Scientists announce research study pointing Mesothelioma Cancer Treatment

If nonseroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, piroxicam, and cisplatin (CDDP), we produce an anti-tumor cancer cells in combination, in particular the cells of malignant mesothelioma cancer. These results are in May 2008 in the Journal of Translational Medicine, has published a lot of attention from academics as well as victims of mesothelioma cancer. Before this study, the prognosis of cancer mesothelioma in the dark, even the best, but now researchers have break something open box of Pandora, which may be caused by a treatment for the fatal cancer from inhalation of asbestos dust. This study provides some hope for the victims, further research is needed. Scientists in this study also revealed that the potential for identifying a specific molecular target cells of mesothelioma, because they violate the effects of the cancer drug that could lead to advances in treatment of cancer death. What is mesothelioma cancer? There are different types of mesothelioma cancer, malignant mesothelioma, but is considered one of the most lethal. The study "prognosis is poor and patients have a median survival of few months in both cases, treated or untreated." Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer with cancer cells the malignant form of the bag lining the chest or abdomen, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). E 'often associated with exposure to asbestos particles and fibers into the air, which develops the risk of malignant mesothelioma in an increase individual. Signs and symptoms of malignant mesothelioma Malignant mesothelioma is often characterized by several symptoms, such as lumps in the abdomen, weight loss, pain or swelling of the abdomen, chest pains and shortness of breath. Cancer is also often the accumulation of water in the abdomen or around the lungs. Cancer often has similar symptoms to other conditions make the condition often misdiagnosed. Medical experts have also admitted that the malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer are very similar and the distinction between the two is difficult, but there are a series of tests that physicians can use to improve the potential for more accurate diagnoses. The tests can diagnose patients sustained physical examinations, chest X-ray, biopsy tissue to obtain a complete blood count (FSC), cytology, which is an examination of cells under a microscope or a bronchoscopy procedure, when a bronchoscope is inserted into the nose or mouth for a better view of the respiratory tract. Diagnosis and treatment of malignant mesothelioma Although treatments for mesothelioma is itself rarely are increasingly difficult to malignant mesothelioma due to the severity of the disease being treated. However, doctors consider many factors before treating a patient to determine the prognosis. Below you will find a detailed list of these factors, according to NCI: * The stage of cancer, stage I or localized malignant mesothelioma, or advanced malignant mesothelioma, stage II, stage III and stage IV contains contains. * The size of the tumor. * Ability to remove the tumor with surgery. * The amount of liquid collected in the chest or abdomen. * The victim's age, health and physical health problems earlier. * Type of cancer mesothelioma. * If the tumor is diagnosed as recurrent or not. Often, the tumor may spread beyond the lymphatic system, blood or other body tissues. Treatments for malignant mesothelioma can go to the area of surgical therapy, including trials of chemotherapy and biological weapons, even if the outcome is the progression of cancer and is usually based, people who do not know their status until one realizes that extended and, in general, an incurable stage. Exposure to asbestos and the Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was widely used in a variety of building materials insulating vinyl flooring. For the cost of production at low cost and ability to fire retardants, which makes it ideal estimated construction companies. Unfortunately, the port of inhalation of high concentrations of asbestos dust and fibers for the development of mesothelioma cancer. Unfortunately, this discovery was made too late, like millions of Americans who were exposed in the field, and millions more are still at risk of exposure to asbestos, such as in homes, schools, residences and dozens of other buildings around the country . Those who believe they may have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibers should consult a doctor as soon as possible. When mesothelioma is the result, we recommend the patient to receive advice from an experienced mesothelioma lawyer as a potential demand of mesothelioma, the possibility of financial compensation might be.
