The Diagnosis Of Mesothelioma
Diagnosis of Mesothelioma

The diagnosis of mesothelioma is not always an easy task for doctors and researchers. A diagnosis of mesothelioma is obtained firstly, through the assessment of the patient's medical file, a CT scan (computerized technology) or CAT (computerized axial tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and a biopsy. The scans are followed by a biopsy which is used to confirm the presence of mesothelioma.
The process is known as peritoneoscopy if the tissues are taken from the abdominal cavity. The early detection of mesothelioma depends on the patients' awareness of its presence.
