The quite widespread kind of malignant neoplasm is mesothelioma, that is produced by protracted contact with asbestos. It usually damages the lungs and abdomen. No other inner organs are included into the roll of possible damaged. Even today there were no treatment for mesothelioma treatment options designed. There are however several mesothelioma treatment options: chemotherapeutics, radiation treatment and surgery. Most of people diagnosed with mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos for over 25 years. Taking it into consideration we can announce that the work connected to any operations with asbestos is quite dangerous. The liquids in pleura are the cause of appearing pangs in the chest if the man suffers from the spiteful mesothelioma disease. Such type of mesothelioma as peritoneal one may cause the loss of weight, blood coagulation and some problems with swallowing. That is very difficult to reveal the not innocent mesothelioma, because its symptoms are very similar to other illnesses. First of all the physicians that is performing the examination must thoroughly read the case report of the patient. If includes the exposure to asbestos, there are more chances to reveal the mesothelioma. Almost all such persons further are being checked by an oncologist. The examination may be supported by X-ray scans. To determine the final diagnosis, biopsy should be performed. Currently, a modern system is obtaining popularity. It involves testing Mesomark assay that checks the degrees of proteins developed by the cells damaged by malignant tumor. It allows earlier revealing of the diseases than more conventional systems thus making it more likely for the patient to survive. The likelihood of successful cure of malign mesothelioma is not very high. Most of methods offered in general hospitals can prolong the life of patient on average only for one year. Even surgery, when it is used among with other cures is not very effective, moreover it can often cause some negative outcomes. The first drawback of surgery is that tumor cannot be fully extracted, because it will cause the death of the patient. The malign mesothelioma can be cured by means of radiation applying. It usually combined with radical surgery and administered at the same time with chemotherapeutics. This combination of procedures gives more probability to survive and continue struggle with illness. However, when given alone, without other treatment option, radiation therapy does not prolong patients’ span of life. To deal with the cancer that hasn’t been partially removed by physician it is necessary to use the lethal dose of radiation. Chemotherapeutics is the course of preparations taken by patient during some period, it inhibits the growing of malignant tumor. Such chemical preparations have a lot of different dangerous side effects that affect on the healthy cells. That’s why together with them the using of drugs which will treat the healthy cells is necessary. The pemetrex and cisplasin complex is considered to be very beneficial and is used in chemotherapy. Unfortunately, today’s medicine is able to support just a limited span of life with some types of mesothelioma.
