Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that forms in the linings of organs. It most often affects the lung (pleura) but it can also affect the abdominal lining (peritoneum), heart or testicles.

Mesothelioma can be caused by asbestos fibre exposure. Typically, symptoms don't appear until decades after exposure.

Signs and symptoms

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that occurs in the lining of specific organs. It usually starts in the layers of tissue that line the lungs (pleura) but it could also start in the tummy's lining (peritoneum) or, much less frequently in the membrane surrounding the heart (pericardium).

Mesothelioma symptoms can mimic many other ailments and could be mistaken for something less serious, like bronchitis or 0270469 pneumonia.

Treatment

Mesothelioma is a cancerous disease that affects the thin layer of protection that surrounds many organs, including the lung is caused by exposure to asbestos. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, which is a group composed of minerals that are made up of microscopic fibers that were once widely employed in construction. Symptoms typically develop over a period of time after exposure. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. After diagnosis, the average life expectancy is between 12 and 21 months.

There are four kinds of mesothelioma. The type a person has will affect their prognosis. The most common is pleural mesothelioma. This forms in the lining of the lungs. The three other kinds are peritoneal mesothelioma testicular mesothelioma, and pericardial meso.

Based on the type of mesothelial cell that is found in the tumor, there are three types of mesothelioma. Epithelioid mesothelioma is the most frequent type and has the highest prognosis. It usually grows slower than other types of mesothelioma. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma is the rarest form and fastest growing mesothelioma.

Patients diagnosed with pleural melanoma have a better prognosis than those with mesothelioma of the peritoneal region. Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the lung's lining and is where the symptoms usually manifest. The signs of pleural mesothelioma could be similar to those of other diseases, which is why patients are often misdiagnosed.
