Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. There are less than one in every
four thousand cases of mesothelioma. In the United States, the number of cases
is quite high, about thirty percent. It can be very debilitating, both
physically and mentally.
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that results from abnormal growth of
mesothelial cells, which are found inside the lining of the lungs and abdominal
cavity. It is often caused by asbestos exposure. These fibers are non-porous
and are used in many building materials. This exposure is usually only
temporary, although some cases may be a result of long term exposure. If you
have been exposed to asbestos, then there is a greater chance that you will
develop mesothelioma.
There are three different forms of mesothelioma. The first is pleural
mesothelioma, which is caused by constant exposure to asbestos fibers. The
second is peritoneal mesothelioma, which are the most common form of
mesothelioma, and occurs when the lining of the abdominal cavity is impacted by
asbestos fibers.
The third and most dangerous kind of mesothelioma is amianto e
mesothelioma. A variant of amianto e mesothelioma amianto e mesothelioma occurs
in the abdominal cavity, and is the most dangerous form of the disease. It is
more common in men and is most common in the lower abdominal cavity.
Amianto e mesothelioma is caused by the failure of the lining of the
abdominal cavity to completely fill with blood. Because of this lack of oxygen,
cells will not die off, and they will continue to grow, until there is nothing
left but cancer. If the disease is left untreated, then it can spread
throughout the body.
Because this is a serious case, it is best to get medical treatment
immediately. If you are diagnosed with amianto e mesothelioma, your doctor will
probably recommend surgery, or chemotherapy.
There are several different kinds of chemotherapy for amianto e
mesothelioma. It is best to discuss the kind of chemotherapy that is
recommended for you with your doctor. Here are some facts about mesothelioma
chemotherapy.
Mesothelioma chemotherapy usually involves giving a patient different forms
of radiation therapy. One kind of radiation therapy is called the beta emitter.
The use of beta emitter in mesothelioma is not new, but this type has been
found to be particularly effective.
The main use of the beta emitter is to kill cells that produce chemicals
called adhesion molecules. These chemicals are a defense mechanism against
other cells. Because the immune system fails in mesothelioma cancer, the
chemicals become attached to the tumor, allowing doctors to remove them.
Cancerous cells also become confused and cannot properly coordinate their
activity.
Another type of mesothelioma chemotherapy is a beta emitter called a Br.
Br. This drug works by creating a chemical called Br. Br. is similar to beta
emitter, but the drugs are injected directly into the cancerous cells, and the
drugs attach to the chemicals that the cancer cells produce.
The drugs that are given are called cholinesterase inhibitors. These drugs
keep the blood flowing freely, which helps to prevent the cancer cells from
spreading. A type of mesothelioma chemotherapy is an agent called doxorubicin.
This drug is given to a patient who is in the late stages of the disease.
This drug is used to reduce the tumor size. A highly aggressive type of
mesothelioma chemotherapy is called BRAF inhibitors. This type of chemotherapy
kills the cancer cells by making them unable to bind to a cancer drug.
