Mesothelioma is a malignant neoplasm. It occurs in humans who came in contact with asbestos. The lungs and abdomen can be attacked by this disease. It is quite rarely when other inner organs are damaged by mesothelioma. Nowadays there is no efficient treatment of mesothelioma. Chemotherapeutics, radiation therapy and surgery are mesothelioma cure options. Statistic says that all the patients that have such illness have been in contact with asbestos for over 25 years. That's why the work, where the worker contacts with particles of asbestos is considered to be particularly dangerous. Patients suffering from spiteful asbestosis mesothelioma frequently suffer from cough as well as throe in the chest which is produced by liquid in the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma which affects abdominal cave may produce loss of mass, blood clotting, problems with deglutition among others. The symptoms of not benign mesothelioma unfortunately are commonly incorrectly regarded as other not so earnest illness. That's why it is not always possible to detect it in good time. The case report of examined person should be carefully studied. If it comprises some data of exposure to asbestos physician should suppose the presence of mesothelioma. A lot of such patients further are being checked by an oncologist. It is possible to reveal the mesothelioma using X-ray scanner, but the attacked tissues should be examined by biopsy if there is such opportunity. But the modern way of resolving this complexity was designed recently. The cells contaminated by cancer can't produce the normal amount of proteins. The concept of the new method is founded on inspecting their levels to reveal malignant neoplasm. It permits earlier revealing of the diseases than more traditional methods thus making it more credible for the patient to live. Such type of cancer as mesothelioma is very difficult. Conventional systems permit the person to survive up to a year, on average after the cure has been applied. The mesothelioma surgery can't guaranty the adequate degree of success even if it is utilized in complex with other treatment systems. Mesothelioma cannot be fully treated using the surgery method. The malignant tumor cannot be removed completely because the person will die. The malign mesothelioma may be treated by means of radiation therapy. It usually combined with radical surgery and administered at the same time with chemotherapy. This combination of procedures brings more chances to left alive and continue struggle with illness. Nevertheless, when applied alone, without other cure option, radiation therapy does not extend patients' span of life. If there was no surgery, the dose of radiation necessary to deal with the malignant tumor would kill the patient. Chemotherapeutics is the course of preparations taken by patient during some period, it subdues the growing of malignant neoplasm. Commonly these drugs have arduous side effects on healthy cells as well and thus are given in combination with preparations that reduce their dangerous side effects. To cure malign mesothelioma physicians use pemetrex in complex with cisplatin. Even today's technologies and perfect knowledge are not able to fully treat some malignant pleural mesothelioma, unfortunately.
