ABDOMINAL MESOTHELIOMA

Abdominal mesothelioma is better known as peritoneal mesothelioma and is a rare form of cancer. The total number of cases per year in the US is estimated between 100-500 cases, with the majority of the cases being in men. Most of these cases still were exposed to asbestos. There is no genetic, dietary, employment or geographic associations being reported other than to say that the upper mid west has seen more cases. This type of cancer is unusual in that it demonstrates a wide spectrum of aggressiveness.

The cystic variant of the mesothelium may cause recurrent episodes of severe lower abdominal pain but not result in death for many years. Aggressive mesothelioma in the abdomen will metastases from the peritoneal surface to the lymph nodes much easier than some of its sister cancers. If this aggressive cancer metastases in surgery it could be fatal. Patients that are diagnosed as having this malignant form of cancer are done so by histological and immunocytochemical studies. When a patient finally decides to see their physician it is often times too late. They come to their Dr and present a large volume of ascites. The wide spread progression of malignant cells on peritoneal surfaces results in copious fluid production. When this happens the space becomes a free conduit for mesothelioma cells to migrate and grow. In the production of this ascites fluid the cancer cells provide themselves with a carrier solution to disseminate throughout the abdominal and pelvic spaces.
