Types Of Malignant Mesothelioma

A person who is exposed to asbestos fibers inhaled or absorbed, which is not very visible to the naked eye. As time passes, these fibers reacted with the cells of the body in such a way that they are subject to mutations and cause malignant mesothelioma. This exposure can be directly and indirectly, as family members and friends who come in contact with a person who is exposed to asbestos.

Types of Mesothelioma

The first type is called pleural mesothelioma mesothelioma, which affects the inner lining of the lungs, called the pleura. When asbestos fibers are inhaled causing scarring and damage to the cells in the inner lining. This leads to attack mesothelioma cancer. This is the most common type of mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, fluid retention in the lungs and signs of blood in the saliva.

The next type of mesothelioma is called peritoneal mesothelioma, which affects the inner lining of the stomach. This occurs when the asbestos fibers in the body and interfere with normal cells, penetrating her thin mucosa. It is not very often, but the attack was marked by symptoms including abdominal pain, a feeling of nausea, constipation, sections of tissue in the abdomen, etc.

The third type is pericardial mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the heart. There are very few cases of this type of cancer diagnosis and symptoms include chest pain, heart palpitations and mild cough.

Mesothelioma life

This is a very dangerous form of cancer, a man who has been diagnosed do not live more than two years. The danger is more than the fact that the symptoms occur only a few decades after the first exposure to asbestos. Although the underlying cause is exposure to asbestos, it is not the only reason. In the 30 to 40 years at the surface after the initial infection. But the main reason for concern is that by the time he was diagnosed usually in the later stages. Life expectancy of mesothelioma is less than two years, this time period is very painful, mentally and physically. There are many doctors and surgeons who are constantly experimenting with treatments and preventive methods, I feel very positive that could increase to almost 5 years. If this is possible, then it would be a great achievement in the world of medicine, as of today Mesothelioma is the dreaded "silent killer.

The benefit of early diagnosis


The man who was exposed to asbestos at any point of time in life it is always advisable to test for mesothelioma. Even if they are not directly exposed, even if a family member, as well as to your family and to check for signs. Since it takes a long time for symptoms to point to your current state of health is not a criterion. Even if you're completely right now to check for any damage. It is better to check before symptoms appear, it will soon be too late.

There are many types of mesothelioma cancer, and most of the effects of the causes are still unknown. However, due to asbestos exposure and mesothelioma life expectancy is necessary to know the type of cancer.
