Mesothelioma is a cancer that occurs in the line of cells outside the lung, pleura or located within the cavity peritoenum. The disorder is usually associated with asbestos exposure on the job and
began to rise in some countries. Pleural mesotheliomas are of two types: (1) diffuse and malignant (cancer), and (2) is localized and benign.
Symptoms begin to appear 20 years after exposure. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare tumor, but in epidemiology insidensnya increased sharply. Some reports indicate that mesothelioma associated with exposure to asbestos found as many as 60-80% of cases. There is little data on the disease. The risk seems related to the dose / amount of levels of asbestos in the lungs. Mesotheliomas that occur due to exposure to asbestos can lead to fatality in 2 to 4 years after diagnosis.

However, tumors are known to occur after exposure to krokidolit work for 6 weeks. Cancer spread and metastasize widely. Bloody effusion with pain in the chest wall often there due massive pleural effusion of blood mixed. Therefore people who suffer from pleural effusion with a history of exposure to asbestos even a few years ago to think about the possibility of
mesotheliomas. In animal experiments suggest that these fibers are very fine with a diameter of about 0.1 and a length of 8 milimikron milimikron or more responsible for the occurrence of mesotheliomas.
Mesothelioma is rarely reported as a result of exposure to pure topaz, but is accompanied by exposure to krokidolit, amosit, or mixtures containing these minerals.
Mesotheliomas are responsible for approximately 2-16% of deaths. The risk of mesothelioma is not affected by smoking in asbestos-exposed workers.

Mesotheliomas diagnosed sometimes inadvertently, before symptoms appear. Sometimes a tumor was found on a routine chest X-ray. However, when symptoms are present, it seemed short of breath, weakness, weight loss,
loss of appetite, chest pain, sore lower backs, persistent cough, difficulty swallowing, while symptoms may appear alone or combined with others. On physical examination found pleural effusion. Fluid from the pleural effusion can generally be viewed by chest X-ray and lung auscultation on physical examination. However, a definitive diagnosis mesotheliomas can only be enforced through a biopsy, pathology examination and autopsy. This is important because there is also a pleural effusion caused by disease or other tumors that have a picture similar to mesotheliomas.
