Welcome What is mesothelioma? Mesothelioma is a form of cancer affecting the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, and the region surrounding the heart. Due to its uncommon nature, mesothelioma is typically difficult to diagnose and treat. It has been connected with exposure to asbestos, a material formerly present in many work environments. Only about 3,000 individuals are diagnosed annually. Individuals with a history of extended asbestos exposure are at the highest risk for developing malignant mesothelioma. Even a small exposure to this cancer-causing material can result in malignant mesothelioma. However, mesothelioma has a latency of up to thirty-forty years, and many individuals previously exposed to asbestos are now displaying symptoms. This means the average age of mesothelioma patients is between 50 and 70 years. Men are typically affected more, due to the common presence of asbestos in industrial settings. There are three major types of malignant mesothelioma . epithelial, sarcomatoid, and mixed. Epithelial mesothelioma is most common. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to respiratory distress, a lasting cough, and pneumonia. In addition, symptoms are often mistaken for less serious ailments, and many patients do not show any signs at all. Individuals with pleural mesothelioma may accumulate some fluid between the lung lining and chest cavity. This can be detected through a chest x-ray, as well as CT scans.

Mesothelioma in Australia Australia has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world. This is due to the high rate of asbestos use and mining in Australia over many years. Up to 600 mesothelioma cases are diagnosed each year in Australia. The high incidence of the disease is not expected to decline in the short term. Asbestos fibre production began in the 1880's and Asbestos was extensively mined in Western Australia (Wittenoom 1938-1966) and New South Wales (Baryulgil 1940-1979). Asbestos fibre was also imported from South Africa and North America. It is estimated that One in three homes built in Australia between 1840 to 1987 contains some form of asbestos and nearly all public buildings such as hospitals and schools. Over 3,500 products containing asbestos were readily available in Australia. While Asbestos production and use has largely ceased, asbestos can still be found in the following: Building materials such as asbestos-cement sheeting (fibro) and paints Motor vehicle parts such as break linings and gaskets Electrical products such as hair dryers and air conditioners.

26. Mesothelioma Source - Treatment Options To treat mesothelioma, systemic therapy is used, with the drugs entering a patientsentire bloodstream and circulating throughout Has mesothelioma, Yes http://www.mesothelioma-source.org/treatments.htm

Types Treatment Options Financial Aid Resources Treatment Options Surgery Surgery may be necessary to remove portions of the pleural or peritoneal lining and surrounding tissue, depending on the progression of the cancer. In more serious cases, surgeons may remove a patient's lung, or sections of the diaphragm/pericardium. Another palliative surgical procedure involves draining fluid that has acculumated in the abdomen or pericardium. This is strictly used to ease pain or discomfort, and is not a treatment or cure for the disease itself. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is simply the use of drugs for treating cancer. As with other medications, chemotherapy drugs can be taken orally in pill form, or directly injected into a patient's system. To treat Mesothelioma, systemic therapy is used, with the drugs entering a patients entire bloodstream and circulating throughout the body in order to combat the cancer. A number of chemotherapy drugs have been used in the treatment of Mesothelioma. Currently, the most effective drug by itself is doxorubicin or Adriamycin. Other drugs that have been used include Cisplatin, methothrexate, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and capecitabine. As with other cancers, these drugs are often more effective when combined to fight cancerous cells.

Most patients diagnosed with this rare disease are given eight to twelve months to live. Some benzene health effects, such as central nervous system toxicity, can occur immediately after or shortly after benzene exposure. Other health effects may develop as late as 29 years after exposure. Lead in the body is dangerous because it interferes with normal body functions, changing the way the blood-forming cells work, and altering the way nerve cells signal each other..

Who I Am Why I Am Bothering Millie- 1938-1999 It is because of this attitude of depraved indifference on the part of asbestos manufacturers that asbestos litigation is in its heyday. Actually, the heyday seems to have passed since companies have discovered that they can declare bankruptcy and be protected from litigation and then pay pennies on the dollar when the ruling finally comes down years after the person who brought the suit has died. Then too, Congress is working toward some final, binding resolution that is supposed to placate all parties. My opinion regarding this solution can be easily discerned by the title of the next section. I guess one of the better reasons for this exercise is to prevent the exposure of my grandchildren to this unnecessary danger. My son has been exposed to some degree and I can't see any reason for another generation to be affected, hence the title of the page.
