In order to treat all types of cancer, doctors usually choose the first phase of the disease, before formulating a plan to fight him too. Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos, is no exception. This type of cancer attacks gaskets around the body, such as the stomach) (peritoneal dialysis, the heart (pericardium), lung (pleura) and testes as well.
Mesothelioma was recognized only as a disease distinct from other types of cancer after the end of 1950.Perhaps this explains why there is a method that doctors use to determine the stage of cancer progression. In fact, there are actually three different methods for diagnosing the stage of infection to choose from.
First, the Butchart staging system is the oldest way to find out the amount of tumor. Appears mainly on the size and distribution of the original tumor. The stages of mesothelioma, according to the scale Butchart:
Level 1 --Mesothelioma is a lung in the lining to the right or left pleura. It can also be applied to the lung, heart, lining, or diaphragm disseminated.
Level of diffusion Have 2 - tumors of the esophagus. It may also be on both sides of the pleural lining, as well as the heart and lymph nodes.
Stage 3 - pleural mesothelioma has spread from the peritoneal free real. When he attacked the lymph nodes in the chest, it is possible those who are attached to the belly as well.
Stage4 - metastasis has occurred, which means that tumors in distant organs.
Subsequently, the Brigham staging system will seek a new path that deals with how to treat mesothelioma cancer at this point.
Phase I - The tumor can be removed surgically. Does not spread through the lymphatic system.
Phase II - The tumor can be surgically removed, but the difference is that the lymph nodes are affected.
Phase III - Mesotheliomacan not be removed surgically, and has on his stomach, heart, chest, or distribute the diaphragm. It plays no role in the stage of lymph nodes.
Stage IV - The tumor is completely metastases and spread to all parts of the body, including distant organs.
Finally, a system for other types of cancer is used as the TNM. T stands for tumor, N for lymph nodes and M for metastases.
Stage I - Cancer is only in the mesothelium, or the tissueLines that cuts across different parts of the body. Can usually be removed surgically, at this point.
Phase II - The tumor is now in the same lung, and perhaps also in the membrane, but not in the lymph nodes.
Phase III - The cancer can be in the peritoneum, and mediastinum lymph nodes and chest.
Level IV - Like the other two systems have appeared, the tumors in other organs of the body. There may be things like the heart, penetrated the esophagus andSpine.
Mesothelioma is a terrible and even fatal cancer. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with asbestos disease illegal, you should talk to a lawyer about your rights. For more information, contact a mesothelioma attorney today by the company of Williams Kherkher.
