What is peritoneal mesothelioma?  Peritoneal mesothelioma is a terrible disease that damages the delicate cells that form a whole, the inner lining of the abdominal cavity. As everyone knows, the abdominal cavity is a very important part of the body's organs. It 'very important because it protects some of the most sensitive organs such as the pair of lungs.

In general, the inner lining of the abdominal cavity is composed of two membranes and visceral and parietal membranes. Thus, a person must pass to inhale asbestos in any form, the microorganisms enter the body easily and eventually affect cells in the lining of the abdominal cavity. As a result of inhalation and the passage of time, the abdomen also ends up being damaged. The diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma that really happened in the following way.

When asbestos is inhaled into the body, causing the structure of cells that are embedded in the visceral and parietal layers begin to change over time. First, the cells divide, and as a result of this division, end up thickening. Eventually, a thickening of the cells may be the result of the layers become a tumor, and this then causes the organs to the abdominal cavity is protected from slow to failure from day to day. Continue to occur as a result, the liver can be damaged over time.

However, in this day and age, doctors are not usually give an early diagnosis. This is because the TT, which is, unfortunately, does not easily show the damage to the abdomen early stages of the disease. Although this disease can occur at a later stage, in the form of small groups of tumors, or even a tumor. As a result of tumors need to grow, can then be identified and diagnosed TT, and fortunately, then appropriate treatment can begin, and perhaps increase the chances of recovery.
