Mesothelioma is another disease that can cause death evil, this disease is very dangerous and occurs when someone works with asbestos materials. These materials were processed with the help of businesses in the past. Most cases registered in the United States who are diagnosed as victims of mesothelioma have been produced in the manufacturing companies that are building products like cement. Tumors of pleural mesothelioma "the name of development" in the pleura in the thoracic cavity. Pleura, the outer wall of the lungs. Once the exposure to asbestos, symptoms of mesothelioma can take 30 to 50 years.
The treatment options that may be available to treat pleural mesothelioma, a combination of surgical options, chemotherapy and radiotherapy option option. There are many other options such as alternative medicine, which can also be effective. In May the surgical option to remove certain parts of the doctors involved in the areas of the chest cavity, he can not for the test will then be able to remove the first tumor and the tissue surrounding the tumor to ensure that any chance for malignant tumors to be redeveloped. In Option chemical called chemotherapy option "because we are dealing with a special chemical to cancer cells and tumors. It can be effective with some cases and it can be effective with other cases. The doctors can not mix with two options. In the X-ray radiation, and we can use gamma rays to kill infected cells, it could be effective in some cases. Please consult your doctor.

What are the risk factors for mesothelioma?
Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in about 70 per cent to 80 per cent of all cases. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals that occur naturally as masses of strong, flexible fibers that can be separated and woven son purposes. Asbestos was widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, products flooring, textiles, and insulation. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air, especially during the manufacturing process, they may be inhaled or swallowed and can cause serious health problems. In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung) and other cancers, such as the larynx and kidney.
Smoking does not appear to increase the risk of mesothelioma. However, the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure significantly increases a person's risk of developing cancer of the pathways of air into the lungs.

Peritoneal mesothelioma
The wall of the abdomen is known as the peritoneum. It also has two layers: the inner (visceral) layer that is adjacent to the abdominal organs and the outer (parietal) layer, which lines the abdominal wall.
When mesothelioma in the abdominal cavity, it is called peritoneal mesothelioma and causes thickening of the membranes around the abdominal organs and an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. The accumulation of fluid is called ascites and causes swelling of the abdomen.

Pleural mesothelioma
The pleura consists of two layers: the inner (visceral) layer, which is next in the lungs and the outer (parietal) layer that lines the chest wall. The two layers of the pleura are usually in contact and push each other as we breathe. The membranes produce fluid, where they can slide over each other easily.
Where is developing mesothelioma of the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), the delicate membranes thicken and may press inwards on the lung. Fluid can also between two layers of the pleura, collect: This is called a pleural effusion.

Mesothelioma information
Here is the fact about Mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a membrane thinner than the thorax and abdomen and surrounds the organs of the lines in these areas. The lining around the lungs in the chest and abdomen is known as the peritoneum.
More than 2,000 people in Britain diagnosed with mesothelioma every year.
Mesothelioma of the lining of the lungs, called pleural mesothelioma, which is much more common than mesothelioma in the abdomen. For every man of peritoneal mesothelioma, is about 12 people who have pleural mesothelioma.
