1 There was a risk that he could develop mesothelioma or lung cancer.

2 Mesothelioma and lung cancer are very different diseases.

3 However, it more amenable to treatment than mesothelioma is.

4 Mesothelioma frequent lung or abdominal membrane.

5 The goal discussion pleural membrane mesothelioma clinical characteristic.

6 Peritoneal mesothelioma refers to primary peritoneal mesothelial cells in the tumor.

7 Lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma are more common with asbestos inhalation and asbestosis.

8 Mesothelioma is a from of lung cancer that is almost always caused by asbestos exposure and is most commonly found in the outer lining of the lungs called the mesothelium .

9 Malignant pleural mesothelioma(MPM), originated from pleural mesothelium cell, is an fatal tumor with natual history of only about several months,[www.Sentencedict.com] has showed an increased morbidity recently.

10 However mesothelioma is often difficult to diagnose a of reasons.

11 After pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma accounts for the majority of other diagnoses.

12 In its most common form, pleural mesothelioma, mesothelioma affects the pleural surfaces in the chest cavity.

13 A bronchoscopy may be performed if pleural mesothelioma is suspected.

14 There is currently no known cure for mesothelioma, although clinical trials and tests continually being conducted.

15 The treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma, is still no effective cure methods.

16 Pleural mesothelioma occurs when one of the pleura in the chest cavity becomes malignant.

17 There are other differences between lung cancer and mesothelioma as well.

18 Suspicious for malignant pleural mesothelioma patients, CT examination is most useful.

19 The initial patient uations are critical in identifying patients at risk for developing mesothelioma.

20 Some patients cyclical low blood sugar and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy lung disease, but these indications in more benign mesothelioma see.

21 The dense white encircling tumor mass is arising from the visceral pleura and is a mesothelioma.

22 Scientists claim they have developed a more sensitive test for the asbestos - related cancer mesothelioma.

23 Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of malignant mesothelioma of special types.

24 Pemetrexed is a multitargeted antimetabolite that has shown activity in malignant pleural mesothelioma and NSCLC, which has been approved in more than 70 countries.

25 The varied and non - specific symptoms associated with mesothelioma can delay detection and diagnosis.

26 If the malignancy begins in one of the pleural tissues, one is diagnosed pleural mesothelioma.

27 Pemetrexed disodium is the only agent for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma ( MPM ).

28 Conclusions It is possible for ultrasonography to suggest the diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma , when the sheetlike or irregular mass of peritoneum was founded.

29 METHODS: We reviewed 50 consecutive patients undergoing extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma in our institution between January 1993 and March 2005.

30 It is because of the proximity of the pleurae to the lung that many people mistakenly think of pleural mesothelioma as a form of lung cancer.
