Mesothelioma is a type of cancer, occurs in the linings of organs. It usually affects the lungs (pleura) but can also affect the abdominal lining (peritoneum), heart or testicles.

Exposure to asbestos fibres is the main cause mesothelioma. Typically, symptoms don't appear until decades after exposure.

Signs and symptoms

Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is found in the linings of certain organs. It usually begins in the layers of tissue that line every lung (pleura) but it can also start in the tummy's lining (peritoneum) or, less frequently in the membrane surrounding the heart (pericardium).

A chest X-ray utilizes electromagnetic radiation to create a picture of the lungs. This will show any fluid buildup on the lung's one side and calcium deposits, which can occur when the pleura is scarred.

The doctor can also request a CT scan to get an image that is more precise of the lungs and stomach. This will enable the doctor to determine if the mesothelioma is localized within the lungs or has spread beyond the lungs.

In some instances, a biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. During this procedure, the surgeon will cut an incision in the thoracic area or abdominal cavity and remove small pieces of tissue to be used for examination in a laboratory.

The results of these tests will determine whether or not a mesothelioma is present and the stage of the disease.

The goal of mesothelioma treatments is to stop the cancer and improve the quality of life of the patient.

Treatment

Mesothelioma is a cancerous disease that affects the thin protective layer around many organs of the body, including the lungs is caused by asbestos exposure. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, a class of minerals made up of microscopic fibers that were once widely used in the construction industry. Symptoms typically appear after a period of time following exposure. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. The average life expectancy following diagnosis is 12 to 21 months.

These tests can assist doctors in determining the location and spread of the cancer.

There are four distinct types of mesothelioma and the type of mesothelioma a patient has affects their outlook. The most frequent type is pleural mesothelioma, which forms in the lining of the lungs. The three other kinds are peritoneal mesothelioma testicular mesothelioma, and pericardial meso.

People who have been diagnosed in the final stages of mesothelioma face a more challenging challenge.

The cancer cells can spread out of control and then expand to other parts of the body.

Mesothelioma is categorized into three types according to the type of mesothelial cells in the tumor. Epithelioid Mesothelioma is the most favorable outlook and is the most prevalent. It is slower-growing than other types of mesothelioma. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary is the most rare and fastest-growing form of mesothelioma.
