Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by asbestos. Asbestos often we see or be used as a roof. Chemical Substances in Asbestos fiber type silica minerals is magnesium silicate hydroxide with a composition Mg6 (OH) 6 (Si4O11) H2O. Asbestos dust is inhaled into the lungs can injure the respiratory, asbestos can also cause thickening and tumors in the pleura (the membrane lining the lungs), called mesothelioma or the lining of the abdomen called peritoneal mesothelioma.
Severity of the disease depends on the duration of exposure and the number of fibers inhaled. The first symptoms are shortness of breath lighter and less ability to exercise. Mesotheliomas caused by asbestos are malignant and incurable. Mesotheliomas usually occur after exposure for 30-40 years. pleural mesothelioma cancer is generally not diagnosed until late stages of development, making it very difficult to identify as a dangerous cancer.
Healing can be given an inhaler to thin the mucus in the lungs. May need to be given oxygen to menstrerilkan lungs. Sometimes performed lung transplantation. Mesothelioma is fatal, chemotherapy is not very useful and removal of the tumor does not cure the cancer.
Asbestosis can be prevented by replacing the roof by using a ceiling, if you work in a factory you can anticipate by using a mask so that dust or particles from asbestos material is not directly inhaled.
