Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor. It happens in people who came in contact with asbestos. The lungs and abdomen may be attacked by this illness. It is quite rarely when other inner organs are damaged by mesothelioma. At present no obtainable mesothelioma treatment options invented. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery are mesothelioma treatment options. Statistic shows that all the patients that got such disease have been in contact with asbestos for over 25 years. It could happen on the jobs where grains of asbestos, for example in construction where cement produces are utilized. The fluids in lungs are the cause of appearing pangs in the chest if the man suffers from the malignant asbestos mesothelioma. The loss of weight, blood coagulation and swallowing problems may appear as a result of such type of mesothelioma as peritoneal. Not innocent mesothelioma is impartially hard to diagnose as it has symptoms which compared with a number of other diseases. The case report of examined patient should be carefully read. If it includes some data of exposure to asbestos physician has to suppose the presence of mesothelioma. This patient should be materially examined by an oncologist. The examination may be supported by X-ray scans. To determine the ultimate diagnosis, biopsy should be performed. But the new method of resolving that problem was invented recently. The cells damaged by malignant tumor can't release the normal amount of proteins. The principle of the new method is based on checking their levels to find out cancer. It can reveal much earlier that already existed systems. All the diseases are not so difficult to treat on its initial phase. The likelihood of successful cure of malign mesothelioma is not very high. Conventional methods permit the patient to survive up to a year, on average after the cure has been administered. The mesothelioma surgery can't provide the sufficient level of success even if it is utilized in complex with other treatment systems. Mesothelioma cannot be fully cured utilizing the surgery method. The malignant neoplasm cannot be removed fully because the person will die. Another system utilized to treat malign mesothelioma is radiation applying. All the methods may be mixed and utilized at the same time more effectively. This combination has permitted achieving longer survival in definite persons. However, when given alone, without other treatment option, radiation method does not extend patients' life expectancy. If the surgery was not used that needed dose of radiation would exceed all the limits and can kill the person. The development of malignant neoplasm cells can be stopped or held up by using chemotherapy. Commonly these medicines have severe side effects on healthy cells as well and thus are given in combination with preparations which decrease their harmful side effects. To treat malign mesothelioma physicians use pemetrex in combination with cisplatin. Some peritoneal mesothelioma is very rare but even today's medicine cannot fully cure that illness.
