Mesothelioma:
What Mesothelioma Cancer is |
|
by:Hector Milla |
Everybody have listened the word
Mesothelioma, but few people know what this rare type of cancer really
is. Through a series of articles you will know and learn rapidly about
this cancer disease that affects either men or women at any age.
The cancer of the mesothelium appears when the cells of this membrane
-that forms the lining of several internal organs within the different
body cavities: the pleura in the thoracal cavity, the peritoneum in the
abdominal cavity and the pericardium in the heart sac, become abnormal
or 'malignant' and divide neither with control nor order.
The mesothelium is composed by two layers of cells, which produce a
fluid that enable the expanding and contracting movements of organs,
such as the heart beating and the corresponding lungs movements.
Although most Mesothelioma cases start in the pleura or peritoneum, the
problem increases when these cancerous cells can damage nearby tissues
and organs or even metastasize or spread to other parts of your body.
Despite Mesothelioma cancer rate has increased over the past 20 years,
this disease is not as common as other types of cancer pathology. The
number of new diagnosed cases in the United States rises up to 2,000
per year.
