There are three types of mesothelioma cancer. This is called a pleural effusion, if the lung disease, affects the abdominal peritoneal effusion and pericardial, if effects on the heart. About 75% of cases of pleural mesothelioma and 20% are peritoneal or pericardial effusion. There are also some other rare types of mesothelioma, the remaining 5%. All these statistics are poorly documented. There are many cases that are undiagnosed or unreported in the world:

Pleural mesothelioma:
Among the various types of cancer, mesothelioma occupy only a small percentage. However, among the various types of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma makes about three to four cases documented. In the fluid between the chest and the mesothelium lining is constructed.

Peritoneal mesothelioma:
Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a rare disease. Approximately 10-20% of documented cases of peritoneal mesothelioma diagnosed with mesothelioma. Types of mesothelioma affects the stomach of the patient. Abdominal mesothelial cells do not function properly in this sickness. The disease is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers through the mouth.

Pericardial Mesothelioma:

The rarest of mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma, mesothelial layer that affects the liver. The main symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma are chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, heart palpitations, fatigue and cough. Like all types of mesothelioma, there is no cure for this species doctors nothing I can do is pain and discomfort symptoms and help patients reduce comfortable and quiet death.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a rare disease. Approximately 10-20% of documented cases of peritoneal mesothelioma diagnosed with mesothelioma. Types of mesothelioma affects the stomach of the patient. Abdominal mesothelial cells do not function properly in this sickness. The disease is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers through the mouth. The fibers travel through the digestive tract and parts of the digestive system processed. The layer of the mesothelium in rapidly dividing cells and lasts longer.

This leads to stomach cancer and also other parts of the body. To resolve the most important symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, fever, chest pain, weight loss and problems. The majority of movement or constipation, bloating and abdominal tissue sections are the classic signs of peritoneal mesothelioma. The disease is under various forms by using X-ray scanners, diagnosed by MRI, PET, laparoscopy, laparotomy, thoracotomy, and so on. The main risk factors for this disease is exposure to asbestos fibers and asbestos dust.

However, the following factors also increase the risk of this disease:
* A family history of risk factors for children with cancer.
* A smoker, the increased risk of contracting the disease than non-smokers, which seems to have the same level and amount of exposure to asbestos fibers.
* The zeolite is a mineral that is very similar to asbestos from properties and it seems as dangerous as asbestos.
* Thorium dioxide is used in X-rays and a trigger for cancer.

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that can affect the mesothelial cells of the outer membranes of some internal organs of the body. The types of mesothelioma cancer can be classified according to tumor position. When the tumor can be detected in the pleural, “most of the outer membrane of the lungs, called pleural mesothelioma. When the tumor can be detected in the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal organs, which is called peritoneal mesothelioma.

What is Mesothelioma

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

what is mesotheliomaThe mesothelioma or mesothelioma, also known as “Malignant mesothelioma” or “Cancer mesothelioma, is a rare form of cancer that develops in a protective membrane that covers many of the internal organs of the body, or mesothelium mesothelium. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos or asbestos.

Its most common site is the pleura (the outer sheath of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the sheath of the abdominal cavity), the heart or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart .) If this occurs in the pleura is called “Malignant pleural mesothelioma,” and if it occurs in the peritoneum, then it is called “peritoneal mesothelioma.”

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Peritoneal mesothelioma attacks the peritoneum, a tissue in the abdomen. This type of mesothelioma accounts for 10%, or up to 20% of all mesothelioma cases. It is different from the most common form of mesothelioma, which attacks the pleura, a garrison of tissue in the chest. The symptoms are different, and prognosis is also different. However, as with all types of mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma is often attributed to exposure to asbestos, the mineral carcinogen used widely in the years before stringent regulations were imposed in the 80s.

Case of Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Between 100 and 500 cases of peritoneal mesothelioma are diagnosed each year in the United States. Almost all individuals who are diagnosed with this cancer have a history of exposure to asbestos. In many cases, pleural mesothelioma (chest) may extend into the peritoneal cavity, but this still would be a diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma (which has metastasized), is not considered a case of peritoneal mesothelioma that begins in the peritoneum.

Kinds of Mesothelioma

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

There are 5 types of mesothelioma, of which only one is benign, among them we find:

Benign Mesothelioma:
The benign form of mesothelioma is commonly develops in the pleura. This is the only form of mesothelioma which healing and recovery is favorable.

Testicular Mesothelioma:
This is the rarest type of malignant mesothelioma, to date, there have been fewer than 100 reported cases. Testicular mesothelioma develops in the tunica vaginalis of the testes.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma:
This is one that develops in the tissue of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneal membrane. Approximately 30% of mesotheliomas are present in patients of this type.

Pericardium Mesothelioma:
This type of mesothelioma develops in the heart tissue, known as the pericardium.

Pleural Mesothelioma:
This type of mesothelioma develops in the tissue of the lungs, known as the pleura. It is the most common form of malignant mesothelioma, about 80 percent of cases are pleural in origin.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma Information

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Peritoneal Mesothelioma</li> <p>

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a type of mesothelioma affects the peritoneal region of the body. The membrane abdominal mesothelium is called the peritoneum. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a very small number of all cases of mesothelioma about 30%. We think that patients suffering from this form of mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos at some point in the past.

The exposure period required for the necessary peritoneal mesothelioma to develop is unknown. Common symptoms include swelling in the region of the abdomen, abdominal pain, weight loss, lumps in the region of the abdomen, anemia and obstruction of small and or large intestine. Peritoneal mesothelioma patients are generally considered beyond cure.
