Peritoneoscopy is another process of detection of the presence of cancer cells in peritoneal layers are exposed to stomach. The level of people who get affected by a rare type of cancer in the world, but this amount is increasing. One of the dangerous diseases that pose a threat is peritoneal cancer. Researchers who work day after day to come up with measures to remove carcinogenic cells and get cancer patients exposed to be cured permanently.
Cancer is widely known while there is some form of the deadly disease that is rare and occurs in a lower percentage. One such form is peritoneal cancer. This form of cancer affects the lining of the peritoneum consists of serious cavities. This layer is present in the stomach. They bore capillary network rich in blood vessels and lymphatics. Peritoneal neoplasm (early cancer) can be directly derived from the peritoneum or indirectly from other remote organs.
The disease can be treated only if it got diagnosed correctly. The diagnosis is based on symptoms and tests before it is generated. Symptoms in cases of cancer of the peritoneum is quite like ovarian cancer. A number of the primary cancer was reported to have developed from the peritoneum. Ovarian cancer post bilateral oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) mesothelioma, benign papillary peritonealis disseminata, and many others are believed to be derived from the peritoneum.
Excessive blood flow from the vagina, loss of appetite, a feeling of being filled even though the consumption of snacks, constantly vomiting tendency and nausea, abnormal weight loss along with an indication of the cancer affects the peritoneum. Malignant mesotheliomas, cystic mesothelioma, peritoneal carcinoma primary, desmoplastic small round cell tumor is various forms of peritoneal cancer.
As one matures and illness grows older, more aggressive and profound symptoms. Diagnosis of disease can be done in many ways very well with x-rays or CT scan alternative. There is treatment of peritoneal cancer. Common and traditional is radioscopy and chemotherapy. Regional chemotherapy is used when it is still in the early stages of the disease and localized in origin. Peritonectomy are operations that can be put to use only when the initial diagnosis.
The problem with this type of cancer is that it will be detected at a later stage and therefore the time patients get too weak to even get chemotherapies. Physicians concentrate on alleviating the pain, dealing with body weight and try to ease out the discomfort. One type of discomfort is caused by accumulation of fluid in the body that can be taken out through abdominal paracentesis.
Sometimes chemical pleurodesis is done to prevent a recurrence. Research continues and a one-day medical science will be able to eradicate the disease from the face of the world. One way of treating peritoneal mesothelioma called "intracavitary chemotherapy," which allows doctors to give a higher dose, targeted chemotherapy directly into the abdomen with fewer side effects than conventional intravenous chemotherapy.
After chemotherapy is completed, the patient undergoes a second surgery during which time any remaining tumor tissue is removed, the port will be deleted, and the final dose of chemotherapy to high temperatures are applied. Findings from clinical trials assessing the treatment showed that overall survival for patients receiving this therapy is 55 months, with 45 percent of patients live for at least five years.
Oncologists are trying to come up with some medicines to prevent and cure by means of a peritoneoscopy. Patients who qualify for treatment of abdominal peritoneoscopy to undergo surgery to remove cancerous tissue, followed by the inclusion of two ports one on each side of the front part of the body, under the ribs. They then received doxorubicin and cisplatin and periodic gamma interferon through the port over the next 12 weeks.
