When a person is over exposed to asbestos, he can develop tumor cells then later would turn out to be malignant cancer cells, it would affect most of the body organs or otherwise known as mesothelioma. Normally, pleura, which is the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall is affected by serious form of cancer, though it may also occur in the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity and the pericardium, the sac keeping the...more

Another interesting study is called, "Palliative surgical debulking in malignant mesothelioma : Predictors of survival and symptom control" by A. E. Martin-Ucara, J. G. Edwardsa, A. Rengajarana, S. Mullerb and D. A. Waller, - Department of Thoracic Surgery, Glenfield Hospital, Groby Road, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Objective: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) typically presents at an advanced stage. In the UK surgical intervention has been mostly reserved for tissue diagnosis or chemical pleurodesis. However, the role of debulking surgery in symptom control has not been fully explored. Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 51 consecutive patients presenting with MM underwent palliative surgical debulking for symptomatic relief (all patients presented with dyspnoea, 39 also had pain and two had a co-existing pleural empyema). Patients with early disease who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy were excluded. The treatment aims were pleural drainage, lung re-expansion, pleurodesis and pleural debulking for symptom control. If the lung re-expanded after drainage of the effusion a subtotal parietal pleurectomy was performed via Video Assisted Thoracic...more
Conclusions: This preliminary experience demonstrates that laparoscopy is a safe and accurate method for detecting transdiaphragmatic tumor extension when CT fails to do so. Laparoscopy should be considered a standard part of prethoracotomy staging...more
