decades. When he returns to his house and his clothes are white with dust and asbestos fibers. In 1993, John died of mesothelioma force. Any after 25 years be spent in the industry, and Barbara and Evelyn, who have been exposed to asbestos when scrubbed clothes work force, also contracted the disease. Barbara died of mesothelioma in 1996 and Evelyn died in 2004 and the reason was the inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers.
Mesothelioma treatment for women
Women face the same treatment options available, such as treatment of men exactly what Awalalaj by chemotherapy and radiation surgery. If the cancer has not progressed much beyond a certain area, surgery can be curative. If the diagnosis is poor, and you are struggling to deal with your symptoms, however, may be palliative surgery.
Studies have shown that women generally live longer after surgery than men. This study was applied to more than 700 cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma, and lung cancer was surgically removed. Were separated on the issues based on the type of cells that make up tumors of patients. Epithelial tumors tend to be composed of uniform cells, while nonepithelialtumors usually have more cell types are inconsistent and random. Distinction has been made in this study because the epithelial and nonepithelial tumors can react differently to treatment. This study found that women with mesothelioma tumors lived longer than men with similar tumors after surgery. The average life span of women after surgery about 30 months, compared with about 18 months for men of any nearly twice as long.
