Mesothelioma is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the world.
It's typically malignant (cancerous) in nature and affects people in their late
40s and older. Although this disease does not affect younger people, it still
presents problems with treatment, diagnosis and misinformation.
The word 'mesothelioma' has two roots. The first root 'meso' means 'of or
pertaining to the mesothelium'. The second root 'tole' means 'at or near the
place where the spinal cord exits the thorax'. These roots merge to form the
word 'mesothelioma'.
The term 'stem cells' comes from the asbestos particles, which are
responsible for the malignancy. Mesothelioma is a cancer with origins in the
mesothelium, which is a tissue that separates the abdominal cavity from the
chest cavity.
Mesothelioma derives its name from the myeloid-like cells found in the
mesothelium. These cells are the cause of the cancer.
In order to better understand mesothelioma, it is important to understand
the causes of cancer. The human body is constantly receiving abnormal cell
growth, which can result in cancer, if these cells continue to proliferate and
grow without proper cell division.
To provide a rudimentary understanding of cancer, it is necessary to
understand the formation of a cell. A cell is a nucleus (the core of the cell)
surrounded by a thin membrane. The cell receives energy and nutrients from its
environment and grows until it reaches a certain size.
When a cell undergoes a division process, it will divide in two and create
two cells. The cells are not complete, however, as they do not have any
structure. They're only partially formed, and without structure they can't
perform their normal functions. Thus, the cell will grow into a tumor, a piece
of junk that is not of any use to the body.
However, the tumor cannot function normally if it has no cell division.
When it is out of balance, it will continue to produce a variety of abnormal
cells and will cause cancer.
As we discussed above, abnormal cells are a direct result of cells that are
abnormal. Therefore, when the abnormal cells grow and continue to grow without
regulation, they will be the beginning of cancer.
To prevent the cancer from growing uncontrollably, there must be some kind
of balance. Unfortunately, the normal growth of cells in the body doesn't
provide a chance for cell division, and a tumor will grow until it forms into
cancer. Thus, the treatment for mesothelioma is to keep the body cells healthy
and to regulate the production of abnormal cells.
There are many ways to keep the immune system healthy. Regular exams are
important to watch for potential abnormalities within the body. When
abnormalities are discovered, it is then necessary to act quickly to correct
the issue.
When the immune system is disrupted, it is possible to build a tumor, which
can then cause cancer. To learn more about mesothelioma, it is helpful to talk
to a physician or someone who is knowledgeable about this disease.
