What is Mesothelioma Lung Cancer?
by Peter Lenkefi
Mesothelioma Lung Cancer, also known as Pleural
Mesothelioma Cancer, is caused by a change in the Mesothelioma
cells that normally provide a protective coating around the Lungs.
When the Mesothelioma cells become cancerous, they begin to change
and form white nodules and later form into tumor clumps.In the
later stages of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer, the Cancer can invade
the lungs and other organs contained within upper body area.
The results of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer can lead to shortness
of breath, chest pain, fever and other conditional illnesses.
The medical profession has documented that Mesothelioma Lung Cancer
is a direct result of exposure to Asbestos related substances.
Asbestos usually consists of fibers that can enter
the body through the mouth, or the skin, and, subsequently, enter
the lungs, or blood stream. It is thought that these fibers then
lodge in the
protective lining around the lungs and after 10, or so years begin
to change the Mesothelioma cells that the lining is made up from.
Although, initially, the Mesothelioma cells effectively do their
job, the Asbestos fibers are inherently a foreign substance within
the body and often, eventually, they can no longer hold up the
fight.
Although Mesothelioma Cancer can also develop in
the abdominal area and around the heart, Mesthelioma Lung Cancer
has been found to be the most common form of Mesothelioma Cancer.
However, unlike the other two forms of Mesothelioma
Cancer, Mesothelioma Lung Cancer can be detected through the results
of a CT Scan. It is this fact that allows doctors the possibility
of detecting Mesothelioma Lung Cancer earlier than the other two
forms of Mesothelioma Cancer.
Mesothelioma Lung Cancer should not be confused
with Lung Cancer, as the two are entirely different.
Where as Mesothelioma Lung Cancer develops in the lining surrounding
the Lung, Lung Cancer develops within the Lung itself. Also, Mesothelioma
Lung Cancer is non-malignant, whereas, Lung Cancer tends to be
Malignant in nature.
Although some of the treatment methods that are
used for both Cancers are the same, such as Radiation therapy
and Chemotherapy. Essentially, there are two pleural layers that
surround the Lungs, with a gap in the middle, known as the pleural
space, which contains a special liquid. These two pleural layers,
plus the liquid, help to cushion the Lungs as the move within
the chest. It is the pleural that consists of the Mesothelioma
cells, which are essentially where the Mesothelioma Cancer begins
Early detection of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer and
appropriate treatment can often ensure extended life for the Mesothelioma
Lung Cancer patient.
