What About Peritoneal Mesothelioma and Symptoms

by Dillon Randall

Although peritoneal mesothelioma is not the most common form of this disease, it is a very aggressive form of cancer. It is formed when asbestos fibers or foreign chemical substances are trapped in the space between the lining of the abdomen. As the cancer progresses there are more complications involved.

However, treatment options are best when the patient responds well to the treatment. Studies have shown that of all mesothelioma cases only twenty percent are peritoneal which is relatively low in this already rare form of cancer. There is no definite source to the cause of the mesothelioma but it is believed to be caused by prolonged proximity to asbestos, through survey results of those with the disease from around the world. Radiation exposure, thoratast or thorioum dioxide used in x-rays in the 1950’s, the virus SV40 or the simian virus or a mineral in turkey called zeolite are all a contributing factor.

Asbestos enters our systems through inhaling it and can cause it to get into our lungs. Our bodies’ natural defenses try to get rid of it through coughing it up, which can cause it to be swallowed and allows for entrance into the stomach. It then works it way into the mesothelium, or a protective sac that covers the internal organs. The abdomen wall, also know as peritoneum, continues to be attacked as this cancer forms. Once the substance is trapped the body cannot drive it out.

As the asbestos fibers irritate the abdomen cavity, fluid will usually form and tumors eventually as well. Symptoms may include loss of appetite, swelling and pain in the abdomen, appearance of lumps under the skin, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting. It will also start putting pressure on the surrounding organs as fluid builds up. These are things the doctors look out for to determine mesothelioma as the culprit. Only about one in a million people are affected by mesothelioma but when it found it’s usually spread to far for treatment. Once they can start fighting the disease it’s likely a patient will do well if found in the first stage. Surgery is a lot less risky because the health of the patient is stable enough to recover well afterward.

Through the second stage the cancerous cells may have infected most of the abdominal area. At this point possibilities for treatment can be hard to treat. The third stage can be a nightmare to cure because of the cancer has most likely spread to the surrounding organs. Chemotherapy and painkillers are recommended. It greatly depends upon the body reacting well to the treatment. Many survivors are reported when the disease is found early, about half live to the two year mark and twenty percent live up to five years. For the most part peritoneal mesothelioma is hard to diagnose, yet comparatively there are few reasons to suspect it.

If for any reason, however, there is suspected possibilities of contracting such a disease, one should be routinely checked in order to find the cancer early before it spreads farther than treatment options can guarantee. There are great successes through medicine practice; one only has to have the knowledge of what to watch for and take action to get treatment as early as possible.

Mesothelioma Asbestos law challenge rejected

A big to invalidate a Scottish parliament law giving victims of an asbestoes related illness has been rejected by a judge.it allows sufferers of pleural plaques, a benign scaring off the lungs, to make compensation claims.

Pleural plaques does not cause or develop into a more serious asbestosis related condition but it does signify an increased risk of exposure to asbestos.the insurers said the act would benefit a small group of individuals who had suffered no harm and would impose a disproportionate and excessive burden on insurers running into hundreds of millions if not billions of pounds

The judge however did not accept the insurers complaints. He also said the Scottish government believes that the legislation is in right in principle and right in law and has been unequivocally upheld. Insurers are definitely good appeal against this.

God help them.

How green tea and mesothelioma connected

by Traff

Do you know that green tea and mesothelioma is very related each other?. As said first "mesothelioma is the dieases while green tea is the cure". Let's exposed this situation.

Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma happen inside the body and cannot detect while it growth. The sign and the symptom of mesothelioma usual in shortness of breath, cough, and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall) which are often called symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. While most mesothelioma cause many factor how cancer grow. Mesothelioma also effect at weight loss, which occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the heart.

Green Tea Green tea is a type of tea made solely with the leaves of Camellia sinensis, that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Green teas have about a third the caffeine content, by liquid volume, of coffee. Green teas contain two caffeine metabolites (caffeine-like substances): theophylline, which is stronger than caffeine, and theobromine, which is slightly weaker than caffeine.

What makes green tea and mesothelioma so relate?. The answers are oxidation and asbestos. As explain, mesothelioma caused by asbestos which come into lung from air. While oxidation is produced by green tea.

Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals that occur naturally as masses of strong, flexible fibers that can be separated into thin threads and woven. Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air, especially during the manufacturing process, they may be inhaled or swallowed, and can cause serious health problems. In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung ailment), and other cancers, such as those of the larynx and kidney. Nowadays, many manufacturing company which make world so full of asbestos, beside modernism is come into play and make effect worst.

Green tea consumption is reportedly associated with various health-promoting properties. For example, it has been shown to promote fat oxidation in humans at rest and to prevent obesity and improve insulin sensitivity in mice. Insulin is useful for make balance for better grade or blood level.

In a study performed at Birmingham (UK) University, it was shown that average fat oxidation rates were 17% higher after ingestion of Green Tea Extract than after ingestion of a placebo. Similarly the contribution of fat oxidation to total energy expenditure was also significantly higher by a similar percentage following ingestion of Green Tea Extract. This implies that ingestion of Green Tea Extract can not only increase fat oxidation during moderately intensive exercise but also improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in healthy young men.

Mesothelioma support

by Thomas Goldman

Mesothelioma support is vital for those who contract the disease. There is a wide variety of support available currently, including major cancer centers, online resources, support groups both online and offline and many other forms of support available for patients and their families. There is lots of information on mesothelioma both on the internet and from other sources which helps to support those with the disease.

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer usually caused by exposure to asbestos. The exposure can be either direct such as with people who work with asbestos or indirect such as when washing clothes worn by someone who works with asbestos. The disease is very variable and some people who work with asbestos for many years might not contract the disease at all where as someone else who has only small amounts of indirect contact with asbestos might get the disease.

Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose because all the obvious symptoms could be indications of other diseases. For this reason, and since it is a rare cancer affecting only one in a million people typically, there are few real experts in the disease. An important part of the support for someone who might have the disease is going to the right experts to get the very best in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

Another form of support for those with mesothelioma is claiming compensation which is common for mesothelioma because the cause is usually exposure to asbestos due to employment. The claims can be considerable, sometimes exceeding tens of millions of dollars. Sufferers can claim for travel expenses, care (whether paid for or not), items bought due to the disease and other factors, as well as the disease itself. Legal support is often given on a contingency basis which means that no fees are charged until compensation is obtained.

Jobs which result in exposure to asbestos include shipbuilding, boiler making, lagging, carpentry, pipe-fitting, fire fighting and any other career where one might come into contact with asbestos.

Mesothelioma support is now widely available to help those with the disease.
