4 A quiet time bomb Mesothelioma More than 80 to 90% cases of mesothelioma occur because of exposure to asbestos(amocyte and crocidolite are considerably more potent than chrysotile,, and crocidolite is more dangerous than amosite.) In Japan a large quantity of asbestos was imported in 1970 to 1990 as well as in Thailand. It is considered that patient shows symptom of mesothelioma after about 40 years being exposed to asbestos. So, mesothelioma will be considered to occur in high frequency in 2010 to I worry that the same situation will occur in Thailand as well.

8 Mesothelioma A malignant tumor to occur to a body cavity (pleura, peritoneum, peicardium) and tunica vaginalis testis. Pleura Peritoneum Pericardium Tunica vaginalis testis 80~90% 10~20% about 1~ 5% 0.1~ 2% about 80 about 10 about about 0.1 Frequency: man78%>woman >woman22% (Occupation characteristics) Average age: about 60 years old

11 In mesothelioma, body fluid accumulates in early stages because it is derived from the serous membrane different from other malignant tumors. Therfore,, body fluid cytology is very important for early detection and early treatment of mesothelioma. The prognosis of mesothelioma in early stages(stage Ia to Ib) has become better recently because of pleuropulmonary resection Stage 1a: parietal pleura Stage 1b: parietal pleura and visceral pleura Therefore, misdiagnosis for mesothelioma by body fluid cytology in early stages means that the chance of survivals of a patient is lost.

12 Clinical Clinical findings Diagnosis & Therapy (Japan) Asbestos exposure career, a symptom, an image, hyaluronic acid values of effusion 100,000ng/ml ;highly suspicious of mesothelioma Asbestos exposure career: about 40% ( occupation career) Living environment of asbestos exposure should be examined more. Asbestos exposure career: about 40% ( Diagnosis rate by cytology and histology Cytology (body fluid): about 30 to 40% Core Needle biopsy: about 20~80 80% Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy: 98% Cytologists(MD.CT) should make an effort to improve the diagnosis rate by cytology. TherapyTherapy Chemotherapy: Radiotherapy: Operation: 3 years survival rate of pleuroneumonectomy: : about 50% An An early diagnosis and an early treatment of mesothelioma are very important. So, we should study cytology of mesothelioma more seriously!!!

51 Cell transfer method 1. Taking off the cover glass 2.Pasting the mount 3.Softening the mount 4.Taking off the mount &Trimming 5.Transfer 1. Removal of the cover glass: Remove the cover glass with xylene. 2. Pasting the mount: Dilute malinol with xylene two times and apply it to the cell smear surface. Fix the mounted specimen by placing the glass slide on a hot plate at 75 C. Fix the specimen for 30 minutes to allow the malinol membrane to harden. 3. Softening the mount: Place the glass slide in a water bath at approximately 50 C for about 15 minutes to soften the mounting medium. 4. Removal of the mount and trimming: Take out the glass slide from the water bath and trim the softened malinol membrane using a pair of tweezers and a razor. 5. Cell transfer: Mount the trimmed softened malinol membrane to other glass slides. Dry the glass slides on a 75 C hot plate for about 30 minutes. After removing the malinol with xylene, carry out immunocytochemical staining.

67 Mesothelioma 1 General remarks 2 Pathology 3 Cytology 4 6 cases of the mesothelioma diagnosed by cytological materials The utility of cell transfer method and cell block method for immunochemical staining

68 Six cases of mesothelioma within 2 years diagnosed in our department were diffecult to detect only by cytological findings. However, the definite diagnosis of mesothelioma was possible by immunochemical staining for several antibodies using cell transfer method and/or cell block method as well as by electron- microscopical examination. So, I would like to emphasize that the definitive diagnosis of mesothelioma is possible from only aspirated body fluid.
