Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Happens peritoneal mesothelioma in abdominal cavity and identification in cell walls surrounding the cavity kind abdomen. A rare type of cancer and incidence Tkzn very rare where a nearly 20% of the total patients with mesothelioma and affects about 500 people each year in the United States.
Mesothelioma is notorious for having a long latency period is growing silently, but does not affect the health and employment. In fact, in most cases, symptoms go decades before it became clear and this unfortunately means that the disease in an advanced stage before symptoms begin to appear. In many cases, this delay in diagnosis adversely affect the diagnosis of the patient.
Causes of peritoneal mesothelioma
Asbestos is the major cause of peritoneal mesothelioma. This occurs for either by swallowing
Asbestos fibers that settle in the peritoneal membrane, or by inhalation, which causes zihaar

Weight loss

Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma cancer that make up the vast majority of the diagnosis of mesothelioma. Basically, hit the lining of the lung or pleura with cancer cells. But, a little less common, peritoneal mesothelioma is the second diagnosis of mesothelioma most commonly used, as influenced by the membrane lining the abdominal cavity. Cancer mesothelioma is the rarest of pericardial mesothelioma, where the bag and protective surround damage the heart.


With the development of the disease, it may be weight loss becomes more dramatic and further weaken the patient. Depending on the location and submitted to the cancer, and could explain the loss in weight, understood and managed. With malignant mesothelioma, and weight loss occurs as a result of the impact of cancer on the devices involved.

Nausea


All types of cancer, mesothelioma consists of a very small percentage does not exceed 5% of the total cancer diagnosis, and medical community is expected that this number will increase rapidly over the next two decades. With exposure to asbestos for long periods and continuous, the particles can become attached to the mesothelium, or lining of internal organs and embrace for decades. However, there is a rare cancer mesothelioma diagnosis where exposure to asbestos was not present in the patient's life. Severe nausea that occurs during the first day after treatment and often have chemotherapy .

Mesothelioma and women

Malignant mesothelioma is a form of asbestos cancer is associated primarily with exposure to asbestos, which affects more men than women. This is not because women are less genetically pre-disposed to this disease, however. Primarily due to the fact that men working in often in professions and businesses that put in contact with asbestos dangerous. A profession dominated by men, the number of people infected men outnumber women four times as much.


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.

Malignant Mesothelioma

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the mesothelium (the lining surrounding the internal organs and structures) asbestos is basically Responsible for the development of mesothelioma, there are three types of malignant mesothelioma are as follows:
Malignant pleural mesothelioma, which occurs in the lining of the lung and pleura.Malignant pericardial mesothelioma occurs in the bag surrounding the heart, known as the (Prcardiom).
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, which occurs in the abdominal cavity and peritoneum, and this is the most common type of tumors.

Mesothelioma Latency Period

mesothelioma latency period
Latency period for mesothelioma is the first time between exposure to asbestos and when the doctor is able to diagnose the disease, meaning another is the length of time it takes from exposure to asbestos until the time when the disease becomes clear. Average latency period for mesothelioma between exposure and diagnosis is 35 to 40 years.
Recent studies have shown that the shortest latency period was between 10 to 15 years, and that as long as Tmo is more than 50 years.
Short latency period be because the patients may have an increased exposure to asbestos in their work such as shipyards and asbestos industries.

The third stage treatment of mesothelioma

The third stage treatment of mesothelioma
Phase III tumor had much less favorable prognosis for first and second stages and treatment options mesothelioma is often used to focus on to maximize comfort and reduce the symptoms of pain to the patient.
The third stage is known as mesothelioma by the extent to which the cancer has spread from its original location to other parts of the body, for example, the third stage pleural mesothelioma can be seen through local invasion of tumors in the chest wall. It is permissible for a small invasion of tumors in the lining of the heart also set the third stage mesothelioma. If the affected lymph nodes or abdominal cavity on the same side of the primary tumor and the doctor will probably confirm the diagnosis of the third phase.

Chest pain

Chest pain is a symptom of very serious, which should not be ignored. Is a great indicator of heart disease, and most people fear that chest pain means that there is something wrong with the heart. This is not always true. With mesothelioma, there are several reasons why you may be associated with pain in the chest and lungs instead of the heart:
Mesothelioma is usually caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos particles is a devastating disease. Carcinogenesis from normal cells in the mesothelium - the lining of the lungs and other organs - happens after a long latency period.

Although mesothelioma is a rare cancer where it began, and it has affected people all over the world. Because of the practical applications of various scientific and asbestos, and the large number of individuals who work with asbestos, it is not surprising that there is such a large increase in the number of cases are diagnosed.

The fourth stage Mesothelioma Treatment

The fourth stage is the last stage and the most advanced of mesothelioma are diagnosed with mesothelioma as one of the four stages, ranging from the first and the fourth stage. Patients who are diagnosed with stage IV mesothelioma treatment options will be less effective. And intensified by the mesothelioma is characterized by time and the fourth stage, and tumor growth and symptoms compared with the previous stages. This stage with the poorest prognosis, but the resources available to help patients to cope and make decisions the best treatment for their cause.
In the fourth stage Mesothelioma treatment is changing the focus to the end of life care and emotional support and management of physical symptoms. Surgery may provide temporary relief of pain, but is not recommended for this late stage of malignant mesothelioma to conduct surgery.

Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a cancer that attacks the lubricative layer lining the inside of the chest and abdomen and internal organs.
The presence of cells of sarcomatoid mesothelioma have an impact on patient diagnosis and treatment. And patients who are diagnosed with sarcomatoid mesothelioma diagnosis is the poorest and most experience little response to treatment. And evaluating the characteristics of sarcomatoid mesothelioma, learn how the disease is diagnosed, and knows how to deal with this kind of doctors better prepare you to diagnose and fight this type of cancer.

Sarcomatoid tumor accounts for about 10 to 15 percent of all diagnoses. And types of mesothelioma cells in this case are rectangular and arranged in a haphazard way to some extent. Sarcoma cells also lack a nucleus, in contrast to epithelioid cells, which have a nucleus and a clearly visible.

Phase II treatment of mesothelioma

It is known that mesothelioma may affect the lungs, pleural and pericardial heart or the abdominal peritoneum. Extent of mesothelioma determines what treatment options are available. Second stage of the cancer, and mesothelioma treatment strategies are similar to some extent to that of the first phase

Many of the patients and called for forms of cancer in the lining of the lungs and pleura, for example, in the second stage of pleural mesothelioma, cancer may have spread in the lining of the chest wall and the lining of the diaphragm, and the lining of the heart sac. However, because the cancer has not spread so far throughout the body, may be available cures. At this stage, and patients usually have a pleural mesothelioma surgical options that may be the preferred option.

Bowel Obstruction

Houansdad bowel obstruction prevents the intestinal contents from passing through the digestive system. Of the problem and can cause blockage inside or outside the intestine.
Within the intestine and the reason is the presence of a tumor or swelling prevents the passage within the intestine.
Outside the bowel, it is possible for a device or the neighboring area of ​​the tissue to pressure or distortion pinche part of the bowel.


Bowel obstruction is one of the most painful symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma. In many cases, bowel obstruction and presents later Kaared secondary due to the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen known as ascites. If it displays a bowel obstruction along with other symptoms associated with peritoneal mesothelioma is a sign that the disease is in an advanced state.

A blood clotting disorder

What is a blood clotting disorder?
Is a condition in which an increase in the risk of blood clots is decent. Also known as clotting stands, is the tendency of some people to develop blood clots in the parts of the body, such as the deep veins of the legs or the heart arteries. May arise because of the disruption of some underlying condition that develops during a person's lifetime which is known as acquired or may be the result of some genes passed from mother to child during pregnancy which is what is known as inherited.

In the United States, more than 70,000 people die each year from venous thromboembolism, and a lot of people who have a stroke experience issues long-term health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The first phase treatment of mesothelioma

The first phase is the first of four stages of the cancer mesothelioma. Diagnosis of mesothelioma means that the first stage of cancer in the beginning did not progress and the outlook is much better than it was in the later stages. At this stage, however, patients typically have no symptoms. For this reason it is very rare to be diagnosed before the advanced stages.

Required further testing to determine the stage of the cancer to diagnose mesothelioma. Depending on the type of mesothelioma, you may be using different methods of testing. Diagnostic tools to assess whether the cancer is in Phase I, Phase II, Phase III or Phase IV.

Dysphagia

Dysphagia is one of the main symptoms of mesothelioma or difficulty in swallowing can develop quickly in any individual. However, with many of malignant mesothelioma diagnosis experience most if not all of the symptoms associated with the disease. Are associated with many of the symptoms of mesothelioma, causing a series of physiological reactions to painful.

Dysphagia is associated to other symptoms of mesothelioma, including chest pain, malnutrition and severe cases in the weight loss or loss of appetite.

Hemoptysis

While spitting blood Amartiad this is hemoptysis, and this blood is derived from the lungs or the airways as a result of pulmonary hemorrhage, or bleeding in the airways. Hemoptysis is classified based nonmassive or on the size of a large loss of blood, but there are no standard definitions for these categories. In this article, is hemoptysis if nonmassive if blood loss is less than 200 ml per day. Lungs receive blood from the pulmonary arterial system and the airways. Low-pressure pulmonary system causes production of small volume hemoptysis while bleeding from the bronchial system, which is the pressure in the systemic, causing profuse expectoration of blood.


In general there are three types of mesothelioma that affect different parts of the body are pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lungs and pericardial mesothelioma, which affects the heart and peritoneal mesothelioma, which occurs in the abdomen. Hemoptysis and presents mainly with pleural mesothelioma, or in the lungs.

Children with Mesothelioma

Can be worrying when a child is diagnosed with cancer. Childhood cancer is often an uphill battle and sad, not only for the child, but also for their parents and their families, who have a problem accepting the disease and deal with the repercussions of a serious illness in the child.There are several support structures available, not only for patients of the children, but for all family members and loved ones.
 While children are often afraid and naive as to the seriousness of an incurable disease is likely, and also tend to possess the power of the human

anemia


Anemia is generally low level of hemoglobin in the blood of the normal level. Or decrease in the number of red blood cells which contain hemoglobin, which leads to lack of oxygen and thus a patient complains of fatigue.
There are three main types of anemia
  • Hemolytic anemia
  • Anemia caused by blood loss
  • Anemia caused by a defect in the production of red blood cells

biofeedback


We all know that the pain associated with cancer is often one of the hardest ways to deal with this disease. If you are dealing with pleural mesothelioma or peritoneal mesothelioma, pain is undoubtedly to be part of the equation, and often the thing that interferes with the most quality of life of the patient and the ability to work on a daily basis. And treatment of this pain is at the forefront of living with the disease.
