腹膜 癌症
Overview
腹膜癌是一种发生在腹膜的罕见癌症, 一个瘦, delicate sheet that lines the inside wall of the abdomen and covers the uterus and extends over the bladder and rectum. 腹膜由上皮细胞构成. 通过产生润滑液, 腹膜帮助器官在腹部内顺利移动.
腹膜癌的外观和行为像 卵巢癌,但卵巢受影响最小. Women who develop 卵巢癌 after having had their 卵巢 previously removed likely have peritoneal cancer.
卵巢的表面也是由上皮细胞构成的. 因此, 腹膜癌和最常见的卵巢癌, 叫做上皮癌, 产生一些相同的症状,通常以相同的方式治疗. 除了, 患卵巢癌风险增加的女性, 特别是由于BRCA1和BRCA2基因突变, 患腹膜癌的风险也会增加.

迹象 & 症状
In its earliest stages, 症状 for peritoneum cancer can be very vague and difficult to spot. Like 卵巢癌, the condition often does not produce any 症状 until late in its development. When 症状 of peritoneum cancer do develop, they are similar to those of 卵巢癌. 症状可能包括:
- 全身腹部不适和疼痛, 比如气体, 消化不良, 压力, 肿胀, 腹胀或抽筋
- 恶心、腹泻、便秘、尿频
- 食欲不振
- 即使吃了一顿便饭也觉得饱
- 不明原因的体重增加或减少
- 阴道异常出血
诊断
在诊断腹膜癌时, 你的十大赌博平台排行榜会首先询问你可能遇到的任何症状, as well as reviewing your medical history and conducting a thorough physical exam. 还可以进行以下测试:
- 骨盆检查. 这个检查包括摸子宫, 阴道, 卵巢, 输卵管, 检查膀胱和直肠的形状和大小是否有异常.
- 超声波. 这是指使用 高频声波 这是针对卵巢的. 它们产生的回声模式形成了一幅叫做声波图的图像. Healthy tissues, fluid-filled cysts and tumors look different on this picture.
- ca - 125试验. 这是一种用来测量CA-125水平的血液测试, a tumor marker that is often found in higher-than-normal amounts in the blood of women with 卵巢癌 or peritoneal cancer.
- 计算机断层扫描(CT). 这是一个 系列详图 由一台与x光机相连的计算机生成的人体内部区域的图像.
- 下消化道系列或钡灌肠. 这是一个 x射线系列 结肠和直肠. 这些照片是在病人被灌肠后拍摄的, 含钡的白垩溶液, x光片上结肠和直肠的轮廓, 使肿瘤或其他异常区域更容易被发现.
- 活组织检查. 这 测试 involves removing tissue from the suspected area for examination under a microscope. 病理学家研究组织以作出诊断. To obtain the tissue, the surgeon performs a laparotomy, an operation to open the abdomen. If cancer is suspected, the surgeon may perform an oophorectomy, where the entire ovary is removed. 偶尔进行针活检, 但如果计划手术,通常不会对卵巢肿瘤进行这种治疗.
治疗
Treatment for peritoneum cancer will depend on a number of factors, including:
- 你的癌症的阶段,或者它有多严重
- How extensively your cancer has metastasized, or spread to other parts of the body
- 您的总体健康状况
You and your doctor will work together to develop the most effective treatment plan that best meets your needs.
Treatment for peritoneum cancer may include combinations of the following approaches:
手术
手术 may be used to diagnose and treat peritoneum cancer if the place where the cancer first started to grow is unclear, 或者如果你有盆腔肿块. 这个过程被称为探查手术, during which the tumor is removed from the lining of the abdomen where the cancer has started to grow.
化疗
化疗使用抗癌药物,通常注射到静脉中. The drugs used for peritoneum cancer are similar to those anti-cancer drugs used for treating 卵巢癌. 取决于所使用的化疗药物的类型, 这种治疗可以每周或每两到三周进行一次. 在大多数情况下,患者接受门诊治疗.
支持性护理
Unfortunately, in some cases, peritoneum cancer is not diagnosed until it has advanced. 支持性护理,也被称为 姑息治疗, is designed for patients whose disease has advanced to the point where they are too ill to cope with intensive chemotherapy.
支持性护理旨在缓解腹膜癌的症状, 比如疼痛, 体重减轻,腹部积液, 在一个叫做腹腔穿刺的过程中,哪些可以排出.
