| Resumen: |
Este libro abarca todas las áreas de atención, tratamiento e investigación del mesotelioma. Utilizando enfermeras, trabajadores sociales, cirujanos, oncólogos, radiólogos y especialistas en dolor para brindar al lector una descripción general completa del tratamiento del mesotelioma. De hecho, el mesotelioma es un cáncer que afecta principalmente a la pleura y al peritoneo, generalmente causado por la exposición al amianto. El número de personas diagnosticadas con mesotelioma está aumentando en todo el mundo, particularmente en los paÃses en desarrollo donde el uso de amianto sigue sin estar controlado. A pesar de los avances en quimioterapia, radioterapia y abordajes quirúrgicos, el mesotelioma sigue siendo resistente al tratamiento. Según el grupo de interés internacional sobre mesotelioma, la supervivencia general no ha mejorado; Los tiempos medios de supervivencia varÃan de un mes a dieciocho meses. Un pequeño número de pacientes permanecen asintomáticos o con sÃntomas mÃnimos durante perÃodos prolongados, y menos viven tres años o más. El mesotelioma a menudo se asocia con sÃntomas difÃciles e intratables, particularmente dolor y dificultad para respirar. Se han informado pronósticos especialmente malos para aquellos diagnosticados con histologÃa sarcomatoide en lugar de epitelioide, o con enfermedad avanzada, estado funcional deficiente o dolor y pérdida de apetito. A pesar de los avances sustanciales de las últimas dos décadas en la mejora de la calidad de vida de los pacientes con cáncer, muchos pacientes con mesotelioma todavÃa experimentan cargas fÃsicas, psicológicas, sociales y financieras. El desarrollo de centros de tratamiento multimodal y de mesotelioma ha dado renovadas esperanzas a los pacientes. Este libro sirve como una herramienta única para los profesionales médicos al tiempo que brinda atención a los pacientes con mesotelioma. |

| Summary : |
This book encompasses all areas for mesothelioma care, treatment, and research. Using nurses, social workers, surgeons, oncologist, radiologist and pain specialist to give the reader a comprehensive overview of mesothelioma treatment. Indeed, mesothelioma is a cancer that mainly affects the pleura and peritoneum, usually caused by exposure to asbestos. The number of individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma is increasing world-wide, particularly in developing countries where the use of asbestos remains uncontrolled. In spite of advances in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical approaches, mesothelioma remains resistant to treatment. According to the International Mesothelioma Interest group, overall survival has not improved; median survival times vary from one month to eighteen months. A small number of patients remain asymptomatic or with minimal symptoms for extended periods, and fewer live three years or more. Mesothelioma is often associated with difficult, intractable symptoms, particularly pain and difficulty breathing. Especially poor prognoses have been reported for those diagnosed with sarcomatoid rather than epithelioid histology, or with advanced disease, poor performance status, or pain and loss of appetite. Despite substantial progress of the last two decades improving the quality of life of patients with cancer, many mesothelioma patients still experience physical, psychological, social, and financial burdens. The development of multimodality treatment and mesothelioma centers has given renewed hope to patients. This book serves as a unique tool for medical professional while providing care for mesothelioma patients. |
