Unfortunately many cases of mesothelioma are not diagnosed in the early stages of the disease because symptoms may remain latent for decades.Many cases of mesothelioma are caused by asbestos, a mineral fiber that was used in the construction of buildings because of its highly effective insulation and flame resistant properties. The inhalation of these fibers is directly related to the diagnosis of mesothelioma.Over a period of decades mesothelioma destroys healthy cells by assaulting them with three main avenues of attack:1.

Symptoms And Treatments For Mesothelioma
2008-02-06 07:18:00
Mesothelioma is one of the few cancers that don't exhibit symptoms until the cancer reaches the late stage of development and it is at this point that many cases become incurable. It also has non-specific symptoms and thousands of cases each year are misdiagnosed as other, less severe respiratory conditions. Simply put, mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the thin layer of protective tissue around the major organs, most noticeably the lungs, heart and stomach and recently it has been positively linked to the mineral asbestos. This thin layer of tissue, the mesothelium, allows inhaled asbestos fibres to embed themselves, and it is here that they can lay dormant for up to 50 years before becoming cancerous.The symptoms that are associated with mesothelioma depend on which of t

What Causes Mesothelioma?
2008-02-06 07:16:00
Ninety percent of all mesothelioma cases are caused by asbestos exposure. This cancer affects the protective lining that covers many of the body’s internal organs known as the mesothelium. The areas of the lining most often affected are the lungs and abdomen.Asbestos is a natural fiber that is strong, flexible, and highly durable. It was used in insulation and household appliances for years because of it’s ability to resist heat and chemical damage. The fact that asbestos causes mesothelioma and other chronic lung conditions was unknown until the 1960s.Asbestos fibers are tiny, and when asbestos is mined or disturbed in any way, these fibers are released into the air. They then make their way into the lungs of anyone who is exposed, where they cause inflammation and the formation of sc

Is There A Preferred Way To Detect Breast Cancer? Both Digital And X-ray Film Mammograms Can Help Save Lives
2008-04-05 05:50:00
In 2006, more than 250,000 U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This deadly disease will claim the lives of more than 40,000 friends, neighbors, mothers and daughters. These are staggering statistics.However, breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is largely attributed to the benefits of annual mammograms that enable physicians to detect cancer at its earliest stages, and improved treatment programs that help patients better manage their cancer.Both digital and film-based mammography can identify breast disease in women who may have no obvious signs of breast cancer. Historically, mammograms have been conducted using medical X-ray film. Now, new digital imaging technologies are emerging that offer a complementary method for early detection of breast cancer.The a
