Pericardial Mesothelioma




Mesothelioma is known as the dangerous and painful cancer that happens when the asbestos fibers are inhaled by the sufferers and they gather in the chest cavity for long time or even decades and start to develop the cancer by hitting mesothelium (a tissues that cover heart, lungs, and other organs). Have you heard about pericardial mesothelioma? This kind of mesothelioma is a bit rare.

The part of the organs involved with this condition is pericardium a membrane which its function is to protect the heart. It has two parts of layer. First one is an outer layer (parietal pericardium), and the other one is Visceral pericardium or we usually call it as an inner layer.

 The symptoms start when the sufferers inhale asbestos fibers and those particles are trapped between the two layers of pericardium membrane. Through the decades, the cancer cells will grow slowly but surely. The individuals who inhale the asbestos fibers before will not even know what are existing in their inside pericardium since it will feel hurt after the mesothelioma has reached certain levels of developments.

There are symptoms that we can see from people that have chance to posses this disease: fatigue, night sweats, chronic coughing, hard breath, abnormal heartbeat, chest pain, heart murmurs, shortness of breathing.

Usually the doctors and other specialists use MRI to diagnose this disease. The other devices that support the dignosis are chest x-ray, CT scan, and biopsy.

Smoking and Mesothelioma



Why the people always connect the smoking and mesothelioma? Are they really related to each other? First we should learn the fact that the implication of mesothelioma is too late to diagnose since the difficulty detecting symptoms make it hard for any specialist to detect except the patients are realizing that they are in the bad condition. When a patient is exposed to the asbestos materials, they will get a chance to have lungs cancer or mesothelioma.

Although smoking is considered as the dangerous thing in the case of lungs healthiness, it does not mean that smoking cause mesothelioma. In fact, it has nothing to do with mesothelioma. However, smoking will just severe an individual to chance of developing disease. Smoking may not cause mesothelioma cancer in the direct way, but it can cause other threatening condition of health such as lung cancer, emphysema and asbestosis. Asbestosis is actually not a mesothelioma cancer although people often consider it as the alias of mesothelioma, but it does help to develop the cancer in the body.
