Treatment For Mesothelioma Patients: Scan Challenge Of Pleural Effusion

Treatment Mesothelioma. The early identification of the fatal and incurable mesothelioma and the subsequent granting of the radiation, surgery, and palliative care asbestosis are known to help the patient the best opportunity to expand and improve the quality of life of the remaining.

The critical factor in this process is the use of the scanning technology of the body, from x-rays, mri (magnetic resonance imaging), ct (computed tomography) scan or ct scan, the most advanced pet/ct (positron emission tomography and computed tomography).

A prolonged period of grace of up to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos and the inhalation of fibers, dust on the appearance of asbestosis of symptoms can often mean that a diffuse malignant mesothelioma has reached an advanced stage, and the distribution in other tissues of the authority.

While an x-ray of the chest or in the abdomen, we may detect the accumulation of fluid, mass, or signs of non-cancerous of the disease of the pleura, the proof of the spreading of the tumor of expansion of the x-ray will only show, as the shadow of a drive of a tumor, such as with peritoneal of mesothelioma. In the same way, despite the mri supply highly detailed image of the inside of the body, and can determine the severity of the tumor, this type of analysis up to now, it can’t be the only testimony about the cancer.

The tc of the image of the products on offer in the cross-section of the examination of the layers of the body for more easy to detect deviations from the given depth in the body of the patient, and can also identify and diagnose lung cancer before an x-ray of chest, which leads to the improvement of survival in 20%. However, ct can detect pleural effusion, plevralnaya the court, calcification of the pleura or the chest wall of a possible invasion, which cannot differentiate between benign or malignant tumors of mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma patients who suffer painful breathing caused by pleural effusions – fluid accumulation through the lung linings in response to the spread of tumors mesothelioma – you can go through the procedure of drainage of liquids and replace the space with the health services of the talc.

New medical studies have found that the fluid draining process may interfere with the pet/ct follow-up, which also involves the establishment of a patient radioactive locator and the level of absorption of cancer cells, subsequently, to evaluate the results of the validation, once after 14 days and then again after 125 days.

It was found that increasing the number of tracer is absorbed by the cancerous cells, the talc, the treatment may appear to show the disease spreads faster than your true progress.

The researchers came to the conclusion that, to compensate for the interference with the evaluation of several modified method of the interpretation of the results of the analysis is recommended for patients of mesothelioma of the pleura, which receive the drainage and talc procedure.
