Mesothelioma develops from a tissue covering a surface of a thoracal, abdominal or warm cavity. The most part mesothelioma arises in a thoracal cavity and wear the name mesothelioma pleurae. The tumour develops in 10-20 % of cases in an abdominal cavity - mesothelioma peritoneums. Mesothelioma a pericardium meet very seldom.
The reasons of origin malignant mesothelioma
Contact to asbestos is a major factor of risk of development mesothelioma. The risk of development mesothelioma depends on intensity and duration of contact to asbestos. Long contact at young age considerably raises risk of origin mesothelioma. Smoking in itself does not influence augmentation of frequency of development mesothelioma, however the combination of smoking and contact to asbestos considerably raises risk of development of a cancer of a lung.
Symptoms malignant mesothelioma
The tumour long time can proceed asymptomatically and consequently is quite often taped in late stages that negatively influences the illness forecast. The average survival rate of patients is usual constitutes only 1-2 years.
Early symptoms mesothelioma are not specific. They are quite often ignored by patients or are accepted to implications of usual not tumoral diseases. At the majority of patients mesothelioma symptoms appear 2-3 months prior to tumour revealing.
At a series of patients symptoms can remain within 6 and more months. 50 % of patients mesothelioma pleurae note pains in the bottom of a thorax on a lateral or back surface. Many patients complain of a dyspnea. In certain cases there is a difficulty of swallowing, tussis, a sweating, delicacy, growing thin and rise in temperature. Almost the pleuritis - is found out in all a liquid in a pleural cavity.
From other symptoms it is possible to specify on osiply voices, a pneumorrhagia, a face edema and the top extremities.
At patients mesothelioms peritoneums the abdominal pain, a nausea, vomiting, growing thin is possible. Some patients can have a liquid in a stomach (ascites) and-or a tumour.
Treatment malignant mesothelioma
Surgical treatment mesothelioma. Operation can be executed as with palliative, and the medical purpose. By palliative operation mean a surgical intervention, with which help it is possible to eliminate or reduce a pain or the discomfort caused by growth of a tumour - pleura excision, a thoracocentesis (excision of a liquid from a pleural cavity), etc. Such operations are applied at impossibility of an oncotomy because of prevalence of process or a grave condition of the patient. At patients in the satisfactory condition, having the localised tumour, carry out radical operation, i.e. complete excision mesothelioma.
Radial therapy mesothelioma. The external irradiation is used at patients mesothelioma most often. At an internal irradiation the radioactive material is brought immediately to a tumour. This kind of radial therapy is applied as the basic method of treatment at patients in a grave condition when they cannot transfer serious operation. Auxiliary radial therapy is prescribed after not radical operations for destruction of the remained tumoral cells.
The palliative irradiation is applied to alleviating of the symptoms caused by growth of a tumour: a dyspnea, a pain, a bleeding and difficulty of swallowing.
Chemotherapy mesothelioma. At treatment of patients malignant mesothelioma chemical preparations can be entered not only intravenously, but also into an abdominal cavity.
Depending on a stage of a tumour the chemotherapy can be as the basic, and an auxiliary method of treatment. And the chemotherapy is used only as the palliative agent giving only temporary effect.
From antitumoral preparations apply: Doxorubicinum, Cisplatinum, Methotrexatum, vinorelbinum, etc. in various combinations.
