Pleural mesothelioma

Written by T.Going


Pleural mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer. This cancer affectsrepparttar pleural sac that surroundsrepparttar 140719 lungs and is caused by exposure to asbestos. The pleural sac containsrepparttar 140720 lungs and also a small membrane calledrepparttar 140721 mesothelium. The mesothelium secretes a fluid that allowsrepparttar 140722 lungs to contract and expand during breathing. The inhalation of asbestos causes a build-up of asbestos fibers insiderepparttar 140723 lungs. Due torepparttar 140724 microscopic size and sharpness of these fibers it’s possible for them to penetraterepparttar 140725 walls ofrepparttar 140726 lung and enterrepparttar 140727 pleural cavity. As these fibers travel fromrepparttar 140728 lung intorepparttar 140729 pleural cavity,repparttar 140730 sharp strands shred and mutilaterepparttar 140731 mesothelium potentially destroying it and causing cancer.

Asrepparttar 140732 asbestos fibers move intorepparttar 140733 pleural cavity, cancerous tumors can develop and this thickensrepparttar 140734 pleural fluid and harms proper lung movement. The tumors also may constrictrepparttar 140735 lungs and press onrepparttar 140736 ribcage or other organs resulting in terrible pain. Sincerepparttar 140737 lungs are responsible for re-oxygenatingrepparttar 140738 blood, cancerous cells can now spread into other parts ofrepparttar 140739 body throughrepparttar 140740 bloodstream.
