Understanding Mesothelioma And Types



Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by asbestos, either directly or indirectly. It consists of the formation of cancerous tumors in mesothelial cells mesothelium membrane and protects internal organs. This protective layer is damaged by the formation of mesothelioma cancer cell and cause the death of the person. After production of mesothelial cells, begins to multiply rapidly to take the form of a tumor. This disease has symptoms very late, if it is almost impossible for doctors to save the lives of patients.

Other causes of the disease are not fully understood. Smoking does not cause mesothelioma. Furthermore, there is no exposure to modern refractory material (eg, fiberglass). So dangerous and harmful to humans, the use of asbestos in the production failed. Furthermore, exposure to asbestos through contact with people in the industry are produced. Exposure to asbestos can in many ways, including, but not limited to, limiting boat service in the Navy, working on board a military or commercial establishment, as an insulator, or construction of residential or trade.
During the asbestos in the body, reducing the surface of normal cells, so that microbes from entering the cells, causing cancer. Since asbestos lung cancer is a rare disease, many patients seek treatment by a team of specialists in the treatment of mesothelioma. Disease mesothelioma treatment centers are located in hospitals, or work independently.
Asbestos exposure - often in the form of particles inhaled or swallowed dissolved in suspension - very dangerous and can cause serious health problems. Mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer are some deadly diseases related to asbestos. White asbestos not increase the risk of mesothelioma, but not as strong. Other tremolite fibers can also be called the cause. All types of asbestos, mesothelioma, if the fibers inhale or swallow. Blue and brown asbestos known as the most dangerous.
The first case of asbestos disease mesothelioma was filed nearly 70 years. The compensation is for employees only, the risk of asbestos exposure are available from 1940. Employees with a high risk of asbestos poisoning, in principle, the right to compensation for mesothelioma. Recently sued many patients with mesothelioma compensation. Currently, support for asbestos victims

Types of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma occurs in three forms, namely:
1 - pleural
2 - peritoneal mesothelioma
3 - Pericardial Mesothelioma

1 - pleural

With this kind of protective coating to the tumor of the breast (including the lungs), pleura were destroyed by the proliferation of tumor cells. This is the most common type of mesothelioma. Symptoms include persistent dry cough, shortness of breath, coughing up blood (hemoptysis) and night sweats, etc.

2 - peritoneal mesothelioma

In this type of mesothelioma, the protective layer is affected by the abdominal cavity through the formation of cancerous cells. This coverage is called the peritoneum. Symptoms include abdominal pain, weight loss is not uncommon to reach nausea, fatigue and anemia, etc. 10% to 20% of all cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed today.

3 - Pericardial Mesothelioma

In pericardial mesothelioma pericardial which protects our heart breaks for the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. Although it is a rare form of mesothelioma and accounts for only 6% of cases diagnosed in the day, however. Threat to life breaking extreme than other types of cancer mesothelioma symptoms are similar to other diseases of the heart, as it is very difficult to diagnose, and opportunity.
