Current Opinion in Oncology, 1991
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors that can be classified as localized or diffuse. Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas are invariably malignant. Although the frequency is low in the general population, it is more common in persons with a heavy occupational exposure to asbestos, and is considered as a signal tumor to asbestos exposure with medicolegal ...

Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a rare but lethal disease. Altogether there are about 150 cases reported in the literature. In most cases the diagnosis is made at autopsy or postoperatively. Clinical signs and symptoms are typically nonspecific and are similar to compromised cardiac function.

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2005
Three to four thousand cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma will occur in the United States this year. Single-modality therapy with radiation plays a role for palliation. Radiation can prevent tumor recurrence at drain/instrumentation sites and provide symptomatic relief of pain and other complaints.

The difficulties in diagnosing pleural mesothelioma, both clinically and histopathologically, are documented by our experiences with this rare tumour during an 18-year-period. A rising incidence of pleural mesothelioma is reported in the literature, which is suspected to be caused by the increasing use of asbestos. This increase is not represented in a

Ultrastructural Pathology, 2008
This study reports changes in the frequency of detection of various asbestos fiber types between 1982 and 2005. Crocidolite is increasingly detected in U.S. mesothelioma patients. The percentage of crocidolite fibers detected in lung tissue has risen from 4 to 10%, and the percentage of cases in which crocidolite was detected increased from 19 to 37 ...

Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2002
Peritoneal mesothelioma is usually a rapidly fatal primary peritoneal surface malignancy with a median survival time of less than 1 year, mainly because of lack of effective treatment. The incidence is approximately one per 1,000,000; approximately one fifth to one third of all mesotheliomas are peritoneal.

Mesothelioma is a killer, 3000 deaths a year in UK. Mesothelioma has the quality of a silent killer, as it manifests itself at a very late stage, usually when it is too late. The cause, or one of the causes, appears to be the inhalation of asbestos dust.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1987
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors. Correct diagnosis of the benign variant is rarely made preoperatively, and resection is the treatment of choice and is curative. Malignant pleural mesotheliomas are locally aggressive and difficult to treat. They may be seen clinically as localized pleural tumors or as diffuse pleural disease with effusion and

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an asbestos-related neoplasm that originates in pleural mesothelial cells and progresses locally along the pleura until it encases the lungs and mediastinum, ultimately causing death. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and optimal management. Computed tomography (CT) continues to be the primary and initial

The pathogenesis of mesothelioma
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2006Widespread asbestos exposure during the past century has been linked to the dramatic increased incidence of malignant mesothelioma (MM), a malignancy that was so rare until 1950-1960 that some pathologists questioned its existence. Although asbestos has been clearly linked to MM pathogenesis, until recently the mechanisms of asbestos carcinogenesis in ...
