General information about the mesothelium

The Mesothelium is the a single lining of flattening cells that form a sac-like membrane. This membrane protects and lines several body cavities; i.e.: the chest and the abdomen.

What is Malignant Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer originating in the sac lining of the chest (the pleura) or the abdomen (the peritoneum). A major risk factor of this disease is occupational exposure to asbestos.

Signs and symptoms of Malignant Mesothelioma

Malignant Mesothelioma can lay hidden for 20 to 50 years from the time of exposure to the time of diagnosis. Symptoms could include:

• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Cough
• Weight loss

Traditional treatment options for Malignant Mesothelioma

Malignant Mesothelioma can be difficult to treat. Surgical techniques may be more successful with early diagnosis. This disease spreads rapidly to other organs. Treatment options could also include the use of toxic medicines. Your doctor may suggest:

• Surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation Therapy
  

Radiation therapy may be considered an option for some Malignant Mesothelioma patients. Radiation therapy is used in an attempt to destroy cancerous cells and cause a reduction in tumor size. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are often performed simultaneously.
