Quick Information To The Fact Behind Mesothelioma Cancer

Mesothelium refers to the outer surfaces of the heart and lungs. This includes the inside of the chest wall and the inside of the bag around the heart called pericardium. In the lung is pleural mesothelium of the pericardium is the heart, and in the abdominal cavity, the name of the peritoneum.

Its main task is to protect these organs by a lubricating fluid, for motion. While mesothelioma can affect the mesothelial tissue in the body that is best in the pleural or peritoneal mesothelium. Unfortunately, many patients are not diagnosed with mesothelioma symptoms are present, and are usually no symptoms until the cancer in its advanced stage.

To understand a little better, let us make clear that the mesothelium is a membrane, for the majority and protects the internal organs of the body. It consists of two layers of cells: One layer immediately around the organ, the other forms a pocket around. It (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium, the abnormal and divide without control and order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) occurs when the cells of the mesothelium are abnormal and divide without control or order. Nearby tissues and organs may be affected and the cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body.

What is asbestos? Now, asbestos fibers cause injury and scarring in the mesothelium, ultimately leads to the formation of tumors. The damaged cells secrete large quantities of a clear liquid to the lungs and other organs, causing serious inconvenience. The tissue cells, which mesothelium.There are three types of malignant mesothelioma: epithelial, sarcomatoid and mixed. The epithelial type is the most common. Mesothelioma is a terrible disease, which in a certain cell type (the mesothelium) divide without control. This division of the cells can cause mesothelioma.

Well, not everything is bad news. Benign mesothelioma can occur if there mesothelium. It is localized and not to surrounding tissue. Cancer, in the mesothelium tissue is mesothelioma. Malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective layer that most of the internal organs of the body. The most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), mesothelioma, but can also occur in the peritoneum or pericardium.

One of the current problems, but this solution is that mesothelioma cancer can take years before it begins to show. In some cases, this period is more than 40 years. The mesothelium is moisture between the two layers that lubricates the movement of the body protects. Indeed, develops in the mesothelium, a thin, double-layer protective sheath around vital organs and body cavities.

The mesothelium to protect the chest and lungs, the pleura and the mesothelium around the abdomen is the peritoneum.

Inoperable Colon Cancer Responds to New Treatment

Individuals from 26 U.S. states and four other countries have been among the first to use NeoPlas Innovation's new protocol.

Nashville, Tenn. (Vocus) June 16, 2009 -- With an extensive, inoperable colon cancer and few options available, a Tennessee patient is seeing his cancer steadily regressing on a new outpatient treatment. Individuals from 26 U.S. states and four other countries have been among the first to use NeoPlas Innovation's new protocol. The Tennessee patient's early results mirror their successes in battling colon cancer and other very aggressive malignancies.

The most recent colon cancer patient is a man in his late fifties who had an extensive cancer of the lower colon diagnosed in early 2008. Initially his doctors recommended surgical resection in an operation that would have removed all the organs of his lower abdomen and pelvis; however, it was determined that he would be unlikely to survive the procedure. Chemotherapy was tried, but was ineffective. He visited NeoPlas Innovation's Nashville clinic in the spring of 2009 and began the new outpatient treatment.
Two months later, CT scans have shown that the cancer has regressed dramatically. The patient's symptoms are resolving in step with the response, with improvements in appetite and digestion and the regaining of lost weight. NeoPlas Innovation Director of Research Dr. Stephen B. Cantrell commented, "These are results from one patient, so no conclusions can be drawn. But this is consistent with the favorable responses we're seeing in the great majority of our patients, including those with colon cancer." The protocol is offered for qualifying patients with colon cancer, renal (kidney) cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma and certain sarcomas. It can be considered for other patients on a case-by-case basis.

The new treatment is an off-label combination of two existing medicines: lovastatin, typically used as a cholesterol lowering agent, and interferon. According to Dr. Cantrell, "The key to moving from the lab to success in humans has been taking a fresh look and finding the right medicines to combine. When we have administered a precisely timed regimen of low-dose interferon with lovastatin, the results have been surprising." NeoPlas Innovation patients often have seen the arrest of their cancers' growth and spread in as few as eight weeks of treatment. In many cases, such as this one, patients have experienced active regression of tumors.

The medicines used have the advantage of being safe and well tolerated. Fatigue is the most notable side effect of NeoPlas Innovation's cancer treatment. Most patients never experience effects commonly affiliated with chemotherapy or radiation (nausea, vomiting, hair loss, bone marrow suppression or immune system suppression). An experienced physician prescribes and monitors the outpatient treatment.

NeoPlas Innovation's web site, www.neoplas.org, provides complete information and an interactive screening tool for patients who are considering this treatment. The clinic can be reached at (615) 371-8100.
