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.
Pathology classification of mesothelioma cancer cases
according to the levels of criteria, namely:
Lungs (pleural mesothelioma)
The heart (pericardial mesothelioma)
The abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma)
Phases:
Stage 1: tumor cells began to form -
Stage 2 : tumor - the cancer has spread locally
Stage 3: tumor the cancer has spread to neighboring areas -
Stage 4 :cancer tumor had started to spread -
Diagnosis
Symptoms of mesothelioma have been classified and a history
of asbestos exposure is determined, the next step is to look inside the body -
initially with X-rays, followed by a more sophisticated imaging such as CT scan
or MRI. If these images reveal serious defects, and will be arranged a biopsy
or sample of tissue. And this sample is examined and analyzed in the
laboratory, which usually confirms or contradicts the diagnosis.
If the cell sarcoma associated with your case, doctors need
to analyze tumor tissue. This is retrieved tissue samples through a biopsy,
which is often through the introduction of a thin needle to the cancerous area
and extract a piece of fabric. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is sometimes
misdiagnosed as lung cancer, sarcoma, a cancer that affects the lungs and not
in the lining of the lungs as in mesothelioma.
To obtain an accurate diagnosis helps doctors get the best
course of treatment which can have a strong impact on the diagnosis of the
patient.
Any error in diagnosis can lead to a cycle is appropriate
for the treatment of mesothelioma that are being provided, it is a good idea to
get a second opinion and even a third case of suspected mesothelioma.
Treatment options
Although the details vary depending on the individual case
is dealt with all types of cancer through a combination of surgery, radiation therapy,
and chemotherapy. It all depends on the location and stage of cancer.
Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is defined as more resistant than
other cell types for most treatments and diagnosis of mesothelioma is not good.
The average survival rate of mesothelioma between diagnosis and death is seven
months. This resistance to treatment greatly affects the prognosis and that is
why patients sarcomatoid mesothelioma do not live as long as patients who
suffer from other cell types.
Cells of sarcomatoid mesothelioma, including chemotherapy,
surgery and radiation therapy. Some doctors recommend that patients with
sarcoma diagnosed at later stages should not receive any treatment because of
resistance sarcomatoid mesothelioma strong for most treatments. These doctors
believe that the side effects of treatment is very painful and stressful to the
lack of positive results felt by the patient.
Howdy dudes! Wonderful stuff protects it up.
