Mesothelioma is a slurry of the lining of various organs in the body of a cancer disease. Among them, lung, heart and stomach to be most affected.
Estimated that each year 2,000 new mesothelioma case report. Patients suffering from this disease have pre-cancer asbestos exposure, mesothelioma that the only known cause. Mesotheliomic patients often tell 6 - 12 months short of the survival period. However, the study doctors specialized in treating malignant mesothelioma of the leading cancer centers expect better survival rates. Though mesothelioma causes immense pain and suffering to the victims along with the expected short-lived, some treatments lead to the success of mesothelioma cancer tumor reduction and removal.
Mesothelioma treatment depends on many factors, including the stage of cancer, malignant cells, pathology reports to determine the nature of cancer cell cycle and the patient's age and health. The following detailed description of the selected treatment of mesothelioma.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is that the "systematic treatment" mesothelioma use drugs, chemicals and medicine to kill cancer cells with high efficiency. It is a tablet form or injected patients directly into the body. Sometimes, medicine is inserted directly into the chest, known as intrapleural chemotherapy, or into the abdomen, called intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the destruction of cancer cell growth. It has also been restricted to patients before and after surgery mesothelioma cancer growth.
Wide range of uses pemetrexed, Alimta ®, in Cisplatin (a standard platinum compound) is to treat the combination of pleural mesothelioma. Drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in February 2004. The drug work is simple: it enters the blood of patients and the killing of cancer cells in the body, when the growth of malignant cells when to stop. Vitamin B12 and folic acid drug was given to accept that some patients side effects.
Radiation or radiation therapy
Mesothelioma is a slurry of the lining of various organs in the body of a cancer disease. Among them, lung, heart and stomach to be most affected.
Estimated that each year 2,000 new mesothelioma case report. Patients suffering from this disease have pre-cancer asbestos exposure, mesothelioma that the only known cause. Mesotheliomic patients often tell 6 - 12 months short of the survival period. However, the study doctors specialized in treating malignant mesothelioma of the leading cancer centers expect better survival rates. Though mesothelioma causes immense pain and suffering to the victims along with the expected short-lived, some treatments lead to the success of mesothelioma cancer tumor reduction and removal. Rado radiation or therapy is one of the mesothelioma treatment can be used on suffer from asbestos-related cancer (mesothelioma) of the patients.
Radiation or radio therapy:
Radiation or radiation therapy is a series of high-dose radiation, the use of the place of appearance (called external radiation therapy) or internal to the mesothelioma patients to be (called internal radiation therapy). It does this by X-rays or radioactive materials are aimed at the destruction of the body parts of cancer cells.
External radiation therapy:
The external radiation therapy, the radiation through the use of X-ray and cobalt in patients irradiated region of the body. Such radiation therapy is a relatively painless way, is divided into several meetings. Although it reduced tumor size, external radiation therapy can also damage normal cells. Therefore, the idea has its place at the meeting can be repaired in normal cells the natural loss of control.
Internal radiation therapy:
Internal than external radiation therapy is radiation therapy to provide a higher amount of radiation to a clinical practice in patients with mesothelioma. This is usually to the extreme stage of cancer in those patients. In terms of internal radiation therapy, a radioactive material is placed inside the patient's tumor or radioactive fluid is given by mouth or injected into a patient. Radioactive material and then flow in the body, help in the blood and destroy cancer cells.
Radiation therapy can be performed, with or without chemotherapy after surgery to prevent mesothelioma reproduction. Doctor may also provide limited radiation therapy to patients, according to the nature of cancer, location and stage. Some side effects during radiation therapy, small, and the end of the first therapy to reduce emission of patients were recorded. Consult a professional physician about the side effects of cancer and its treatment of the details, before receiving radiotherapy.
