The most common type of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma. This is a rare malignant disease in the mesothelial cells, which collects the mesothelium, a membrane, a series of internal organs. In patients with pleural mesothelioma diagnosed that the tumor growth in the lining of the lungs that occurs pleura or the lining of the pleura known.
The pleura is composed of two layers of support and protection of the lungs and chest, including the outer layer (parietal) connects together the chest and diaphragm and the inner layer (visceral layer), for more than lungs. The disease usually develops in one of the previous layers, but can spread to the other layer. Similar to other malignant pleural mesothelioma is caused by asbestos.
Some of the symptoms of pleural mesothelioma:
• Dry cough
• coughing up blood
• swallowing
• shortness of breath occurs even at rest
• Persistent pain in the rib or chest pain or a terrible, breathing
• swelling under the skin in the chest
• Night sweats or fever
• Unexplained weight loss
• tiredness
Diagnosis
Pleural mesothelioma is not easy to detect because symptoms usually occur after the first exposure to asbestos in a timely manner. The diagnosis is based on a biopsy, the time to verify the existence of a mass based. Following a review of medical history and physical examination, patients, a number of medical procedures such as imaging studies, including CT or X-rays undergo in order to verify the location of the tumor. A patient is considered to be likely also to determine tissue and fluids, also known biopsies, the type and degree of cancer.
Treatments
further progress in the development of new drugs and methods of discovery gives hope to patients who are diagnosed with this disease have been. Since this type of cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of mesothelioma, the treatment options for pleural mesothelioma are more developed and optimized to serve for other types of diseases.
Symptoms
If asbestos fibers are trapped inside the body and cause the opening of the cancer process, generally as a first step thickened pleural membrane layers (pleural thickening), which is considered especially caused by the accumulation of fluids. Over time, the amount of fluid accumulates during the cource compromise in the course of time the respiratory complications resulting from normal respiration.
The three treatments are often used pleural mesothelioma:
Surgery
- to remove the primary tumor and surrounding tissue mesothelioma cancer cells in the area, then try to control or stop the growth of tumors. usually performed in combination with radiation or chemotherapy.
destroying chemotherapy
- treatment of pleural mesothelioma using conventional chemicals to treat cancer cancer cells.
Radiation therapy
- also called "radiation", which is the limited use of high doses of radiation to cancer tumors known pleural mesothelioma.
This process works by attacking cancer cells from mesothelioma in the treated area.
