A rare form of cancer is mesothelioma, a
malignant tumor in the lung tissue mesothelial
and abdomen, resulting from the inhalation of asbestos.
Its rarity is one reason why many people are
does not know what type of the deadly disease. Indeed, many
People die of mesothelioma diagnosed. While there
With increasing awareness of the dangers of asbestos
Health, many have not yet done so and mesothelioma

Treatment. Similarly, some doctors find it difficult to detect
Mesothelioma, because their symptoms are similar to others
Lung cancer and diseases like pneumonia. Furthermore
takes decades for a patient, have been exposed to asbestos was, for

As he did not known increased risk of mesothelioma, as they

Treatment must know that the different stages of cancer or
the extent of the disease. Opportunities for restoration of
Mesothelioma and type of treatment depends on the stage
of the disease. In principle, there are two test systems
mesothelioma of the pleura (lung): TNM system and
Brighan system. These test systems are also
other types of cancer, but the first is usually
used. There is no established method for determining the
Mesothelioma phase of the peritoneal cavity cancer (abdominal), it
TNM system is used.

There are three variables in the TNM system: tumor, lymph
And metastatic nodes. In the earliest stage of the
Mesothelioma, level I, the cells of malignant mesothelioma
begin to grow and we only a layer of the pleura.
The pleura is the membrane surrounding the lungs and
Lines the wall of the chest. There are, however,
some cases, at the pericardium (membrane that
covers the heart) and diaphragm coverage are already
concerned. In this case, cancer, the patient is still in
Level I mesothelioma.

In the second phase, two layers of the pleura are
already have the disease. Note that
at this stage that one side of the body is concerned.
Normally the pleura produces only a small amount of
liquid lubricant, enables the development and simple

mesothelioma of the second stage, the liquid begins implementation

the volume of liquid product causes shortness of breath
and pain in the chest. Other patients suffering from mesothelioma cancer

Pleural effusion is due to a chest-x-ray.

Level III mesothelioma means that malignant cells have

Stage III, heart and chest wall are already affected;

final stage, Phase IV of mesothelioma, cancer cells have
