Surgery for pleural mesothelioma:

Surgery (resection of part of lung) should be performed in all cases of pleural mesothelioma, if diagnose at early stage. If at the time of diagnosis, the pleural mesothelioma is in late stage surgical modality may not yield result as the disease most like has already metastatized to other organs of body and surgery will not help much. If surgical resection is performed at an early stage of the disease, it can slow down the spread of the disease.]]> http://mesotheloima.net/surgical-treatment-of-pleural-mesothelioma/feed/ 3 How to Prevent Mesothelioma Cancer? http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-prevent-mesothelioma-cancer/ http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-prevent-mesothelioma-cancer/#comments Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:08:53 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=143 The only major known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos and no other cause has yet been found or proved. The exposure to asbestos typically occurs at the place of work where exposure occurs for prolonged time. Although the exposure to asbestos generally occurs at the place of work, there are also reports (proven) that mesothelioma can also to occur bystander i.e. working near others using asbestos products as well as household exposures (for example exposure from family members and their work clothes in the home or exposure at home due to use of products made of asbestos). There is no known safe level of exposure to asbestos as mesothelioma can occur at any level of exposure. Mesothelioma has been reported to occur even 30 years after last exposure to asbestos.]]> http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-prevent-mesothelioma-cancer/feed/ 2 Pleural Mesothelioma http://mesotheloima.net/pleural-mesothelioma/ http://mesotheloima.net/pleural-mesothelioma/#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:44:33 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=141 Pleural mesothelioma may start as simple pleural disease such as calcification of pleura or thickening of pleural lining and it is not uncommon to diagnose them as pleural calcification, pleural thickening or pleural plaques. As these pleural diseases are not fatal disease, they may be ignored and later on these pleural diseases may lead to development of pleural mesothelioma. Pleural diseases may not be fatal but they impair normal functioning of lungs and should be addressed appropriately. If a patient with pleural disease gives a history of asbestos exposure even only for a brief period the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma should be considered.]]> http://mesotheloima.net/pleural-mesothelioma/feed/ 10 Breast Cancer http://mesotheloima.net/breast-cancer/ http://mesotheloima.net/breast-cancer/#comments Thu, 20 May 2010 11:35:05 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=139 In regards to occurrence breast cancer is very common, but due to improved treatment in case of breast cancer the mortality has come down to a great extent in most of the countries where the cancer treatment facilities are available. Unlike other cancers, breast cancer has very good survival rate if treated properly. As compare to number of breast cancer detection every year, the number of deaths due to breast cancer is much less due to improved survival with adequate treatment.]]> http://mesotheloima.net/breast-cancer/feed/ 10 Asbestos Exposure of Veterans http://mesotheloima.net/asbestos-exposure-of-veterans/ http://mesotheloima.net/asbestos-exposure-of-veterans/#comments Tue, 11 May 2010 15:41:02 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=135 Millions of Americans have served in the armed forces and most of them are at risk of exposure to asbestos, which is the only known and proven cause of mesothelioma. Armed forces veterans face health hazards such as exposure to asbestos, during their service to nation. The risk of development of mesothelioma remains for as long as 30 years after retiring from service.

Some studies show as much as 30% of the mesothelioma (mesothelioma and asbestosis) suffers in America are veterans; both of these are incurable disease. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer and asbestosis is a lung disease where the disease progress despite treatment and removal of causative factor.]]> http://mesotheloima.net/asbestos-exposure-of-veterans/feed/ 0 Legal Rights in Mesothelioma http://mesotheloima.net/legal-rights-in-mesothelioma/ http://mesotheloima.net/legal-rights-in-mesothelioma/#comments Sat, 27 Mar 2010 16:05:51 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=133 Asbestos related diseases, especially mesothelioma ia a unique disease and due to the uniqueness of the mesothelioma cancer the law that govern the compensation of mesothelioma are also different from other medical compensation claims. ]]> http://mesotheloima.net/legal-rights-in-mesothelioma/feed/ 6 How to Find Mesothelioma Attorneys http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-find-mesothelioma-attorneys/ http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-find-mesothelioma-attorneys/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:46:23 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=98 Due to the uniqueness of mesothelioma and asbestos related cases there is opportunity for large sum of compensation to be received by careful use of the law and to claim your rightful compensation. ]]> http://mesotheloima.net/how-to-find-mesothelioma-attorneys/feed/ 12 What can affect life Expectancy of Mesothelioma Patients? http://mesotheloima.net/what-can-affect-life-expectancy-of-mesothelioma-patients/ http://mesotheloima.net/what-can-affect-life-expectancy-of-mesothelioma-patients/#comments Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:45:59 +0000 Dr Jupitor http://mesotheloima.net/?p=96

  • Type of mesothelioma: Generally three types of mesothelioma are common and they are pleural, peritoneal (lining of abdomen) and pericardial (covering of heart is known as pericardium) mesothelioma. There can also be other uncommon types of mesothelioma like testicular mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the commonest type which affects the pleura or the lining or the coverings of lungs. Generally patients with pleural mesothelioma lives longer, because it is the commonest form of mesothelioma and most of the research and treatment studies are done on pleural mesothelioma in compare to other less common types.
