What is Peritoneal Mesothelioma?
What is Peritoneal Mesothelioma?
Peritoneal
Mesothelioma is a tumor of the membrane Peritoneum. The
peritoneum is a thin membrane in the organs in the abdomen
consisting of mesothelial cells.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma is associated to coming about from
having previous exposure to asbestos, and in many cases is found
through routine abdominal xrays and CT scans showing something
different than normal.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma can stay dormant in your body for many
years, before it will be seen, and for this reason many people
years after they have been exposed to asbestos will be diagnosed
with Peritoneal Mesothelioma. About 20% of all mesotheliomas are
Peritoneal Mesothelioma, and they can be of two types: malignant
and benign.
What are the Symptons of Peritoneal Mesothelioma?
- abdominal pains
- weakness
- weight loss
- loss of appetite
- nausea
- abdominal swelling
The symptoms become more severe over time and should be checked
out by a doctor. If they do not, they will cause increasing
pressure on your abdomen organs, causing much discomfort, and
will lead to bowel
obstruction and distention.
How is peritoneal mesothelioma diagnosed? A peritoneoscopy is
performed, and if there is a reason to be concerned, a biopsy is
performed. A biopsy is the process of taking a piece of tissue
to be given to a pathologist for analysis. The pathologist uses
a microscope to analyse the tissue and make the actual
diagnosis.
Currently, it is still unknown why Asbestos causes the
mesothelial cells to be cancerous, and it is unsure how many
fibers are needed for the tumor to occur. Many treatments exist
for peritoneal mesothelioma, however a cure has yet to be found.
What are some of the treatments available for Peritoneal
Mesothelioma?
- chemotherapy
- radiation therapy
- surgery.
If you are feeling any of the symptoms noted above, ensure you
have it checked out early. The earlier the diagnosis of
Peritoneal Mesothelioma, the better chance the treatments will
be effective.
