WHAT IS MESOTHELOMIA?
MESOTHELOMIA IS A RARE FORM OF CANCER THAT MOST FREQUENTLY ARISES FROM THE CELLS LINING THE SACS OF THE CHEST OR THE ABDOMEN. PLEURA MESOTHELOMIA IS THE MOST COMMON FORM, OFTEN PRESEAND WITH SYMTOMS IN THE CHEST AREA .THIS CAN EFFECT THE COMON FORM, OFTEN PRESENTING WITH SYMTOMS ARE RELATED TO THIS AREA OF THE BODY , THAT IS ABDOMINALSWELLING,NAUSEA,VOMITING AND BOWEL OBSTRUCTION.
WHAT ARE THE SYMTOMS OF MESOTHELOMIA?
1.SHORTNESS OF BREATH
2.CHEST PAIN
3.COUGH
4.WEIGHT LOSS
5.NIGHT TUMOR
PATIENTS MAY ALSO BE ,WITH THE DISEASE DISCOVERD BY PHYSICAL EXAM OR AN ABNORMAL CHEST X-RAY
WHAT IS THE CAUSES OF MESOTHELOMIA?
SOME PEOPLE IN MALIGNANT MESOTHELOMIA HAVE WORKED ON JOBS WHERE THEY BREATHED ASBESTOS. THIS INVOLVES IN MEN OVER 40 YEARS OF AGE AND OTHER HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ASBECTOS IN A HOUSE HOLD ENVIRONMENT .THE NEW CASES OF NUMBERS OF MESOTHELOMIA HAS BEEN RELATIVELY STABLE SINCE 1983.
IN EUROPE , THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES OF MESOTHELOMIA CONTINUES TO RISE.

HOW DEOS ASBESTOS GET MESOTHELOMIA?
AN EXPOSURE OF AS LITTLE A ONE OR TWO MONTHS CAN RESULT IN MESOTHELOMIA 30 OR 40 YEARS LATER AND IN SOME CASES ,AS MUCH as 70 years later.how asbectos show up for mesothelomia?
people exposed in the 1940s ,50,60,and 70 ar ,e now being diagnosed with mesothelomia because of the long latency period of asbestos disease.
HOW is diagnosed mesothelomia?
most people send symtoms to the doctors a fluid build up around the lungs,shortness of breath pain in the chest or swelling in the abdomen.the doctor may order an x-ray or ct scan of the chest or abdomen.and the following testes may be done:
1.thoracoscopy
2.peritoneoscopy
3.biopsy
MESOTHELOMIA NEW TREATMENT STUDIED HAVE DONE
TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE DETERMINED BY THE STAGE OF MESOTHELOMIA (THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE TUMOR HAS SPREAD IN THE BODY).THERE ARE THREE STAGING SYSTEMS CURRENTLY IN USE AND EACH ONE MEASURES SOMEWHAT DIFFRENT VARIABLES.
THE OLDEST STAGING SYSTEM AND THE ONE MOST OFTEN USED IS THE BUTCHART SYSTEM ,WHICH IS BASED MAINLY ON THE EXTENT OF PRIMARY TUMOR MASS AND DIVIDES MESOTHELOMIAS INTO FOUR STAGES.
EXTENT OF TUMOR MASS
STAGE1:mesothelomia is present in the right or left pleura and may also ionvolve the diphragm on the same side .
STAGE.2:mesothelomia invaades the chest wall or involves the esophagus,heart,or pluera on both sides .lymph nodes in the chest may also be involved.
STAGE.3:mesothelioma has penetrated through the diaphragm into the lining of the abnormal cavity or petroneum. lymph nodes beyond those in the chest may be involved.
STAGE.4:mesothelomia has spread into the lyph nodes in the chest on the side opposite the primary tumor ,or directly extended into organs in the abdominal cavity or neck.
TREATMENT OF MESOTHELOMIA PATIENT
there are three traditional kinds of treatment for patients with malignant ----course------
surgery(taking out the cancer)
radiation therapy(using high dose -x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
chemotherapy(using drugs to fight the cancer)
SOME DRUGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE TREATMENT OF MESOYHELOMIA
LOVASTATIN or CHOLESTEROL drug shown in a recent study to potentially inhibit mesothelomia cancer cell death.
intrapleural INTERFERON gamma is the direct administration of the anti-cancer drug interferon gamma.
pHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY kills cancer using the energy of light.
