Introduction
There is nowadays much discussion everywhere in the world, remotely and more Internet, about the mesothelioma. In the United States, there are groups of conscience of mesothelioma in almost each city in the United States. Without counting that forum of discussion, the cells of mesothelioma, the forum of mesothelioma, groups legal etc, today search for conscience of mesothelioma of mesothelioma is a very vast subject. There is even a purse commemorative of mesothelioma which is offered each quarter. This purse is given in the memory and the honor of those which were touched by the mesothelioma. Billion dollars were spent in the test to fight this dreaded disease and to find a treatment. Let us start by putting this simple question - which is mesothelioma?
Which is mesothelioma?
Asbestos and the mesothelioma are infamously related. The mesothelioma is the shape of cancer which assigns the people who were exposed to asbestos. It is the rare shape of cancer, and assigns only these people who had a history of exposure to asbestos, not of others. However, there can be secondary cases, where a person can come into contact with somebody who was exposed to asbestos in the past. The key with the mesothelioma, just as obvious here, is exposure to asbestos.
The primary education cause of the mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. Once the patient inhaled dust/fibres of asbestos, other factors as the nicotinism can worsen the condition over a certain period of time. There can be other causes of the mesothelioma too. For example, there were diagnosed cases where the patient did not have any history of asbestos exposure. People can obtain it people who had the asbestos exposure. Before we proceeded further, leave define the mesothelioma to us.
Definition of mesothelioma: The mesothelioma is defined just as the rare shape of cancer, usually related to the preceding exposure to asbestos. In this disease, the cells (cancerous) malignant develop in mesothelium, a protective lining which covers majority of the internal bodies of the body. The malignant cells of mesothelioma proliferate with the affected sector, and are usually very difficult to remove completely.
The mesothelioma came to be largely known approximately only the Sixties, when the symptoms started to appear, and of the cases of mesothelioma were diagnosed. Through America, for people working with the equipment which was asbestos-related, it became a nightmare. It was more because at this time, asbestos, because of the number of advantages it had above other metals, was usually employed through industries very above the world. It was a tragedy of the epic proportions waiting to be released, and when it was released, devastates it to him worked in the lives of the people all through America. The thousands lost their lives with the mesothelioma, and equalize them now, of the thousands continue moreover to fight this dreaded disease.
Even today, more than 3.000 people are diagnosed with the mesothelioma in the United States. Today, the victims of mesothelioma and their parents fight to face the disease. For survivors of judicial action of mesothelioma against industries which brought this disease on them was one-way of exorcizer the pain and anguish which they had to undergo. For a certain number of victims of the mesothelioma the lawyers could arrange cases successfully. There are groups of support of mesothelioma to help of the victims of mesothelioma and their parents to face the life the shortly after the disease.
The mesothelioma is considered extremely mortal for a certain number of reasons:
• The diagnosis of mesothelioma is often very late. It appears in year-people after exposure to asbestos, as long as 15 to 20 years.
• While the period of gestation is extremely long, as mentioned above, the duration is extremely short, as less as two to three months. This means that person should not have even prolonged the exposure.
• The average lifespan of a person, after diagnosis, is very short, around 24 months.
• It assigns not only one person exposed to asbestos; the chances are that it can pass above the dust or fibre of asbestos to its close relation and expensive as well.
Types of mesothelioma
Mainly, the mesothelioma occurs in three sectors, based on in which mesothelioma is classified by category:
• Pleural mesothelioma (mesothelioma of the plèvre, the external lining protecting the cavity from trunk as well as lungs)
• Pericardial mesothelioma (mesothelioma of the pericardium, the bag locking up the heart)
• Mesothelioma péritonéal (mesothelioma of the peritoneum, the lining protecting the abdominal cavity)
Based on the types of cells seen in a patient of mesothelioma, the mesothelioma can still be classified by category in 3 types:
• Mesothelioma of Epithelioid (roughly 50 to 70 percent of all the cells mesothelial)
• Mesothelioma of Sarcomatoid (less common standard of cells of mesothelioma, roughly 10 to 15 percent)
• Two-phase mesothelioma. (roughly 20 to 40 percent of all the cells mesothelial)
Symptoms of the mesothelioma
The symptoms of the mesothelioma depend like mesothelioma which a patient can have. If a patient suffers from the malignant pleural mesothelioma, it would generally smell a pain in the area of trunk, accompanied by not very major breathing. These symptoms occur due to the deposit of the fluid in the plèvre.
The péritonéaux symptoms of mesothelioma differ from those of the pleural mesothelioma. In the case of the mesothelioma péritonéal located, the symptoms include:
• Fever
• Difficulties in movements of entrails
• Weaken
• Anomalies observed during the clots of blood
In the case of the mesothelioma péritonéal advances, the symptoms would further include the pain, a swelling of the face or neck, and difficulties in ingestion.
The symptoms of mesothelioma usually trace with those of other, few serious evils. Consequently it is careful to consult a specialist to ensure what the symptoms indicate.
Diagnosis of mesothelioma
The diagnosis of mesothelioma is not easy charge, because the symptoms trace with others few evils, as mentioned above. The first stage to diagnose the mesothelioma is an examination of the medical antecedents of the patient. It is important to know if the patient had does not import which diseases whose symptoms the mesothelioma shows too. Currently , it is also important to know if the patient had the exposure former to asbestos. If the patient did not have any disease to show the symptoms related to the mesothelioma, and had the exposure to asbestos, then there can be suspicion of the mesothelioma.
It is important to make a detailed physical examination of the patient, including x-rays, sweepings of CT, and MRIs. The hearth would be usually on the abdominal areas and of trunk. If there is something suspicious at the end of these examinations, it is recommended to make a biopsy.
A biopsy is usually made by a specialist, a oncologist or a surgeon. The biopsy implies to take a fabric sample coming from the patient and to submit it for specific testing to determine the presence or the absence of the mesothelioma. The biopsy in the case of the mesothelioma can be:
• Thoracoscopy (made by taking fabric samples of the interior of the area of trunk, by using a thoracoscope)
• Peritoneoscopy (made by taking fabric samples coming from the abdominal area, by using a peritoneoscope)
Once the diagnosis is made, it is essential to learn the stage with which the mesothelioma was detected. According to if cancer is always on the original site or if it deviated with other parts of the body, the mesothelioma can be called:
• Located (always with the original site)
• Advanced (diffusion with other parts of the body)
Treatment of mesothelioma
The treatments of mesothelioma change according to the type of mesothelioma, like also stage to which it was detected. The three forms of treatment generally most used against the mesothelioma are:
• Surgery - surgically removal of the cancerous part of body. For example, the malignant pleural treatment of mesothelioma could comprise the displacement of the affected lung by carrying out a pneumonectomy.
• Radiation therapy - to expose the affected part to the rays of great energy to kill the malignant cells
• Chemotherapy - by using chemicals/drugs to destroy the malignant cells, or by injecting them into the patient, or into intravenous, or by the direct placement in the trunk or the abdomen (chemotherapy intracavitary).
Without counting that these three options, research is in the course of finding newer and more effective options of treatment. The clinical tests played an important part in newer options involutes of treatment.
Forecast of mesothelioma
In the case of the mesothelioma, the forecast is not as precise as it is with other few serious evils. It is because the forecast usually depends on the phase with where disease is detected. The mesothelioma is usually detected completely late in a patient, thus it becomes difficult to state the percentage of treatment or the lifespan of a patient after treatment. Some statistics are available are not as reliable as it would be liked that they are. While it was not easy to determine which of both - pleural or péritonéal - the mesothelioma is harder to put in scene, the experts agree generally which a forecast is completely difficult for both.
However, the last studies and research proved that the patients of mesothelioma could not not be in line as bad as was at the believed beginning. These data are tabulées below.

It is right general data on the forecast of mesothelioma. There are specific data N available the Internet for the specific scenarios and situations.
