Mesothelioma

Every thing that naturally arise are the causes and risks. The things that cause mesothelioma and the risk of people suffering from mesothelioma is as follows:

Cause
In general, cancer occurs when cells mutate DNA. These mutations make the cells continued to grow and flourish while others have a normal cell cycle of life and death. The accumulation of these cancer cells can form a malignant tumor.

It is unclear what the initial cause genetic mutations that lead to mesothelioma although scientists identify factors that may increase the risk. Cancer may occur due to a combination of several factors, such as heredity, environment, health condition and lifestyle.

Benign pleural mesothelioma
Benign tumors that form in the chest sometimes called benign (benign) mesothelioma. But the term is misleading. Benign mesothelioma is not started on the same cell where the cancer is formed. And in some cases kacil, benign mesothelioma can be very aggressive. For this reason, some doctors now prefer to call this tumor as a solitary fibrous tumor.

Solitary fibrous tumors usually do not cause signs and symptoms. It is unclear what caused the solitary fibrous tumor, but tumors are associated with asbestos contamination of pollutants. Treatment for solitary fibrous tumors usually includes surgery procedures.

Risk factors
Exposure to asbestos pollutants (primary risk factor)
Asbestos is a mineral that is found in the neighborhood. Asbestos fibers strong and resistant to heat makes it very useful to be applied to a variety of needs. People who work in an environment contaminated with asbestos fibers have a much greater risk affected by mesothelioma.

When asbestos split - such as the manufacturing process - asbestos dust is formed. If dust is inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers will then settle in the lungs or in the stomach and can cause irritation that causes mesothelioma.

Some people who for years exposed to asbestos pollution can not have mesothelioma, while others the opposite. This indicates other factors that may be related, namely heredity if you have a family history of cancer in some people is a condition that increases the risk.

Risk factors that may
Risk factors that may increase the risk of mesothelioma include:
•Exposure to asbestos fiber dust pollution
• Living with someone who works in an environment with asbestos (asbestos fibers attached to their clothing or skin)
• Smoking
• SV40 virus is found in many primates
• X-ray radiation
• Family history with mesothelioma
