Continuing with the first part.
If it is doubtful effusions of an infection or cancer, a sample of fluid can provide the key to whether the cause is benign or malignant. However, four of the five tests can miss cancer. Finally, pleural needle biopsy or surgical procedure to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma.
for abdominal mesothelioma, abdominal x-ray checks of fluid in the abdomen.

...drain the fluid made a needle in the chest and abdomen. name is thoracocentesis or pleural aspiration of the chest and abdoparacentesis or peritoneal aspiration in the stomach.

...Thoracoscopy is a procedure where the surgeon makes a small incision in the chest wall between two ribs and looking through the thoracoscope (a tool with a video camera). a biopsy (tissue sample) goes to the lab for testing cancer cells.
Bronchoscopy allows doctors to look inside the airways. a thin flexible tube (bronchoscope) helps to get tissue samples and sent them to send for laboratory testing for cancer cells.
mediastinoscopy checked the mediastinum (the space in the chest containing the heart, large blood vessels, lymph nodes, esophagus, nerves, etc.). Mediastinoscopy allows sampling of lymph nodes in the body to look for metastases.

......Doctors and scientists have also suggested an immune-making to find a mesothelioma, but most markers are not very specific. Just to mention: Epithelial membrane antigen, CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen √ very nonspecific, it can happen in many different types of cancer), Calretinin, Mesothelin, cytokeratin, osteopontin and other
.So, to recap, the tests used by doctors:
* X-rays
* CT
* Thoracocentesis
* paracentesis
* Thoracoscopy
* Bronchoscopy
* MRI scan
* mediastinoscopy
* Laparoscopy
* All types of biopsies
Diagnosis is made after careful assessment of complaints, physical examination and recording of the biopsy.
Key words: Diagnosis, asbestos cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, mesothelioma symptoms, peritoneal mesothelioma, lung cancer
