Acerca del mesotelioma peritoneal<\/h3>\n

El mesotelioma peritoneal es el segundo m\u00e1s com\u00fan tipo de mesotelioma<\/a>, representando alrededor de 300 a 600 de los 3.000\u00a0diagn\u00f3sticos de mesotelioma<\/a> in the United States each year. This type of cancer affects the peritoneum, a membrane that lines the abdomen and abdominal organs. There are two parts of the peritoneum: the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum. The visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, including the liver, stomach, colon and intestinal tract; the parietal peritoneum covers the abdominal cavity. The sac formed by the visceral and parietal peritoneum protects the abdominal organs and lubricate this space. The lubrication allow the organs to move within the abdominal cavity.<\/p>\n

The inhalation or ingestion of amianto<\/a> fibers may have disastrous effects on the peritoneum. Asbestos fibers are fine and may be sharp and needle-like or curled. Asbestos fibers become airborne when working with or around asbestos products, where they may then be inhaled or swallowed. This often happens entirely without the victim’s knowledge. Once asbestos fibers enter the body, they can migrate to the peritoneum and cause peritoneal mesothelioma. The size and shape of the fibers make it difficult for the body to expel once embedded in the peritoneum. Over time, they may cause irritation, inflammation and scarring.<\/p>\n

Asbestos fibers can change the genetic make-up of the peritoneal cells. This results in the overproduction of the lubricating fluid they produce to allow the organs to move against one another and the abdominal cavity. Excess fluid in the peritoneum may cause such s\u00edntomas<\/a> como dolor abdominal, p\u00e9rdida de peso inexplicable, hinchaz\u00f3n abdominal, n\u00e1useas, anemia y fiebre. Estos s\u00edntomas pueden tardar hasta 50 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s en desarrollarse. Tambi\u00e9n pueden ser indicativos de enfermedades comunes, lo que hace que el paciente espere para buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n

Diagn\u00f3stico y tratamiento del mesotelioma peritoneal<\/h3>\n

En tratamiento del mesotelioma peritoneal<\/a>, an early diagnosis is crucial. Due to the long latency period of the disease and the fact that its symptoms mimic less serious medical conditions, it is often not diagnosed until it is in its later stages. This limits treatment options. A patient can work with an oncologist who specializes in mesothelioma to develop a plan of action based on the specific case.<\/p>\n

Asbestos exposure is known as the cause of peritoneal mesothelioma. A person with a history of asbestos exposure should inform his or her physician. The physician can take a proactive approach to watching for the early signs of mesothelioma. This may allow the doctor to diagnose the disease as early as possible. Treatment options may include the surgical removal of the tumor or tumors, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, drug therapy or a combination, depending on the scenario.<\/p>\n
