Malignant Mesothelioma is a tumor associated with exposure
to mineral fibers such as asbestos and erionite. 1 In spite of stringent
regulations introduced in the 1970s and 80s to limit asbestos exposure, the
incidence of Malignant Mesothelioma reached 3,200 cases per year in the US in
2003 and it has remained stable since then. 2 The incidence of Malignant
Mesothelioma has also sharply increased worldwide over the past 50 years. 1
Ty Bollinger is a happily married husband, the father of four wonderful children,
devoted Christian, best-selling author, medical researcher, talk radio host,
health freedom advocate, former competitive bodybuilder and also a certified
public accountant.After losing several family members to cancer (including his
mother and father), Ty refused to accept the notion that chemotherapy,
radiation, and surgery were the most effective treatments available for cancer
patients. He began a quest to learn all he possibly could about alternative
cancer treatments and the medical industry. Ty has now made it his life mission
to share the most remarkable discovery he made on his quest: the vast majority
of all diseases (including cancer) can be easily prevented and even cured
without drugs or surgery.Ty speaks frequently to health groups, at seminars,
expos, conferences, churches, and is a regular guest on multiple radio shows
and writes for numerous magazines and websites. Speaking from personal
experience and extensive research, Ty has touched the hearts and changed the
lives of thousands of people around the world.
Other causes of malignant hypertension include any form of secondary
hypertension; complications of pregnancy; use of cocaine, monoamine oxidase
inhibitors (MAOIs), or oral contraceptives; and the withdrawal of alcohol, beta
blockers, or alpha stimulants. Renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma (most
pheochromocytomas can be localized by using computed tomography of the
adrenals), aortic coarctation, and hyperaldosteronism are also secondary causes
of hypertension. In addition, both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause
hypertension.
The earliest signs of malignant mesothelioma include chest pain, difficulty
breathing, shortness of breath, chronic cough, or difficulty swallowing.
However, because these symptoms are also associated with other conditions,
further diagnostic procedures are usually required to make an accurate
diagnosis.
Surgery can be a scary situation, but for many individuals with aggressive
malignant tumors, it can be a lifesaver. Depending on the type and stage of the
cancer (stages 0-4, with 4 being the most serious), surgery may be the only
form of treatment a person receives. The surgeon will remove the tumor and some
of the surrounding tissue.
Self-enhancement is a prominent feature of narcissistic personality disorder,
regardless of the dimension. They view themselves in an overly positive
light and believe they are unique and superior to others. In a meta-analysis
review, researchers Grijalva and Zhang explored the insight of individuals
with narcissistic personality disorder. The studies supported that people high
in narcissism tend to over-estimate or exaggerate their abilities, status (for
example, intelligence), and looks, more than could be supported by reality.
A tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that has formed a lump. It’s called a
benign tumor if it grows slowly and is self-limiting; that is, if it doesn’t
have the capacity to invade nearby tissues and spread beyond its original site.
Pathologists can classify a tumor as a benign tumor or a malignant tumor by
examining biopsy samples of a tumor. A malignant, or cancerous, tumor, on the
other hand, is innately dangerous because its cells can divide uncontrollably
and produce virtually immortal daughter cells. Malignant tumor cells can
penetrate and destroy adjacent tissue, and can metastasize, or travel through the
circulation to distant parts of the body and form new tumors. By examining
biopsy samples of a tumor using a microscope and molecular tests, pathologists
can classify the tumor as benign or malignant, says Keith Ligon, MD, PhD, of
the Center for Molecular Oncologic Pathology at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s
Cancer Center. They further classify the tumor cells according to “grade,” or
degree of aggressiveness. “The overall goal is to try and predict how the tumor
will behave and what treatment the patient will need,” explains Ligon. Often,
benign tumors need no treatment, but they can become dangerous if they grow
large enough to press on vital organs, blood vessels or nerves. In such cases
they are generally removed through surgery, which also allows pathologists to
confirm that they are not malignant. Some lesions — sores or plaques of
abnormal cells — and benign tumors have the potential to become malignant.
These are known as “precancerous” or “dysplastic” tumors, and contain large
numbers of primitive, abnormally shaped cells. Examples are precancerous polyps
in the colon, growths in the cervix caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV),
and dysplastic growths in the mouth and lungs. These may progress to cancer
when some of the tumor cells undergo genetic changes such as mutations that
give them malignant properties. Meningiomas are a type of brain tumor that are
generally benign but can become malignant. Dana-Farber researchers recently
found mutations in meningiomas that are potential targets for drug
therapy.
