What is Desmoplastic Malignant Mesothelioma?

Types of Mesothelioma:

Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that affects the mesothelium, which is a protective lining that covers the organs of the body. The most common type of mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs. Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdomen, while pericardial mesothelioma affects the lining of the heart.

Desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma is a rare subtype of mesothelioma that accounts for only 5% of cases. It is characterized by the growth of fibrous tissue and can be difficult to diagnose. As with other types of mesothelioma, it is most commonly caused by exposure to asbestos.

Symptoms:

The symptoms of desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma are similar to those of other types of mesothelioma and can include:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Persistent cough
• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss

Treatment:

Treatment for desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. However, because this type of cancer is rare and can be difficult to diagnose, it is often not caught until it is in its advanced stages.
