Overview
Other diagnostic studies for mesothelioma include laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, pleuroscopy, biopsy, position emission tomography scan, and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Laparoscopy, Thoracoscopy, and Pleuroscopy
- Thoracoscopy or pleuroscopy may help in the diagnosis of mesothelioma.[1][2][3][4][1]
- Laparoscopy may be used to diagnose and treat selected cases of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma associated with pelvic endometriosis.[5]
Biopsy
- Biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis of mesothelioma.[2]
- Procedures performed for biopsy may include:[2]
Position Emission Tomography
- Positron emission tomography is becoming useful in two clinical settings:[3]
- In addition, there appears to be a correlation between the degree of FDG uptake and the biological aggressiveness of the tumor, which may help to guide treatment.[3]
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
- FISH may be helpful in the diagnosis of mesothelioma. It helps in distinguishing malignant mesothelioma from reactive mesothelial cells in effusions.[4]
- Mutlitarget FISH assay may be used to detect chromosomal abberations (chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and 9p21).
- FISH technique may also be used to explore the alternative mechanism of tumor suppressor gene inactivation by methylation of p16, p14, and p15 gene in the pathogenesis of mesothelioma.[4]
