Tests and diagnosisIf there are signs and symptoms that can point out mesothelioma, the doctor will check for any lumps or other unusual signs. Doctors can scan the image, such as a chest x-ray and computer tomography (CT) scan of a chest or belly, to find the anomaly. Based on the results, can undergo more tests to determine whether Mesothelioma or an illness causing the signs and symptoms.BiopsyA biopsy, a procedure to remove a small section of tissue to test in the laboratory, is the only way to determine mesothelioma. Depending on the area of the body is affected, your doctor will select the appropriate biopsy procedure. Options include:Needle biopsy. The doctor will remove a piece of tissue or fluid with a small needle inserted into the abdomen or chest.Endoscopy of the chest (Thoracoscopy). Thoracoscopy allows the surgeon to view the inside of the chest. In this section, the surgeon makes one or more small incisions between the ribs. A tube with a small video camera is then put into the chest cavity-the procedure sometimes called video assist splanchnicectomy surgery (VATS). The special tool allows the surgeon cut away the tissue for testing.Laparoscopic surgery. Endoscopy allows the surgeon to see inside the abdomen. Use one or more small incisions in the abdomen, the surgeon inserts a small camera and surgical tools specifically to get a small piece of tissue to examine.Open the chest. Open chest surgery is open the chest between the ribs to allow the surgeon to check for signs of disease. A sample of tissue can be removed for testing.Open the abdomen (Laparotomy). Laparotomy is open abdominal surgery allow surgeons to check for signs of disease. A sample of tissue can be removed for testing.The tissue samples are analyzed under a microscope to see the abnormal tissue is mesothelioma and the relevant cell types. The type of Mesothelioma has to determine the treatment plan.The level of (Staging) After being diagnosed with mesothelioma, the doctor orders tests to determine the level, or stage of cancer. Image test can help determine the stage of cancer may include:Capture X-ray.CT scan of the chest and abdomen.Magnetic resonance (MRI) shooting.Tomography positron emission tomography (PET).The doctor determines the appropriate test. Not everyone needs to each test.When the extent of pleural mesothelioma is determined, a stage is.Stage i: Mesothelioma pleural cancer is considered localized, which means it is limited to a portion of the lining of the chest.Stage II: Mesothelioma may have spread beyond the lining of the chest to the diaphragm or a lung lobe.Stage III: Mesothelioma may have spread to other structures in the chest and may include the lymph nodes nearby.Stage IV: Mesothelioma has spread more widely in the chest. Stage IV may also showed Mesothelioma has spread to distant parts of the body, such as brain and lymph nodes elsewhere in the chest.Official stage not available to mesothelioma types because these types are rare and have yet to be studied.Read more: http://www.dieutri.vn/benhkhac/7-9-2011/S1294/U-trung-bieu-mo.htm # ixzz3xA6QUYsN
