These are the common symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma.But in some cases peritoneal mesothelioma is found incidentally when the patient has sought help for another health problem such as gallbladder, hernia or pelvic mass.So symptoms may vary from person to person in case of peritoneal mesothelioma.

Doctors says that patient experience symptoms 6 months to 2 years before diagnosis.Late-stage peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms include bowel obstruction and increased tendency of the blood to clot.Anemia and low albemin level are also late symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma.

Various Stages Of Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Currently there is no established staging system for peritoneal mesothelioma.But in accordance with TNM system peritoneal mesothelioma is classified into different stages.

First stage shows localized lesion able to be completely removed.In the second category of peritoneal mesotheliom include,the disease is contained with abdominal cavity on peritoneal and organ surfaces where debulking (the removal of as much, but not all of the tumor) is possible.

Some mesothelioma specialist explained that peritoneal mesothelioma can be classifid into four stages.The least or beginning or stage 1 include when the tumor has not spread and can be completely removed from surgery.THe next stage is when cancer cells are spread to periconal and organ surfaces.And treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma for this stage by surgery will result only in debulking of tumor.Malignant tissue cannot be removed by surgery.The last or most deadly part of peritoneal mesothelioma is when the cancers cells spread to other internal organs like lymph nodes.This is the last stage of peritoneal mesothelioma and is difficult to treat.

  1. I'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations.
