Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that develops from cells
of the mesothelium, the protective lining that covers most of the
internal organs of the body.mesothelioma is dangerous but many people
still don't know. this disease called mesothelioma can be prevented but
the means of prevention available is what many don't want to adhere to.
sometimes i wonder why people know that something is not good for their
health and yet they still go close to that thing. mesothelioma is caused
mostly by asbestos and this same asbestos is what many people still use
and come in contact with everyday. mesothelioma has very many dangerous
effects to human health apart from its main effects that will be
discussed soon. people in the united states and some other parts of the
world are more at risk of the disease and this is because asbestos
which is the major cause of mesothelioma is used mostly by Americans in
the construction of houses. mesothelioma is not well known by many
people, some people have never even heard about it in their entire life.
in the country where i come from, i doubt if there is an individual
that knows much about this disease called mesothelioma. mesothelioma
kills and yet not many people know about it and the most painful thing
is that some doctors never give advice against constant contact with
asbestos, the primary cause of mesothelioma. this disease called
mesothelioma is a slow killer that gradually shortens the life span of
the individuals that it affects. my number one of writing this page
about mesothelioma is to enlighten people more on mesothelioma and this
page will cover areas such as how to prevent mesothelioma, how to reduce
the risk of being infected by mesothelioma, how mesothelioma is
diagnosed, treatments for mesothelioma and other aspects that will
enlighten people on the in and out of the dangerous disease called
mesothelioma. first, I'd like to discuss how mesothelioma starts and the
process and stages of mesothelioma.
How Mesothelioma Starts
As
we all know, mesothelioma(or malignant mesothelioma) is a rare form of
cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers the internal
organs of the body. the major cause and start of mesothelioma is
constant exposure to asbestos. the most commonly affected part by
mesothelioma is the pleura, which is the outer lining of the lungs and
internal chest wall but it can also occur in the peritoneum which is the
lining of the abdominal cavity, the pericardium which is the sac that
surrounds the heart or the tunica viginalis which is the sac that
surrounds the testis. majority of the people suffering from mesothelioma
have worked in jobs where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers or
were exposed to airborne asbestos dust or fibers in other ways. handling
the clothes or any other property taken always to work by a friend or
family member who works with asbestos also creates a risk for getting
infected by mesothelioma. mesothelioma has no association with tobacco
smoking unlike lung cancer, but smoking increases the risk of other
cancers caused by asbestos.
