Mesothelioma Information - The Role of Asbestos in Mesothelioma Cancer Mesothelioma cancer is not a popular cancer yet is one of the most deadly diseases. The average life span of a person who suffers from mesothelioma is ranging from twenty to thirty months after being diagnosed. The underlying cause is the inhalation of the asbestos dust particles and fragments. Asbestos is a poisonous mineral that is commonly used for fireproofing. This can be seen on buildings, construction sites, factories, mining and other asbestos-exposed environment. Asbestos Causing Mesothelioma Cancer Once a person inhaled the asbestos particles, its fragments will go directly to the lining of the lungs targeting the cells and tissues. Because asbestos is a foreign to the body, the lungs will get irritated trying to release the fragments. The antibodies will then go to the rescue yet is not enough to treat the disease. As a result, fluid will be secreted on the lungs giving the person

Mesothelioma Cancer - An Invasive Form Of Disease Do you know that too much exposure to asbestos can lead to a very serious disease? This disease is often known as Mesothelioma Cancer. People who are exposed in too many asbestos particles during their work have the higher possibility to develop mesothelioma.  Mesothelioma cancer is an illness caused due to too much inhaling of asbestos dust. In this type of disease, malignant cells were form in the mesothelium (a protective lining that acts as a shield that protects our internal organs such as the heart and the lungs). Coughs, shortness of breath and chest wal pain are some of the common symptoms of mesothelioma. Unlike any other cancer, mesothelima does not usually reach the adrenal glands, bones and brain. Its main target is the respiratory and circulatory system.

Mesothelioma cancer is one of the scary, serious, and deadly health problems. This disease has many kinds and one of it is the " Malignant Mesothelioma ". It is the forming of tumor - a malignant (cancer) cell in the mesothelium . Malignant Mesothelioma - A Deadly Disease Our bodies have a special cell called " mesothelial ". This cell is cover or protected by a tissue called "mesothelium". The purpose of mesothelium is to produce a special fluid that serves as "lubricant". It helps those internal organs to function normally. The mesothelium of our internal organs has different names in order to specify it easier.  Different Names of Mesothelium: Pleura- is the mesothelium of the chest and covers the lungs. Peritoneum- the mesothelium of abdomen. Pericardial- the mesothelium of heart. Malignant mesothelioma can occur in this mesotheluim. It is called " Pleural Mesotheliomas", Peritoneal Mesotheliomas" and "Pe

Problems Caused By Mesothelioma Lung Cancer

Problems Caused By Mesothelioma Lung Cancer Mesothelioma lung cancer is a form of cancer that targets the pleura (lungs) of a person working on asbestos-exposed company or place. Mesothelioma lung cancer is the leading cause of death in asbestos-related illnesses. Usually, a mesothelioma lung cancer is associated with asbestos exposure. Once a person inhaled the particles of asbestos, tissues on the lungs are starting to form small scars. This process is called asbestosis. Problems Caused By Mesothelioma Lung Cancer The scars formed in the tissue causes the person to breath hard and if not diagnosed early, would lead to the blocking of the airways and air passages on the lungs and will make the person to breathe more slowly. The situation will get more serious if the person would ignore the symptoms and it will lead to Mesothelioma lung cancer. Mesothelioma lung cancer is developed because of the scars that became tumors. It will then spread throughout the lungs and t

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is another type of cancer. The difference between pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma is the place of growing tumors, in the second type the tumors develop on the peritoneum . Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma - Cancer In Lining Of Lung Malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of Mesothelioma cancer, making up over two-thirds of all mesothelioma cases. This type of malignat mesothelioma is commonly fatal and for which there are no widely accepted curative approaches. It is a rare and highly aggressive tumor that has become more prevalent in recent decades. Pleural is a tiny tissue that covers our lungs. One disease that may occur in this mesothelium is called "Malignant (cancer) Pleural Mesothelium". To much exposure in asbestos may lead in this disease. Asbestos has been identified as the major cause of mesothelioma disease. This one reason why many cases of mesothelioma found on those person whose work w

Peritoneal Mesothelioma - A Key To Death

-
Peritoneal mesothelioma is one of the causes of many deaths each year. It is a form of cancer that attacks the peritoneum, the lining of the abdomen. Only one-fifth to one-third of the total number of mesothelioma cases diagnosed has a peritoneal form. Previous asbestos exposure is the primary factor that causes peritoneal mesothelioma. There are two reasons on how asbestos fibers can get inside the peritoneum. How Asbestos Fibers Enter the Body The first one is that the fibers that lodge in the intestinal tract move to the intestinal wall to reach the peritoneum. Another way is that the fibers that lodge in the lungs go to the lymphatic system and the finally transported to the peritoneum. Peritoneal mesothelioma is highly uncommon compared to the pleural mesothelioma. There are only 2 cases per 1 million popu

Pleural Mesothelioma Treatment And Diagnosis

-
Pleural mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the pleural sac that surrounds the lungs, and is caused by exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of mesothelioma cancer with estimated 75% of all mesothelioma cases being of this form. Pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that originates in the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, a membrane that covers the lungs and lines the chest cavity. Pleural Mesothelioma Treatments Mesothelioma treatments are needed to prevent this type of disease. Some people with pleural Mesothelioma or malignant pleural Mesothelioma are those whose work is mostly exposed to asbestos substance without any protective coat or suit. Once pleural Mesothelioma or other type of cancer are found on the body, more test will b
