Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive form of
cancer, which develops in the lungs, stomach or heart lining. Due to asbestos,
there is no known cure for mesothelioma and there is very poor forecast in it.
According to a report by the Center
Contains for Disease Control in 2017, 2,400 - 2,800 people diagnose
mesothelioma every year in the United States. Those who have worked with
asbestos or have contacted them are at high risk of developing mesothelioma,
after exposure to asbestos, symptoms of mesothelioma may take 20 to 50 years.
Life expectancy is bad for mesothelioma
patients because there is no cure for this disease. The condition of disease,
cell type and tumor location are the most important factors for the patient's
survival. The effects of overall health, age and cancer spreading factors also
affect the patients.
What are mesothelioma cancer?
Mesothelioma begins in mesothelium cells,
a group of cancerous (fatal) tumor cancer cells that can grow and destroy the
tissue tissue. It may also spread in other parts of the body (metastasis).
Mesothelium is a membrane that covers and
protects your internal organs. It is composed of 2 layers. The inner layer
wraps around different organs including the lungs, heart and stomach. The outer
layer creates a pouch around the internal layer, there is a small amount of
fluid between the 2 layers, so that the organ can be easily transferred.
There are different names of mesothelium,
depending on where in the body. Mesothelium which protects the lung and cures
it is called lung, the inner layer covering the lungs is called the intestinal
pulmonary form. The outer layer, which underlines the inside wall of the chest,
is called pyramidal puffery.
The mesothelium that covers the abdominal
organs and lines the walls of the abdomen and pelvis is called the peritoneum.
The inner layer is called the visceral peritoneum. It covers and supports most
of the internal abdominal organs. The outer layer is called the parietal
peritoneum. It lines the walls of the abdomen and pelvis.
he mesothelium is made up of mesothelial
cells. These cells sometimes change and no longer grow or behave normally.
These changes may lead to non-cancerous (benign) tumours, such as fibrous
tumour of the pleura and multicystic mesothelioma. But in some cases, changes
to the mesothelial cells can cause malignant mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is a very rare type of
cancer. It usually starts in the pleura, which is called pleural mesothelioma.
This type of cancer makes up 70% to 80% of all mesotheliomas. Cancer can also
start in the peritoneum, which is called peritoneal mesothelioma. This type of
cancer makes up about 25% of all mesotheliomas.
Rarer types of mesothelioma can also
develop. This includes pericardial mesothelioma, which starts in the membrane
that surrounds the heart. Another rare type is mesothelioma of the tunica
vaginalis testis, which starts in the outer lining of the testicle.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a cancerous tumor of
mesothelioma that can grow and destroy near the tissue. It can also spread in
other parts of the body (metastasis). Mesothelium is a lining that covers the
outer surface of most internal organs. It can be called a different name,
depending on which part it is covering.
Paval mesothelioma
The lung begins in the mesothelioma
membrane, which includes the lung, which is called the lung, is the most common
type of mesothelioma, more men than women are diagnosing lung Mesothelioma.
Peritoneal mesothelioma
Peritoneal mesothelioma begins in peritoneum,
which contains many organs in the stomach and several organs in the stomach.
This is the second most common type of mesothelioma, men and women are affected
equally from peritoneal mesothelioma.
Rare mesothelioma
The following cancerous tumors of
mesothelium are very rare.
Pericardial Mesothelioma begins around the
heart of the heart (Pericardium). The most common symptoms of pericardial
mesothelioma are heart problems due to the formation of tumors or fluid around
the heart. There is chest pain, chest pain, which becomes worse with deep
breathing or cough, problems in breathing, and feeling anxious or restless.
Another symptom is to cure, where the heart feels like it is fluttering, faster
or racing, treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
Pericardial Mesothelioma is a very bad prediction (predicted outcome)
Mesocylymosis of the tunica vaginalis
begins in the layer that involves the testicles (tunica vaginalin). The most
common symptom is pain and inflammation of testis and is the surgery to remove
testicles and ovaries and lymph nodes in the area. Radiation therapy can be
offered after surgery. The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of
mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis is not known as this disease is very rare.
Mesothelioma cell type
Mesothelioma can also be described by
tumor cell makeup, as seen on the bottom of a microscope there are 3 main cell
types of mesothelioma
Epithelioid is the most common
mesothelioma cell type, more favorable than other cell types of this type of
forecast.
Sacromatoid, also called fibers, is the
second most common mesothelioma cell type. This type of cell expands more
rapidly than epithelioid cells.
Mixed, or bilateral, there are both
epithelioid and circotide areas within the tumor. Tumors with more epithelioid
cells have better circomodite cells than tumors.
Benign mesothelioma
A non-cancerous or benign mesothelioma
mesothelioma develops, which does not spread in other parts of the body
(metastasis). Cordial mesothelioma tumors are usually threatening life. They
are usually removed from surgery and usually do not return (recursive) are some
kind of benign mesothelioma
Fungal fibroid tumors
This tumor can start in thin tissue
covering the lung (intestine size). It may also start in the thin tissue that
surrounds chest lines and lungs (parietal lungs). Fibrous fibroid tumors can cause
many symptoms of malignant mesothelioma symptoms, such as shortness of breath.
These types of tumors may occur after
surgery, in some cases, a local fibrous tumor of the lungs is actually
cancerous.
Multicastic mesothelioma
Multicultural mesothelioma makes many
benign cysts
Ulcer
A bag in the body that is usually full of
liquid or semi-solid material. On the thin layer of the inner stomach,
peritoneum is said to be called mesothelioma more commonly found in women, it
can be called benign cystic mesothelioma.
Adenomide mesothelioma
Such benign mesothelioma can start
mesothelium in reproductive organs. In women, it can start in fallopian tubes.
In men, it may start in the epididymis ducts, which carry sperm cells out of
the testicles.
Risk factors for mesothelioma
A risk factor is something that increases
the risk of developing cancer. It could be a behaviour, substance or condition.
Most cancers are the result of many risk factors. Exposure to asbestos is the most
important risk factor for mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma affects men much more often
than women. This is probably because men are more likely to be exposed to
asbestos at work.
Mesothelioma develops 15–40 years after
someone is exposed to asbestos. As a result, it is uncommon in people under the
age of 50 and the incidence of mesothelioma increases with age.
Risk factors are generally listed in order
from most to least important. But in most cases, it is impossible to rank them
with absolute certainty. Research shows that there is no link between smoking
and a higher risk for mesothelioma.
Known risk factors
There is convincing evidence that the
following factors increase your risk for mesothelioma.
Asbestos
Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals
that occur naturally. It can be separated into long, thin fibres that are very
fine. When someone breathes in these fibres, they can make their way to the
smallest airways of the lung and into the mesothelium. The fibres get into the
pleura, where they can eventually cause pleural mesothelioma. If they are
coughed up and then swallowed, asbestos fibres can also settle in the
peritoneum. This is the most likely cause of peritoneal mesothelioma.
The link between asbestos and mesothelioma
has been well known for many years. According to the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) and the US National Toxicology Program, all forms of
asbestos are known to cause cancer. Most people with mesothelioma have a
history of asbestos exposure.
Occupational exposure to asbestos is the
strongest and most common risk factor for mesothelioma. The risk is related to
how much asbestos you were exposed to and how long the exposure lasted. People
exposed at an early age, for a long period of time and to greater amounts of
asbestos are more likely to develop mesothelioma.
Asbestos has been widely used in building
materials and many industries. People who may come into contact with asbestos
while working include:
workers in asbestos mines or mills
construction workers, carpenters and
painters
shipyard workers
cement plant workers
insulation workers
electricians
plumbing and heating tradespeople
demolition workers
automotive industry workers, including
brake and clutch repair workers
people who work in buildings where
asbestos was present and was disturbed during renovations
People who live near an asbestos mine or
mill are also exposed to asbestos or asbestos dust in the air. Family members
may also be exposed to asbestos from fibres that are brought home on a worker’s
clothing.
Occasionally, mesothelioma develops in
people who have never been exposed to asbestos.
Erionite
Erionite is known to cause cancer in
people, and it is linked to pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma. It is a
naturally occurring mineral that belongs to a group of minerals called
zeolites. Zeolites are chemically related to asbestos and erionite has
asbestos-like fibres.
Erionite is common in the soil in parts of
Turkey. Materials made with erionite are used in construction in these regions.
As a result, there are high rates of mesothelioma in these areas due to
exposure to erionite.
Ionizing radiation
People given radiation therapy to the
chest or abdomen to treat lymphoma, breast, lung or other types of cancer have
a higher risk for mesothelioma.
Thorium dioxide (Thorotrast) is a
radioactive contrast medium
contrast medium
A substance used in some diagnostic
procedures to help parts of the body show up better on x-rays or other imaging
tests. that was once used for imaging tests. People who were given thorium
dioxide have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma many years after being
exposed to it. Because it was found to increase the risk of some cancers,
thorium dioxide is no longer used.
BAP1 gene mutation
The BAP1 gene is also called the BRCA1
associated protein 1 gene. It is a type of gene that helps control cell growth
and may limit the growth of cancer cells (called a tumour suppressor gene). A
rare mutation in the BAP1 gene may increase the risk for mesothelioma and
melanoma of the skin and eye. Healthcare professionals may refer to people who
have the BAP1 gene mutation as having BAP1 cancer syndrome.
People who are exposed to asbestos and
have the BAP1 gene mutation are at an even higher risk of developing
mesothelioma.
Unknown risk factors
It isn’t known whether or not the
following risk factors are linked with mesothelioma. It may be that researchers
can’t show a definite link or that studies have had different results. More
research is needed to see if these are risk factors for mesothelioma:
simian virus 40 (SV40)
carbon nanoparticles
