Malignt peritonealt mesoteliom er en sjælden sygdom

Translated title of the contribution: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease.

Abstract

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is characterized by diffuse symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, weight loss, anorexia, fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and ascites. The findings by radiographic imaging are unspecific and the diagnosis is therefore often first achieved by biopsy from the affected area. Although treatment with chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery has improved the survival prognosis for the patients is poor with a median survival of 38 month.
