Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Gambar
From the Previous Articles we looked in to the Mesothelioma Disease and from this Article I thought we should take look at Mesothelioma Diagnosis Process. There are many ways to diagnose Mesothelioma Cancer and donot have a specific path or method.  Process often involves multiple procedures, each performed by a different medical professional. Most people receive their official diagnosis within two to three months varying on their symptoms.                    Mostly Mesothelioma is diagnosed by pathological examination from a biopsy. Tissue is removed, placed under the microscope, and a pathologist makes a definitive diagnosis and issues a pathology report. Doctors will observe the patient from a Scan or an X-ray. The first step that mesothelioma doctors will take in evaluating an asbestos related disease is to obtain a full medical history to determine the level and severity of mesothelioma risk factors and presenting mesothelioma symptoms. If the tests reveal a suspicious mass that l

Get to know about Benign Mesothelioma

Benign Mesothelioma doesn't harm Malignant Mesothelioma and it is very easy to treat to that disease when comparing to the Malignant Mesothelioma. Benign mesothelioma is usually develop in the peritoneums of patients with no history of asbestos exposure. This type of asbestos cancer also differs from the malignant form in that benign tumors do not invade nearby tissues nor spread to other parts of the body.  The fact that it remains contained makes it much easier to address and mesothelioma surgery may be recommended. Although most patients are young to middle-aged women, doctors have observed benign cases in men as well. Several complications can arise if a tumor grows large enough, but most patients experience no symptoms at all. 20 percent of patients with benign mesotheliomas larger than 7 cm experience painful swelling of the joints and bones, low blood sugar, comas and seizures.                                Once diagnosed, benign mesothelioma is usually treated with

What is Malignant Mesothelioma

Malignant Mesothelioma is a cancer that starts in Cells. Those cells are often called as mesothelial cells.  This Malignant Mesothelioma is a rare form of Cancer affects the thin cell wall lining of the body's internal organs and structures. They can be mostly observed in the linings of certain parts of the body, especially the chest or abdomen. This cancer cell lining is known as Mesothelium.                                           Mainly Malignant mesothelioma has three types. They are malignant pleural mesothelioma, malignant pericardial mesothelioma, and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma occurs in the pleura, the lung's lining. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the peritoneum, the abdominal cavity wall. And pericardial mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the hearth, known as the pericardium. If you want to know more about above Mesothelioma Types refer to the below Articles which may help you a lot. Types of Mesothelioma Cancer Histological Subtypes

Who gets Mesothelioma and How

From all the previous Articles I have brought you the facts about what is Mesothelioma and what are the types of it. So from this post I'll present you the details that who will mostly get Mesothelioma Cancer.   Mesothelioma is a disastrous Cancer and every time Most developed countries Study this disease to have clear knowledge and an explanation about it. Most of Countries study the Patients who are suffering from this Cancer as, their Age, Sex, Actions regarding Sex, Locations and Workplaces. Eight international case studies of 657 mesothelioma patients between 1965 and 1975 confirmed the causal link between asbestos exposure and  malignant mesothelioma .                               Most of the Men work in work-sites, mines, building areas, railway tracks, shipyards, refineries and production plants are the ones who are threatened more with this disease.  When you get the breath of asbestos, Mesothelioma Cancer doesn't occur as quickly in days, weeks or months as other dis

Types of Mesothelioma Cancer

                          Mainly there are four main types of Mesothelioma Cancer.  Each type indicates the area of the body where the cancer originates.    doctors may examine the cellular features of a mesothelioma tumor to learn important characteristics of the disease. This action paves the path to them  to reveal the history of Cancer and it is very useful when treating.  When mesothelioma begins to grows, tumors form on the mesothelial lining surrounding the lungs, abdomen, heart or testicles.  These main types of Cancer Mesothelioma is known as  pleural, peritoneal, pericardial and testicular mesothelioma.  While the majority of mesothelioma tumors are malignant, there are also noncancerous forms of the disease, known as benign mesotheliomas. Below Image shows you the exact percentages of Types of Mesothelioma Cancer that can be diagnosed.                             In future Articles we are hoping to bring facts and information about each type of Mesothelioma Cancer and for no

Histological Subtypes of Mesothelioma Cancer

An important tool used in the definitive diagnosis of disease is histology, the microscopic examination of cellular anatomy.   Although it is most common for doctors to classify this cancer based on the tumor’s location, there are also various histological sub types of pleural, peritoneal, pericardial and testicular mesothelioma. Epithelial Mesothelioma Accounting for 50 to 70 percent of all cases, epithelial mesothelioma is by far the most common histological subtype. Compared to other cell types, epithelial mesothelioma typically responds better to treatment. It is therefore the histological subtype associated with the best survival. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma Cancers that arise from connective tissues are called sarcomas, and sarcomatoid mesothelioma is so named because under the microscope, its cells are elongated and spindle-shaped like those of a sarcoma, overlapping in a disorderly fashion. Between 15% and 20% of all malignant mesothelioma diagnoses are classified as sarcomatoid.

What is Mesothelioma ?

Lot of people exactly wonder what is this Mesothelioma illness and they are blank heads about it. Mesothelioma is mainly a cancer caused because of high term exposure to asbestos.  This is just the basic idea about what Mesothelioma is but, let me give you an explanation about Mesothelioma.                                  Mesothelioma   gets its name because cancerous tumors form in the mesothelium – the lining – of an internal organ. In the case of mesothelioma, the tumors form in the lining of the lung, the lining of the abdomen, the lining of heart or the lining of a testicle. There are mainly four types of Cancers and each of them are aggressive.  Cancers usually spread rapidly and if you are a Mesothelioma patient your life expectancy will be eight to twenty months.  Lot of physicians are struggling to find a cure for the cancer, Mesothelioma but for now to extend the life that shorted by Mesothelioma, Doctors give therapies, treatments and hold clinics.                  Most of
