MMesothelioma Diagnosis Pictures
A proper diagnosis is essential to a treatment plan.
The doctor may look inside the chest cavity with a special instrument called a thoracoscope. A cut will be made through the chest wall and the thoracoscope will be put into the chest between two ribs. This test, called thoracoscopy, is usually done in the hospital. Before the test, the patient will be given a local anesthetic (a drug that causes a loss of feeling for a short period of time). Some pressure may be felt, but usually there is no pain. Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed asbestos."
