Mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, pain in the lungs or chest, pain in the back, and a pain or swelling in the abdominal area. Weight loss, fever, and coughing can also indicate the onset of mesothelioma. Peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms can also include nausea, vomiting and bowel obstruction.
The disease progresses quickly so obtaining medical attention at the first sign of related symptoms is critical.
Mesothelioma is usually first diagnosed through x-ray. The mesothelioma doctor may also use a thoracoscope for diagnosis. A biopsy is removed and studied under a microscope.
There are several mesothelioma treatment options available, including surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Clinical trials are studying new and innovative means of treating mesothelioma.
