As we described in our previous article, may have been exposed to asbestos particles, if you were to build ships, together with the isolation and modification of old pads. There are many existing dangerous occupations, such as asbestos factory workers, mechanics, boiler workers, plumbers, drywall, electrical insulators, painters, hairdressers and even teachers. There may be many other professions occasional exposure to asbestos particles.
Asthe result of exposure to asbestos can be obtained asbestosis, but it is also possible to start developing mesothelioma - a deadly but rare cancer relativity O.
So, how doctors diagnose mesothelioma?
If your physician before he thinks about what the story is to ask professional mesothelioma. The fundamental importance is to capture asbestos cancer at an early stage of the disease is to go faster. The survival rate iseight to twelve months on average. However, collection and treatment of mesothelioma in some cancer centers leads to better results soon.
Doctors look for signs and symptoms of cancer. mesothelioma symptoms are often delayed up to 20 and more years after exposure to asbestos. But in rats, intra-pleural introduction of chrysotile asbestos fibers causes mesothelioma in several months.
People with mesothelioma complain about breathing difficulties in breathing, persistentCough, sputum and chest pain. The pain comes from the pleura - the irritation is very sensitive to the cavity. Pleural mesothelioma lung lining tends to cause an accumulation of fluid in.
peritoneal mesothelioma causes weight loss, pain and ascites (abdominal swelling due to fluid in the abdominal cavity). peritoneal mesothelioma can also block the intestines and cause all sorts of problems with bowel obstruction. How many types of cancer, asbestos cancer, so does the blood to clot, causingReduce blood cells (anemia), night sweats, fever e. Ascites can cause nausea and swelling of feet. The cancer spread to bring the pain, difficulty swallowing and swelling of the neck. This symptom occurs because the pressure of a few large veins would have the heart in the chest. In general, the symptoms of mesothelioma are not very specific. You can describe any type of cancer and many other non-cancer diseases. This problem delayed diagnosis. Sometimes patients thinkwho have viral pneumonia. Some patients have no symptoms. Mesothelioma in an advanced stage, and most causes of cancer fatigue.
An x-ray can show fluid build-up.
What is a pleural effusion? Pleural effusion, not the accumulation of fluid between the pleura on the inside of the chest wall and diaphragm and pleura of the lungs. What is the pleura? Pleura is the thin layer of special cells to the lung and chest wall. It has aIdea of a sealed plastic bag with some small amount of liquid inside. Basically, this bag allows you to easily scroll through the lung against the chest wall during the expansion of the breath. The membranes of the pleura composed of mesothelial cells. Exactly, these cells produce a small amount of lubricant. The amount of fluid is always in balance. Extra pleural fluid is rapidly absorbed. If there is too much liquid, it is the outpouring. abdominal peritoneum has similar food called covers the abdominalOrgans like the lung pleura covered. Liquid leads to build mesothelioma of the peritoneum by the cells of breast cancer or irritants. This disease causes the fluid in your abdomen or difficulty breathing.
Sweating is a pleural effusion of clear fluid. Usually the result of an imbalance of fluid production and removal. E 'characteristic for some other diseases. Doctors should first think of heart failure. Dear Mesothelioma Caseexudate. Pleural effusions are blended with many cells and proteins. The pleural effusion happened to be irritated and inflamed as was the case in mesothelioma To verify the nature of the payment were the doctors in possession of a needle and get the liquid sample. This stick is called thoracentesis diagnostics. The liquid will be reviewed in the laboratory. If the cause was mesothelioma, cancer cells can be found in the liquid
Because it developed out of breath? Dyspnea (shortness of breath)exactly happened, because too much fluid built up and press on the lungs and pushed him away form the chest wall and then to the lung smaller. The pain of inflamed pleura prevents the patient breathes deeply. Receptors in the inflamed pleura also cause a dry cough. Listening to the lungs revealed decreased breath sounds with a stethoscope. Tapping the chest sounds dull. All of this is the result of accumulation of fluid.
During the visit the doctor, you should have yourConcerns about exposure to asbestos in the past. Your doctor should check the area of pain and swelling, he must also listen to the sounds and breath control the accumulation of fluid. If your doctor to refer you suspect that he effusion send for tests and x-rays or a specialist.
If a doctor suspected mesothelioma, dose not many studies on the hands. Many of the usual tests do not show results in mesothelioma. Chest radiography is not always simple small pleuralPayment. Since the position of the film may be necessary for small effusions (the same x-ray, but the side view). Otherwise, CT scans or ultrasound may show the payment.
