What are the stages of mesothelioma?
Good day. I was exposed to asbestos,silica, fluoride and acid fumes on the job for 10 years (20 years). At 05 I went into respiratory failure. Lung biopsy is placed pleural mesothelial atypical hyperplasia. Pulmonologists say this is due to asbestos,but it will not go further. Brave people I spoke with who confronted with mesothelioma admit that atypical hyperplasia of mesothelial once. Somebody knows the steps mesothelioma? Thank you
* Level 1 mesothelioma affects the outer layers of the pleura around the chest wall on one side of the chest only. May,who grew up in the pleural tissue covering the iris * Step 1b mesothelioma began to spread to the pleura inner layer (closest to the lungs),but remains on one side of the chest. * Stage 2 mesothelioma has spread to both layers of the pleura on one side of the body,and has expanded form a pleural tumor in the lung,or began to spread through the diaphragm muscle or lung tissue to the stage * 3 mesothelioma has spread to the chest wall or the lining around the heart (pericardium),but is still potentially removed by surgery. Or spread to lymph nodes on one side of the chest * Stage 4 mesothelioma can be removed surgically,because it spread to various parts chest wall,or cultivated through the diaphragm into the peritoneum,pleura,or other body part,or thoracic organs,or through the inner layer of the pericardium. Or it has spread to lymph nodes in the other side of the chest,or over clavicle. Or the spread to other parts of the body.
