High incidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma in Australia

Australia has the highest per capita rate of mesothelioma cases. The worst, experts say, is yet to come, the majority of mesothelioma cases in Australia are of the type malignant pleural mesothelioma. The majority of cases have taken the disease from exposure to asbestos under contract. When asbestos fibers or asbestos dust is inhaled through the nose and moves down through the respiratory system. Then settles in the lungs. The lungs have a feed like this the mesothelium lining. If this food comes into contact with asbestos fibers, it starts behaving in a funny way.

It starts fast and Division, it also starts with a long life. This leads to tumors in the lungs and this condition is known as pleural mesothelioma. This may cause cancer) (malignant pleural mesothelioma or non-cancer (benign pleural mesothelioma). Australia has a very high number of malignant pleural mesothelioma> Mesothelioma cases. This is a very terrible state and has no cure. Because the symptoms of this disease, including fever, cough, chest pain, etc. are often confused for other illnesses such as pneumonia, it is quite difficult to correctly diagnose this disease.

It is usually diagnosed only in the last stages of cancer. The patient lived almost a year after the diagnosis. Also, the latency period is very long from this disease. Latency is the time between exposure toAsbestos and the occurrence of this disease. Bound, given the long latency period of about 20 to 30 years, many times this disease is not spoken as asbestos. Australia has affected approximately 16 cases per million population of adults with mesothelioma every year. In addition, the number of mesothelioma cases among men is significantly higher than in women. Some 600 cases of mesothelioma are recorded each year in Australia. It is expected that within the next 10-15 years, some 13,000 be recorded more mesothelioma cases.

It is a high-risk group in Australia. The following people in Australia seem to be more mesothelioma compared to rest of the population:

• City residents

• building owners and building workers

• The workers of shipbuilding and shipyard

• Railway

• Asbestos Workers

• power plant employees.

Although Australia has such a high frequency of> Mesothelioma-related deaths in Australia is the pioneer in many companies in the medical research into mesothelioma. It has a new method of treatment that promises to reduce mortality to be found. Since there is no cure for this disease, it is better if detected early. The usual methods of treatment such as chemotherapy and surgery did not work in the last stages of cancer, so it is better if the disease is detected early as possible. The Australian researchers have invented anew screening test that you can enter in the detection of malignant pleural mesothelioma. This can be used in high-risk group to identify early evidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better the survival chances of the patient. The Australian researchers who are more and more research is in the medical area of mesothelioma. Australia is a true pioneer in the research mesothelioma. Is aLeader and role model for all other countries. Although Australia has so much to advance mesothelioma research, nor the future of Australia is done so bleak.

It is expected that the number of mesothelioma deaths in Australia will continue to soar until 2020. Thereafter it is expected that mesothelioma deaths continue to stop before it is finally back. This is mainly due to the long latency period of mesothelioma. So, even after allTypes of asbestos completely banned, the effects of exposure to asbestos can be felt only later about 20 to 30 years. The only advantage of all the research is that the chances of survival for mesothelioma patients have increased.

Even the life of the patient after the detection of the disease increased. Previously, the patient had little to live for a year. But now, through early diagnosis, has increased substantially. Australia should commit to continuemore research on mesothelioma for the global good. You should try to make the medical science advance to new innovations in the treatment of mesothelioma. All other countries actively support and help Australia's efforts. Australia should also make available the fruits of their efforts for the whole wide world.
