What Is Mesothelioma Lung Cancer?
By Peter Lenkefi, Fri Dec 9th
Mesothelioma Lung Cancer, also known as Pleural MesotheliomaCancer, is caused by a change in the Mesothelioma cells thatnormally provide a protective coating around the Lungs. When theMesothelioma cells become cancerous, they begin to change andform white nodules and later form into tumor clumps. In the later stages of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer, the Cancer caninvade the lungs and other organs contained within upper bodyarea. The results of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer can lead toshortness of breath, chest pain, fever and other conditionalillnesses. The medical profession has documented that Mesothelioma LungCancer is a direct result of exposure to Asbestos relatedsubstances. Asbestos usually consists of fibers that can enterthe body through the mouth, or the skin, and, subsequently,enter the lungs, or blood stream.
It is thought that these fibers then lodge in the protectivelining around the lungs and after 10, or so years begin tochange the Mesothelioma cells that the lining is made up from.Although, initially, the Mesothelioma cells effectively do theirjob, the Asbestos fibers are inherently a foreign substancewithin the body and often, eventually, they can no longer holdup the fight. Although Mesothelioma Cancer can also develop in the abdominalarea and around the heart, Mesthelioma Lung Cancer has beenfound to

be the most common form of Mesothelioma Cancer. However, unlike the other two forms of Mesothelioma Cancer,Mesothelioma Lung Cancer can be detected through the results ofa CT Scan. It is this fact that allows doctors the possibilityof detecting Mesothelioma Lung Cancer earlier than the other twoforms of Mesothelioma Cancer. Mesothelioma Lung Cancer should not be confused with LungCancer, as the two are entirely different. Where as MesotheliomaLung Cancer develops in the lining surrounding the Lung, LungCancer develops within the Lung itself. Also, Mesothelioma Lung Cancer is non-malignant, whereas, LungCancer tends to be Malignant in nature. Although some of thetreatment methods that are used for both Cancers are the same,such as Radiation therapy and Chemotherapy. Essentially, there are two pleural layers that surround theLungs, with a gap in the middle, known as the pleural space,which contains a special liquid. These two pleural layers, plusthe liquid, help to cushion the Lungs as the move within thechest. It is the pleural that consists of the Mesothelioma cells, whichare essentially where the Mesothelioma Cancer begins. Earlydetection of Mesothelioma Lung Cancer and appropriate treatmentcan often ensure extended life for the Mesothelioma Lung Cancerpatient.
