Introduction To Mesothelioma Cancer:-
Mesothelioma, cancer of mesothelial cells which cover the outside of most of our internal body organs. It forms a lining which is sometimes known as the mesothelium.
Mesothelioma cancer can develop in the tissues covering the lungs or abdomen.Mesothelioma is a cancer that is found in those people that have had exposure to abestos.Abestos floats throught the air and finds it victims from their.Mesothelioma is caused when these airborne particles are taken by simple breathing.Then they get trapped inside the thin lining that is inside the lungs which cause Mesothelioma.According to statistics there are minimum of 2,500 people who are diagnosed with this deadly cancer known as Mesothelioma.Due to much spreading of Mesothelioma asbestos has been banned but there is a still a severe risk today.In some cases, it has been noted that Mesothelioma can be stagnant for uo to 45 - 50 years before we know its effects.It was noticed that mesothelioma patients were most of those who works in construction companines, doing brake work to elevator and even in power plants and shipyards.Mesothelioma is a serious issue for those who are working in industries.Among all of the groups suffering from Mesothelioma disease probably work in construction business and remodel old buildings thar are contiminated with asbestos.Mesothelioma cancer can develop in the tissues covering the lungs or abdomen.
Background Of Mesothelioma Cancer:-
The tissues covering the lungs are known as the pleura, of which there are two. Sometimes called pleural membranes, the gap between them is called the pleural space. The pleura are fibrous sheets and they help to protect the lungs, producing a lubricating fluid that fills the gap between the two pleura. This helps the lungs to move smoothly in the chest when we breathe.
Mesothelioma is most commonly diagnosed in the pleura and is known as pleural mesothelioma. As it is so close, pleural mesothelioma can also affect the sheet of tissue covering the heart - the pericardium. Doctors refer to the pericardium as the lining, even though it is on the outside of the heart. It helps to protect and allow the heart to move smoothly within the sac that surrounds it. Basically, it does much the same job for the heart as the pleura do for the lungs.
The mesothelioma is the tissue lining the abdomen is known as the peritoneum, and helps to protect the abdomen.mesothelioma also produces a lubricating fluid to help the organs to move smoothly inside the abdomen as we move around.
Mesothelioma of the tissues lining the abdominal cavity so referred to as peritoneal mesothelioma, and is much less common than pleural mesothelioma.
It is not usual for mesothelioma to spread to other parts of the body.Mesothelioma does not usually cause troublesome symptoms if it does.
There is also a form of non cancerous (benign) mesothelioma which can develop within the lining of the lungs, or in the lining of the reproductive organs. This can occur in either men or women but these non cancerous tumours are very rare.
