MESOTHELIOMA LUNG CANCER- DIAGNOSIS USING MANY TECHNIQUES-4-LESSON 99

-


This is the continuation of the lesson mesothelioma diagnosis using many techniques. MEDIASTINOSCOPY TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:  Mediastinoscopy is now and then used to give support to in staging to know the extent of mesothelioma cancer. The distended inflamed nodes appear while by means of imaging techniques.

 LAPAROSCOPY TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:  Laparoscopy technique is used in patients with mesothelioma on the circumstances where imaging techniques put forward potential invasion of the tumor through the diaphragm. This in sequence know how to be imperative in assessing a patient for budding pleurectomy or extrapleural pneumonectomy.

MESOMARK BLOOD TEST TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:  SMRP is extended as Soluble Mesothelin-Related Peptide is a protein or a biomarker is released into the blood of a patient with mesothelioma by the cancer cells. The amount of SMRP in a blood sample is measured. This is an better option to monitor mesothelioma in a patient and to keep an eye on the advancement of a patient by the doctor. The effectiveness of this test is not so high. This is proved by the statistics available yet. This test is not permitted for the early diagnosis of mesothelioma cancer. HUD or Humanitarian Use Device permitted this test to diagnose mesothelioma to be diagnosed earlier with certain conditions.

This test is used to lend a hand to keep an eye on response to treatment for the patients with biphasic malignant and epithelial mesothelioma. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2007 permitted the MESOMARK assay test. In the MESOMARK testing the patient will be taken one or more blood specimens and send it to a national reference laboratory for analysis and decisions concerning the treatment will be after the other clinical and laboratory data obtained.

Coverage of the cost of MESOMARK blood test is not done by insurance. So the patient must pay all the cost. It is better for a patient to check the availability of coverage for MESOMARK with insurance prior to do this test.

In the next lesson we will see about the CARCINOGENESIS. Okay.

Come on.

Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
