Types Of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer is rare. The main factor that causes mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos fibers. There is a gap of time, sometimes even up to 30 years, between asbestos exposure and the incidence of the disease. There is the difficulty of diagnosing this disease because the symptoms are very similar to other benign diseases such as pneumonia.

Mesothelioma is a disease that affects the mesothelium, or layers that form a protective layer around the abdomen, lungs, heart and other body parts. The cells of the Mesothelium may divide quickly. And tersebuat cells also have a longer life span and growing too fast. Abnormal growth of the cells of the mesothelium is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. People who have worked in the asbestos industry or live near asbestos industry and their families would be more susceptible to contracting the disease.
Mesothelioma is divided into three main types. Type tersebuat is (pleural when affecting the lungs), (peritoneum when affecting the stomach) and (pericardial when affecting the heart). About 75% of cases comes from pericardial mesothelioma pleural and peritoneal or 20%. There are also some other rare types of mesothelioma that affects 5 per cent of the rest. All these statistics only relate to cases that are documented. There are still thousands of cases are not diagnosed or not registered worldwide.
Pleural mesothelioma:
Among the various types of cancer, mesothelioma accounts for only a small part. However, among the various types of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma accounts for nearly three quarters of the cases documented. In pleural mesothelioma, fluid will be built between the chest and a layer of mesothelium.
symptoms:
The symptoms of this disease is like panting, shortness of breath, fever, severe loss, coughing blood and breathing difficulties. Mesothelioma patients face the chest cavities of acute chest pain. This disease is not easy to diagnose because the symptoms similar to pneumonia.There is no known cure for mesothelioma chest cavity. There are two types of pleural mesothelioma is a cancer and non-cancer. When the cancer, it is referred to as malignant form and when it is non-cancerous, it is referred to as benign form.
Mesothelioma latency period of approximately 20 to 50 years. This makes many people issues to link the disease with exposure to asbestos. They may have changed a lot of work today and could not consider their disease as a disease of the occupation.
Thoracic Mesothelioma caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. These fibers enter the lungs through the nose or mouth and they mangendap in the lungs. Then, they travel over the network. Because light and invisible, they become easily airborne and inhaled. When asbestos fibers settle down in a layer of mesothelium, the cells of the mesothelium start showing abnormal behavior, cause mesothelioma. Formed tumors on the disease in the lungs and mesothelium and may spread to other body parts.
Because they are difficult to detect, they may have been causing havoc to its fullest when they are detected. Mostly, when detected, mesothelioma patients in the final stages of cancer with just a few months or years. Sometimes, not even. Mesothelioma is a horrible killer diseases. Tests and appropriate measures should be taken by the medical fraternity to detect the disease as soon as possible.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma:
Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a disease that is very rare. About 10-20% of the documented cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma. Types of mesothelioma affect a patient's stomach. Cells mesothelium stomach behave abnormally in this disease. This disease is also caused by an oral inhalation of asbestos fibers. Fibers traveling through the entire gastrointestinal tract and settled in some parts of the digestive system. A layer of Mesothelium which began in cells that divide rapidly and also has a longer life span. This caused a tumor in the abdomen and may also spread to other parts of the body. The main symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma are pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, fever, chest pain, weight loss and severe abdominal trouble breaking. Loose motions or constipation, swelling and pieces of tissue in the abdominal area abdominal are classic signs of peritoneal mesothelioma. The disease was diagnosed in several ways using x-rays, IT scans, MRI, PET, laparoscopy, laparotomi, torakotomi, and so on. The main risk factor for contracting this disease is exposure to asbestos fibres and asbestos dust. But some of these factors also increase the risk of contracting the disease:



* A family with a history of hereditary cancer risk factors.
* Smokers appear to have a higher chance of contracting the disease compared to non-smokers, who have the same level and the amount of exposure to asbestos fibers.
* The Zeolite is a mineral that has properties very similar to those of asbestos and also seems to be an equally dangerous with asbestos.
* Thorium dioxide used in x-ray is also a factor to trigger cancer.

Pericardial mesothelioma:
The most rare form of mesothelioma is pericardial mesothelioma, it affects the mesothelium lining of the heart. Pericardial mesothelioma is the main symptom of chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, fever, fatigue and cough. As with all types of mesothelioma, there is no remedy for types as well. The only thing doctors can do is to reduce the pain and discomfort of the symptoms and help a patient has a comfortable and peaceful death.
Cardiac pericardial layers will be removed to reduce the symptoms. The heart is the most fragile of body. It is covered with a layer of brittle even called perikardium. That's why this disease known as pericardial mesothelioma as it affects perikardium. Early symptoms are fatigue, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and coughing constantly. Because the signs are common for other heart problems, it is difficult to diagnose this disease. Slowly, starting from the thickening of the lining of the heart and heart started filling fluid. It also can spread to other organs.
Pericardial mesothelioma at a later stage, patients are finding it very difficult to consume food or liquids. Lungs gradually stop functioning and obstruction in the intestine becomes more prominent. A worsening heart condition and patients may be affected by stroke or heart attack. Death of a mesothelioma patient safety solutions and crave. The people who are most likely to get the disease are those who face the constant exposure to risk factors such as

Shipyard Workers *
* Asbestos workers and miners ' industry.
* Industrial Zeolite ' Workers and miners.
* Construction Site Workers.
* Poof of fire materials manufacturers
* Cement Mixer
* Painter
Not just the above groups of people have a higher chance of contracting the disease but also their families run the risk of contracting this disease. Workers when they returned home with the dust of asbestos and asbestos fibers in their clothes and their families may be affected by this disease. Workers should take the following preventive measures:

1. They should wear protective clothing to work.
2. They have to change clothes and wash them before they leave home.
3. An expert should be used to detect if there is asbestos in housing and the nearby environment.
