Mesothelioma is indeed rare form of cancer that can happen in many types of forms. It is common knowledge that mesothelioma is caused by the long period of time exposure to the asbestos. This group of natural fibers that are dangerous for human if they inhale it are rarely avoidable since the work field often performs such asbestos exposure. People mostly do not realize when they inhale fibers they fibers will become lodged in the lungs alveolus in the long period of time. Those fibers will make cells and tissue disturbed and trigger to advanced problem like mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the common name of the form of mesothelioma cancer that almost 75 per cent of patients experience this case.
The next common form namely peritoneal mesothelioma shows 20 per cent of all mesothelioma cases and remaining 5 per cent is crowned for pericardial mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma strikes to the lining of the lungs, peritoneal mesothelioma affects the peritoneum. All of the mesothelioma cases affects the important areas of the patients, making the disease difficult to treat with many medication attentions. Radiation therapy is one of the treatments is used but can only be operated with the strict radiation dosage since there is possibility in damaging important organs of the human in the procedure.
Those patients who are stronger since weaker mesothelioma sufferers have bigger risk of death after conducting the aggressive operations apply aggressive mesothelioma surgery. Experts and doctors will measure the strength of their patients before conducting aggressive surgery to them. They will consider information including disabilities, allergies, sex, medical records, and weight. With the aggressive surgery, there is a chance patients will die within the surgery operation.
Second type of surgery for mesothelioma is named palliative procedures. This way is less damaging and aggressive. However, this surgery just offers the patients to lessen the symptoms.
