The quite widespread kind of cancer is mesothelioma, which is produced by protracted contact with asbestos. The lungs and abdomen are often attacked by it. It is quite rarely when other inner organs suffer from mesothelioma. Today no available treatment for mesothelioma designed. There are some various mesothelioma treatment variants, such as chemical and radiation therapy or surgery. Most of people diagnosed with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos for over 25 years. It could happen on the works where particles of asbestos, for example in building where cement produces are employed. Quite often the patients feel the pangs in the chest which is produced by liquid in the pleura. Such symptoms are common for the spiteful type of asbestosis mesothelioma. Such type of mesothelioma as peritoneal one may produce the loss of weight, blood coagulation and some difficulties with swallowing. That is quite difficult to detect the not innocent mesothelioma, because its symptoms are very alike to other illnesses. If the case report of the patient comprises exposure to asbestos at any time in the past, the probabilities for suspecting mesothelioma are higher. A lot of such persons further are being examined by an oncologist. The inspection can be supported by X-ray scans. To establish the final diagnosis, biopsy should be carried out. But the modern method of resolving that complexity was invented lately. It involves testing Mesomark assay that checks the degrees of proteins released by the cells contaminated by malignant neoplasm. To reveal the illness on the initial phase it is very important for successful cure, that's why that new system is quite useful. The likelihood of appropriate treatment of malign mesothelioma is not very high. Most of methods offered in general clinics can extend the life of patient on average only for a year. For instance, mesothelioma surgery even when used among with other cures has been producing a lot of negative results. The main drawback of surgery is that mesothelioma cannot be completely removed, because it will cause the death of the person. The malign mesothelioma can be treated by means of radiation applying. It usually mixed with radical surgery and provided at the same time with chemotherapy. Such a complex has allowed reaching longer survival in definite patients. But using without other cure options radiation method wouldn't bring the positive results. Moreover it can be quite dangerous. If there was no surgery, the dose of radiation necessary to deal with the cancer would kill the patient. The formation of malignant tumor cells can be stopped or held up by utilizing chemotherapy. Such chemical substances have lots of various dangerous side effects that affect on the healthy cells. That's why among with them the using of pills that can treat the healthy cells is necessary. The most common complex that is utilized in chemotherapy is pemetrex and cisplasin. Even today's technologies and perfect knowledge are not able to fully cure some biphasic mesothelioma, unfortunately.
