Overview Of PDQ CancerMail from the National Cancer Institute Information from PDQ for Patients DESCRIPTION What is malignant mesothelioma? Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura) or abdomen (the peritoneum). Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed asbestos. A doctor should be seen if a person has shortness of breath, pain in the chest, or pain or swelling in the abdomen. If there are symptoms, the doctor may order an x-ray of the chest or abdomen. The doctor may look inside the chest cavity with a special instrument called a thoracoscope. A cut will be made through the chest wall and the thoracoscope will be put into the chest between two ribs. This test, called thoracoscopy, is usually done in the hospital. Before the test, the patient will be given a local anesthetic (a drug that causes a loss of feeling for a short period of time). Some pressure may be felt, but usually there is no pain. The doctor may also look inside the abdomen (peritoneoscopy) with a special tool called a peritoneoscope. The peritoneoscope is put into an opening made in the abdomen. This test is also usually done in the hospital. Before the test is done, a local anesthetic will be given.

Additional Legal Topics Mesothelioma Navigation: Home Asbestos Law Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer of the cells that make up the lining around the outside of the lungs and inside of the ribs (pleura), or around the abdominal organs (peritoneum). There are also rare instances of malignant mesotheliomas in other areas of the body. Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the sac lining the chest, the lining of the abdominal cavity, or the lining around the heart. Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon cancer that is difficult to diagnose and poorly responsive to therapy. Malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all asbestos-related diseases. Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the cells that make up the pleura or lining around the outside of the lungs and inside of the ribs. The only known cause of mesothelioma is previous exposure to asbestos fibers, including chrysotile, amosite or crocidolite. This exposure is likely to have happened twenty or more years before the mesothelioma becomes evident, since it takes many years for the disease to "incubate." It is the most common type of mesothelioma, accounting for about 75% of all cases. Peritoneal Mesothelioma

PDQ is a computer system that gives up-to-date information on cancer and its prevention, detection, treatment, and supportive care. It is a service of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for people with cancer and their families and for doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals. To ensure that it remains current, the information in PDQ is reviewed and updated each month by experts in the fields of cancer treatment, prevention, screening, and supportive care. PDQ also provides information about research on new treatments (clinical trials), doctors who treat cancer, and hospitals with cancer programs. The treatment information in this summary is based on information in the PDQ summary for health professionals on this cancer. How to use PDQ PDQ can be used to learn more about current treatment of different kinds of cancer. You may find it helpful to discuss this information with your doctor, who knows you and has the facts about your disease. PDQ can also provide the names of additional health care professionals who specialize in treating patients with cancer. Before you start treatment, you also may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. PDQ can be used to learn more about these trials. A clinical trial is a research study that attempts to improve current treatments or finds information on new treatments for patients with cancer. Clinical trials are based on past studies and information discovered in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help patients with cancer. Information is collected about new treatments, their risks, and how well they do or do not work. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the treatment currently used as "standard" treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Listings of current clinical trials are available on PDQ. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are listed in PDQ.

Mesothelioma Information Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. What is the mesothelium? The mesothelium is a membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. It is composed of two layers of cells: One layer immediately surrounds the organ; the other forms a sac around it. The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the beating heart and the expanding and contracting lungs) to glide easily against adjacent structures. The mesothelium has different names, depending on its location in the body. The peritoneum is the mesothelial tissue that covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity. The pleura is the membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the wall of the chest cavity. The pericardium covers and protects the heart. The mesothelial tissue surrounding the male internal reproductive organs is called the tunica vaginalis testis. The tunica serosa uteri covers the internal reproductive organs in women.

Mesothelioma Treatment How is mesothelioma treated? Treatment for mesothelioma depends on the location of the cancer, the stage of the disease, and the patient's age and general health. Standard treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Sometimes, these treatments are combined. Surgery is a common treatment for mesothelioma. The doctor may remove part of the lining of the chest or abdomen and some of the tissue around it. For cancer of the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), a lung may be removed in an operation called a pneumonectomy. Sometimes part of the diaphragm, the muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing, is also removed. Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, involves the use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy affects the cancer cells only in the treated area. The radiation may come from a machine (external radiation) or from putting materials that produce radiation through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy). Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Most drugs used to treat mesothelioma are given by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV). Doctors are also studying the effectiveness of putting chemotherapy directly into the chest or abdomen (intracavitary chemotherapy). To relieve symptoms and control pain, the doctor may use a needle or a thin tube to drain fluid that has built up in the chest or abdomen. The procedure for removing fluid from the chest is called thoracentesis. Removal of fluid from the abdomen is called paracentesis. Drugs may be given through a tube in the chest to prevent more fluid from accumulating. Radiation therapy and surgery may also be helpful in relieving symptoms.

Reglan Lawsuit Serzone Recall Cypher Stent Taxus Stent ... Mesothelioma Asbestos Lawsuits and Mesothelioma Lawyers From the turn of the century through the 1970s, asbestos was widely used in the United States as an insulation and fireproofing material. Each year, workers applied hundreds of thousands of tons of asbestos in a variety of jobs. Those who worked with and around these workers were also exposed to asbestos dust. Most workers did not wear respirators or other protective equipment because they were not warned that asbestos was deadly. As a result, there has been a steady increase in asbestos-related disease among workers in trades such as: Insulating Pipefitting Boilermaking Shipbuilding and repair Utilities and power plants Chemical plants and refineries Construction Railroad engine repair Carpenters Brake workers Several serious diseases can result from asbestos exposure: mesothelioma asbestosis lung cancer other cancers such as laryngeal and colon cancer If you have ever worked with asbestos or products that contain asbestos, you are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma, asbestosis, or some illness as a result of that exposure. In addition, family members of some exposed workers have developed asbestos diseases simply through their day-to-day contact with the worker. In general, the longer you work with asbestos, the greater your risk of developing an asbestos-related disease, including mesothelioma. While not everyone exposed to asbestos will develop health problems, the risk increases with the amount of exposure.

Radio National with Norman Swan Mesothelioma Monday 7 September 1998 Summary: Research indicates that Mesothelioma, a form of cancer arising on the cells lining the chest and abdominal cavities, is becoming a more wide-spread problem than initially considered. According to statistics from the Asbestos Diseases Research Centre at the University of Western Australia, more people are dying of a cancer called mesothelioma than of cervical cancer. In addition, the numbers are going up year by year and a growing proportion of the new diagnoses are in people with no known exposure to asbestos, the carcinogen people have assumed to be mesothelioma's cause. It's reason for concern and, says University of Western Australia researcher Dr Bill Musk, points to the problems which can arise if we ignore occupational diseases. Bill Musk is a respiratory physician who has studied occupational lung diseases for many years, especially among former workers of Wittenoom asbestos mine. Bill Musk: Mesothelioma is a form of malignancy that arises from the cells which line the chest wall or the abdominal cavity, or cover the lung and cover the bowel in the abdominal cavity. Norman Swan: Now why is the rate of notification going up, why are we getting increasing rise of cases when we seem to have whipped asbestos out of most of the situations we come across in life?

Home Mesothelioma Lawyers Asbestos Removal Site Map Information about Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma The American Cancer Society has created a list suggested for those with mesothelioma to ask their doctor. The questions include: What type of mesothelioma do I have? What is the stage of my mesothelioma (i.e. how advanced is it)? Has the mesothelioma spread beyond its original site? What treatment options do I have? Which of these options do you recommend, and why? What is my prognosis? What risks or side effects are there to the treatments you suggest? What are the chances that my cancer will recur with these mesothelioma treatment plans? What should I do to be ready for mesothelioma treatment? What is Mesothelioma? Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that attacks cells, called mesothelial cells, which make up membrane lining in the chest and abdominal cavity.

Mesothelioma is a malignant tumour of the lining of the lung (pleura) or abdomen (peritoneum). The abdominal form is less common. The disease is significantly related to exposure to asbestos, especially the blue and brown varieties. However in some 10-15% of cases there is not such history of exposure. Those at risk are miners, manufacturers of asbestos, builders and demolition workers and even residents in the neighbourhood of blue asbestos working. While the exposure time may have been only minimal there is no safe threshold of dose below which there is no risk of asbestos related disease. The onset of the disease is delayed, often by some 20 to 50 years. It affects men and women but the 'attack rate' of the tumour in the exposed population is only about 5%. Symptoms The lung variety of tumour is more common. Symptoms begin with a gradual onset of breathlessness, particularly noticeable on effort, and due to the growth of tumour and fluid compressing the lung. There may occur pain on one side of the chest, with tenderness, cough and fever. More obvious is a rapid loss of weight and weakness. A chest X-ray reveals an opacity on one side of the chest suggestive of a tumour. The symptoms of the abdominal form also develop slowly, beginning with swelling, loss of weight, impaired appetite and weakness. Death usually follows within two years of making the diagnosis.
