Mesothelioma is a primary tumor of the pleura. There are two main types.1]} {type of benign and malignant localized mesothelioma2 diffuse malignant mesothelioma
Cause Strong correlation between exposure to asbestos and developing mesothelioma, despite the history of exposure to the patient can not get mesothelioma always be there. There are two types of asbestos fibers on the crystal structure, serpentine and amphibole series beryl {B}. Tremolte included in the amphiboles amosite, crocidolite, and the light is Anne-Sophie. The most dangerous is best known as blue asbestos or crocidolite.

Diffuse malignant mesotheliomaThis type of mesothelioma, often into the peritoneal cavity, the ribs and chest wall, can be derived from the {} part of peritoneal mesothelioma pericardial mesothelioma. Also, generally glands, liver, brain and adrenal gland metastasis. Histologically malignant mesothelioma papillary epithelial component has an {} {} and mesothelioma two fibrosarcoma.

Treatment not discouraging ineffective treatment and the median survival rarely more than two years 14 months 10. Step 1 - In selected cases with radical pneumonectomy Sugery is effective, long-term survival may be rare. You can also use primary radiotherapy. Has also been used in combination chemotherapy protocols with either monotherapy or in combination, the results are still dismal.
