How is Mesothelioma Cancer diagnosed?
All patients have a diagnosis only, but the most important factors to make an accurate diagnosis is doing some kind of biopsy or medical imaging. A medical image incorporates a radiology, endoscopy, half photography, microscopy, among others. Most of the people undergo chest x-ray check to check some kind of anomaly. If the doctor detects an abnormal growth, this might recommend to undergo any (TC) CT (PET Scan), a Tomography positron emission tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. It should there be any suspicion of mesothelioma cancer is recommended to do a biopsy to confirm the presence of malignant mesothelioma cells.
The blood tests for mesothelioma are also available, however not confirm the presence of the disease. They are doing research to determine if blood tests to determine mesothelioma can help to diagnosis early for those workers who were exposed to asbestos.
Stages and development
There are at least five types of systems that doctors use for pleural mesothelioma cancer stages. Slightly older systems such as those created by Dr. Sugarbaker and Butchart fail to remove tumors from malignant tumors. For this reason in 1995 the International Mesothelioma Group (International Group of mesothelioma) developed a system to determine the status of the tumors. This model is the most common to determine the status in which the disease is found.
