What is the treatment of diffuse malignant mesothelioma

Treatment:

Although a number of ways the current treatment of diffuse mesothelioma, but there is no very effective treatment for different patients, different health search for medical conditions, selection of treatment methods are very different, but after a certain method of treatment, have a small number of patients live at home and abroad over five years, the longest up to 22 years, most people think may be related to the natural survival time and tumor staging of cupping network. By Butchart staging of malignant pleural mesothelioma is divided into four .

According to clinical manifestations of stage Ⅰ epithelial type malignant pleural mesothelioma, may be long-term survival, according to disease invasion range of options, or pleura pleural stripping surgery involving the organization, together with en bloc resection (resection of the lung pleura, pleura chest wall resection, etc.) on Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ epithelial type, and other pathological types of cases, regardless of governance and died, with curative or palliative surgery and the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy or not, the survival curves after treatment is basically the same, the average survival time of 18 months About 10% of patients survive the 3 years. The current trend in health search is to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and supportive care measures together, namely the freedom to line tumor reduction surgery in order to line radiation therapy or external radiation therapy between organizations. Supplemented by radiotherapy and then chemotherapy. In order to control the regeneration rate of pleural effusion and reduce chest pain.

1. Palliative treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma, a patient search for pleural effusion, needle aspiration will occur soon after, using chemical agents into the pleural cavity, resulting in pleural adhesions, most patients have been brought under control of pleural effusions Health Search This pleurodesis If it fails or health search in the proposed line of diagnostic thoracotomy in patients with pleural endarterectomy should be considered done.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma can be along the puncture hole, set access and chest tube thoracotomy incision disseminated health search, but the network of the skin caused by fire can rarely cause symptoms of sediments, so do not have treatment, if given to the patient treatment, these skin junction section also observe the effect of ù can be used as indicators.

Chest pain patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma health of search is the most difficult to deal with symptoms, particularly severe in advanced, all day it continues, no response to radiotherapy should be given enough sedative analgesics, including opiate preparations to relieve pain, degree of life safety ù the last moment.

2. Surgical treatment of traditional surgical methods are: wall / visceral pleura resection and pleural pneumonectomy. Both methods are considered the treatment of tumors associated tumor reduction method. Any kind of surgical operation using the above method to complete tumor cytoreductive surgery makes ù adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy to maximize the local effect.
