Mesothelioma
(or, more precisely, malignant mesothelioma) is a rare form of
cancer that develops from transformed cells originating in the
mesothelium, the protective lining that covers many of the
internal organs of the body. It is usually caused by exposure
to asbestos.
Wikipedia.org
Symptoms or signs of mesothelioma may not appear until 20
to 50 years (or more) after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of
breath, cough, and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of
fluid in the pleural space (pleural effusion) are often
symptoms of pleural mesothelioma.
Wikipedia.org Treatment: The prognosis for malignant mesothelioma remains disappointing, although there have been some modest improvements in prognosis from newer chemotherapies and multimodality treatments. Treatment of malignant mesothelioma at earlier stages has a better prognosis, but cures are exceedingly rare. Wikipedia.org |
