Differences Between Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer


Written by azliyana on Friday, November 30, 2007

Hi everyone,

This is a new thing and it is very important to know. Actually and is not a same disease. Although mesothelioma and lung cancer are both serious illnesses, there are differences between of them. I have got this info from this site http://www.mesotheliomanews.com/medical/differences-between-mesothelioma-and-lung-cancer . After I known this issue, I have trying to get more info about Mesothelioma and Lung cancer. It is really weird for me. As I was known, Mesothelioma is a diffuse malignancy. One of Mesothelioma types is – It is also called “asbestos lung cancer” – and it is really not a form of lung cancer, but a cancer of the lining that surrounds the lung.

Okay, I’m not sure whether you are interested or not. But it was gave me a new knowledge. When I’m reading this issue in one of that site, I have got the main difference between lung cancer and mesothelioma. The difference is that lung cancer is in the tissue of the lung. By the way, pleural mesothelioma occurs in the lining around the lung. Is it right?

How is about Lung Cancer? Actually Lung cancer works differently. I don’t know how to elaborate it because my languange is too limited. So, I’m just took these informative sentences and wrote here:

Lung cancer works differently. It arises within the lungs themselves and is characterized by individualized tumor masses. Even for people with multiple masses, the tumors generally possess clear boundaries. The tumors can grow quite large and in its late stages and most aggressive forms, lung cancer is just as deadly as mesothelioma. However, it is much more amenable to treatment than mesothelioma is. Because of the individualized natures of its tumors, it is possible to completely remove all visible malignant tissue. Chemotherapy and radiation are more effective treatment modalities as well. None of this is to say that lung cancer is not a serious diagnosis, because it is a deadly serious disease. It is simply to draw a clear difference between lung cancer and mesothelioma.


In fact, there is another difference between Lung cancer and mesothelioma lung cancer. Huh, I don’t think so. Loll...Anyway; it’s still a reality situation that is a causative factor for mesothelioma while lung cancer can be caused by other agents like cigarette smoking. The differences are related to the symptom or causes of this disease.

Regarding to the report and news from or Lung cancer’s authority sites, there’s also had differences in the incidence rates between the two diseases. As we known, mesothelioma is a rare disorder than Lung cancer. It’s just affecting about three thousand people per year. However has a diagnostic rate 65 times greater than mesothelioma with nearly 200,000 yearly diagnose.
Wow! It’s not a bit of amount in ourlife .For those who are smoker. Remember. We have a lot of responsibilities to take action before we die. But, most of us aren’t aware with this dangerous situation. Please remind ourselves to avoid or not to life with a smoking lifestyle. It’s still depending to us to determine our own way in this life. Thanks
