The non-specific symptoms make it difficult for even experienced doctors, to make a quick and clear diagnosis with mesothelioma patients. Even people who exposed to begin asbestos the manifestation of late in their lives. The time of mesothelioma diagnosed, it is already widely used. But awareness of mesothelioma detected it people in early stages.

Benign type of mesothelioma usually not manifesting. On the other hand, severe symptoms are malignant mesothelioma. It is above all to the pressure on the surrounding soft tissues. The tissue surrounding hypercalcemia can penetrate or lead pleural or pericardial effusion. Invasion of the chest wall lead to chest pain.

Under all types of mesothelioma, pleural form is the most common form. As a result, the pleural mesothelioma symptoms are the most common symptoms of mesothelioma. When in early stages, the symptoms are more or less like pneumonia and therefore often misdiagnosed. However these symptoms along with history of the risks related to asbestos ring alarms for mesothelioma. Doctors deliberately typically the first contact should be obtained with the patients.
Pleural mesothelioma
Shortness of breath or shortness of breath with chest pain is a common manifestation of pleural mesothelioma.

These symptoms result from tumors to that lean against the abdominal wall. Mesothelioma in peritoneum, due to its space occupy tendency may cause bowel obstruction, anemia, fever and problems with blood clotting.
Pericardial mesothelioma
Pericardial mesothelioma is a very unusual form of pericardium influence. Pericardium is the space between the panels of the heart. The tumor growing in the tissues around heart tends to spread from there. Pericardial mesothelioma patients may experience pain in the chest, shortness of breath, persistent coughing and palpitations. Participation of the membrane around the heart (pericardium) can cause heart rhythm disorders.
The symptoms for all types of mesothelioma are always acute and obvious with the progression of the disease. Despite the it can be confused it as other disease condition. The only competition takeoff feature is the history of asbestos exposure. Therefore, it is important that comes of asbestos exposure to investigate. Symptoms such as pain in the lower back or side of the chest, shortness of breath breath, difficulty in swallowing, coughing, fever, sweating, fatigue and weight loss may be very common, but the doctor should explain exclude the history of asbestos exposure in the presence of tumor.
