Mesothelioma asbestos cancer

Human organs are accompanied by a protective capsule known as the skin. Instance mesothelilial peritoneal membrane (abdominal organs), pleura (lungs), pericardial (heart). Under certain conditions, protective film cells out of control and become cancer. The disease known as mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by long-term inhalation of asbestos dust. The disease was found in those who work in shipyards, asbestos mines, factories, industrial production of asbestos products, heating, construction and other industries. Each year, about 3,000 in the United States, the majority of patients between 50-70 years old . Statistics show that commonly affect men, African Americans were more than whites. First, in-depth study in the late 1700s to do research in the 60's. Tumors can be benign or malignant mesothelioma. Malignant mesothelioma are divided into three types: ● epithelium, accounting for seventy percent of mesothelioma. ● sarcoma, accounting for 7-20%. ● mixed or biphasic, accounting for 20-35%. When asbestos fibers into the lungs breathing air travel to reach them through a large number of small channels, from their pleura. They pleural injury: skin cells to cause cancer; lung tissue caused by lung cancer; and the development of scar tissue called the lungs of asbestos. When they reached the swallowed asbestos fibers, resulting in abdominal peritoneal mesothelioma. Research shows that this disease only manifests 20-50 years after asbestos dust was. The symptoms rather than specific disease patients may evolve: ● breathing. ● Chest pain accompanied by tension caused by the accumulation of pleural fluid is believed to be. ● low back pain. ● facial swelling and weapons. ● sensory loss. ● Muscle weakness. ● nausea. ● vomiting. ● weight loss is unknown. ● persistent dry cough. ● sore throat. ● anemia. ● fever. ● constipation. ● problems and blood clots. Because of these common ailments, patients tend to ignore symptoms. It is best to consult a doctor if any of these symptoms persist or you think you have knowingly or unknowingly exposed to asbestos. The doctor will: ● Remove the detailed history and try to determine the symptoms and risk factors. ● a thorough physical examination and check marks: Australia pleural effusion, chest cavity fluid accumulation. Australia peritoneal fluid. O pericardial effusion, fluid in the lining of the heart. ● to take chest X-ray examination, pleural thickening and calcification, lower lung fissures. ● required CT scans to determine a specific location, size, and extent of the problem, if there is any doubt. ● Organization recommend testing samples and pleural fluid. Other risk factors are cigarette or cigar smoking, radiation exposure, zeolite is a compound similar to asbestos exposure or infection exposure activated, a monkey virus. The working environment of those adventures are put on protective clothing, suspended particles around the periodic inspection of asbestos and to ensure that they have regular medical examinations to doctors insisted that any disease. Aware of their problems, and contribute to disease.
