Mesotheliona Causes : Stage 1A, Cancer is present in the lining of the chest wall (parietal pleura) or in the envelope that covers the lung (visceral pleura) on the same side of the chest as the tumor.
Stage 1B
Cancer is present in the parietal pleura or in the visceral pleura on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It has also spread to at least one of the following structures:
• diaphragm
• lung tissue
OR
Cancer is present in the parietal pleura or in the visceral pleura on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It has invaded at least one of the following structures:
• connective tissue (fascia) forming part of the chest wall
• fat in the space between the lungs
• soft tissue of the chest wall (in one area)
• lining of the heart (pericardium) (without crossing it completely)
✔ Stage 2 Mesotheliona Causes ✆
Cancer is present in the lining of the chest wall or in the envelope that covers the lung on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It may also have invaded at least one of the following structures:
• diaphragm
• lung tissue
The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the chest, on the same side of the body as the tumor.
Stage 3A
Cancer is present in the parietal pleura or in the visceral pleura on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It has invaded at least one of the following structures:
• connective tissue forming part of the chest wall
• fat in the space between the lungs
• soft tissue of the chest wall (in one area)
• lining of the heart (without crossing it completely)
The cancer has also spread to the lymph nodes in the chest, on the same side of the body as the tumor.
→ Stage 3B Mesotheliona Causes ⇨
Cancer is present in the lining of the chest wall or in the envelope that covers the lung on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It may also have invaded at least one of the following structures:
• diaphragm
• lung tissue
• connective tissue forming part of the chest wall
• fat in the space between the lungs
• soft tissue of the chest wall (in one area)
• lining of the heart (without crossing it completely)
The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes on the other side of the chest from the tumor.
OR
Cancer is present in the parietal pleura or in the visceral pleura on the same side of the chest as the tumor. It has also invaded at least one of the following structures:
• chest wall (may also have grown into the ribs)
• peritoneum
• parietal pleura or visceral pleura on the other side of the chest
• esophagus, trachea, heart, or large blood vessels in the space between the lungs (mediastinum)
• bones of the spine (vertebrae)
• spinal cord
• lining of the heart (runs through it)
Stage 4
The cancer has spread to other parts of the body (distant metastasis), such as the lung on the other side of the body, the liver or the bones. It is also referred to as metastatic pleural mesothelioma cancer.
⊛ Mesothelioma recurrence Mesotheliona Causes 🥇
A recurrence of mesothelioma means that the cancer comes back after treatment. It can reappear in a part of the body where mesothelioma starts, such as the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium or the covering covering the testes (vaginal tunica). If it reappears where it first started, it is called a local recurrence. If it reappears in tissues or lymph nodes near where it first started, it is called a regional recurrence. It can also reappear in another part of the body: this is called a recurrence or distant metastasis.
