Stage 1 Mesothelioma Symptoms And prognosis
Stage 1 mesothelioma is an early stage of disease, in which the tumor is confined to a particular area and has not spread to other parts of the body. Very few cases of mesothelioma are detected in Phase 1, but generally last about 21 months or more.
Like other cancers, mesothelioma is classified using a four-level stage system that indicates the severity and progression of the disease. In stage 1, mesothelioma has begun to develop, and usually the individual has some actual symptoms.
Three staging systems used to classify mesothelioma are similar, but slightly different, the definition of mesothelioma Stage 1:
Butchart System: Tumors are on one side and confined to one area of the mesothelium. Can also be found in the diaphragm, but only on one side.
TNM System: Tumors are on one side of the pleura or pericardium alone and may have spread to the lungs or diaphragm on the same side. There is no lymph node involvement
Brigham Syndrome: This tumor can be operated to remove it. Stage 1 disease is rare, because the latency is very long.
Step 1 is sometimes separated in Steps 1a and Step 1b, depending on the mesothelium disease layer under development.
The most common symptoms of stage 1 mesothelioma are:
Of the four stages of mesothelioma, the first stage has the best prognosis, although it may still have a rather poor prognosis. Life expectancy of patients diagnosed with stage 1 mesothelioma is usually 21 months or older.
The actual life expectancy of certain mesothelioma patients may be highly dependent on their diagnostic specifications, including cell type (histology), location and size of the tumor, as well as the patient's gender, age, and environmental risk

Symptoms of Mesothelioma Stage 1
In most cases, the symptoms of stage 1 mesothelioma are relatively small, because the tumor has not begun to spread. At an advanced stage of the illness, the symptoms will be more pronounced.The most common symptoms of stage 1 mesothelioma are:
- Pain in the body
- Coughing and shortness of breath
- General discomfort in the safe
- Fever
