Many people have heard of knowledge Malignant mesothelioma lung disease that occurs in people who work or have worked with asbestos. If it is in most cases, a rare form of cancer that develops in the layer of tissue covering the lungs, the layer of tissue known as the mesothelium actually covers most of the internal organs, and the mesothelium can develop cancer in places different from those around the lungs, including the heart, abdomen and testicles. According to the American Cancer Society, asbestosis was diagnosed in 2000 or 3000 people a year in USIT is a risk to all those who work around asbestos fibers.

When asbestos is broken, as when it is extracted or the isolation in which asbestos was removed, the dust that is created can be inhaled causing (pleural mesothelioma) or swallowing (causing peritoneal mesothelioma). How asbestos fibers cause cell mutations that cause cancer is not understood, but may be the result of asbestos irritate the tissues of the mesothelium. Pleural (lung) mesothelioma causes symptoms such as difficulty breathing (also called pleurisy), shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, weight loss, and pieces of tissue under the skin of the chest.

When he attacks the mesothelium in the abdomen, a form of the disease known as peritoneal mesothelioma, symptoms include bloating, pain, altered bowel habits, weight loss, and pieces of tissue in the abdominal region. In the layer of tissue on the heart can cause chest pain and breathing difficulties. Testicular mesothelioma is so rare that there is little information on how to add symptoms.In difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing and chest pain, can exert pressure on the vena cava, the large vein that leads from the upper body toward the heart and can press nerves and spinal cord, causing pain.

It may also cause the accumulation of fluid in the chest, compressing the lungs and makes breathing difficult. People who die of this disease are usually killed by complications such as heart failure, lung failure, or stroke.This disease is called the "dose-dependent, which means that the longer you have been exposed to asbestos, or exposure to it is heavier, more likely to develop the disease (or pulmonary or other). Dose-dependence affects the length of time between exposure and diagnosis, which can range from 10 to 50 years.

Because even Doctors sometimes have difficulty to diagnose mesothelioma, is of vital importance for people who have been exposed to asbestos to symptoms such as breathlessness to the attention of their doctor without delay. The first diagnosis, the highest survival rate of survival rate. The mesothelioma is particularly worrisome because the disease is not usually diagnosed until it is advanced enough to cause symptoms. At this stage, the treatment options are very limited. In general, 7 and 20% of patients survive for Five or more years after diagnosis.

The average survival for a person with mesothelioma is between four and 18 months after diagnosis. Symptoms can last up to 50 years to develop after exposure to asbestos, mesothelioma most people do not know they have it.Because this, the development of new diagnostic tests and first aid are important areas for research on mesothelioma. Mesomark The relatively new blood test can help some people to be diagnosed, Mesothelioma treatment, earlier than would otherwise be, and more treatment options to improve survival rates.

Treatment options include traditional cancer treatments of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Usually, two or more of these treatment options will be combined. A number of clinical trials in the United States are yielding promising results, especially for those whose disease was diagnosed in time. In these cases, some clinical trials show survival rates of up to 40% versus 10%, the mean survival rates for mesothelioma .
