Almost all Mesothelioma cases related to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. There are about 3000 cases per year (mostly men over 40) and there will be about 300,000 cases before 2030. This disease is usually spread rapidly through the mesothelial cells to the heart and abdominal organs. Lifespan is usually 24 months after diagnosis, but it depends on what stage the cancer is detected, the health of the patient and other factors.
Although exposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma, it has a latency period after exposure of the last 15 to 50 years. This means that someone who works with asbestos in the factory 40 years ago is now the development of the disease. Everyone knows that their hit loose asbestos fibers should be tested periodically.
Mesothelioma is a very deadly disease. Average life span of one year from the date of diagnosis. Approximately 20% of patients that cancer early and aggressive action that will provide the five year mark.
If you have Mesothelioma, you are probably asbestos. Many asbestos manufacturers and distributors knew for decades that asbestos was dangerous, but to business decisions not to warn of the danger. As a result, may have rights against the recovery of production, which can help cover the costs of treatment and compensation for pain and suffering.
Gross appearance
In the early phase, very few mesotheliomas appear as small nodules in the parietal or depth pleura.With time, and can grow nodules coalesce to large plaques where the two layers of the pleura, Encas the lungs and pleural erasure space.In final stage of the disease may have involvement of the chest wall, mediastinum and diaphragm. Tumor itself is usually firm and white tumor yellow.Rarely does penetrate the lung parenchyma to a depth of more than 1 cm.
Microscopic characteristics
Mesotheliomas show different histological features.The malignant epithelial or mesenchymal cells can be displayed, or the characteristics of the differences between the (biphasic). Cell architecture and features in May ranged from good to good anaplastic.The tumors can be detected by their light microscopic appearance, while more poorly differentiated tumors forces immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies to their histological identity. Mesotheliomas also separated into four categories: epithelial (50% ), sarcomatous (15-20%), biphasic (15-20%) and poorly differentiated or undifferentiated (15-20%).
