It gives the info about the various ways of treatment that are available that would be helpful to the people who are affected by the disease.  People who are unaware of the steps to be taken for the disease they are diagnosed are clearly mentioned in e-medicine. E-medicine also gives clear idea about the symptoms and the hospitals and the type of doctor we have to consult for a specific reason are clearly given. Mesothelioma e-medicine means the info about mesothelioma and info about the various treatments that are available all around the world. Patients who are affected by the above mentioned disease can get a wide range of ideas on the type of curing procedures that are available. Treatments that are available in a country may not be available in the other country, hence by mesothelioma e-medicine victims can know about the best treatments that they can get in order to relieve themselves from the disease at ease.

There are number of lawyers and attorneys who are out in the public who fight for the people who are affected by mesthelioma. Public must also be aware of the attorneys who are fond of money and try to prolong the case as long as possible and have money as their motive rather than winning the case for the client and get him or her the necessary benefits for their treatment. People who are affected by mesothelioma have the rights to file case against the companies who are responsible for their illness and made their life jeopardy. Several laws are created in order to register case against the posse which is responsible for the death of people due to the exposure of asbestos since the company work with the product that involve of it even after knowing the ominous due to it. Laws are scripted even to sue the company for its acts and directly or indirectly endangering the lives of the workers who work under their company. Hence people who are affected can fight for their rights.

Certain types of lung cancers are capable of producing hormones that act on organs within the brain (pituitary and hypothalamus) or upon other organs such as the kidneys, adrenal glands, thyroid, ovaries, or testes. Thus ensues in aggregated hormonal reactions. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone results in low levels of sodium in the blood often it is associated with small cell lung cancer and sometimes bronchial carcinoid tumors. The symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle cramps or weakness, nausea, vomiting, restlessness and confusion. Cushing’s syndrome, an overproduction of adrenal hormones by cancerous tissue. The most common symptoms in lung cancer patients are weight loss, fluid retention, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, less common Cushing’s symptoms in lung cancer patients are stretch marks, bone loss, diabetes. Discharge of milk from the nipple in females. Excess levels of growth hormone, possibly results in excessive bone growth or clubbing of fingers. Excess calcitonin secretion is usually symptomless. Excess levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, possibly causing symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as high blood pressure, heat intolerance, hair loss, moodiness, weight loss. Thus lung cancer can be detected with any of the above mentioned symptoms.

Lung cancer can also be detected or predicted with the help of considering the symptoms of other body organs. The nervous system symptoms are easily depicted and analyzed. Some or most of the paraneoplastic syndromes that affect the nervous system appear to be caused by an attack of antibodies against healthy tissue. Antibodies are white blood cell proteins that normally sequester and immobilize foreign tissue such as viruses or bacteria. Lung cancer gives out certain notable changes on nervous system such as cerebellar degeneration resulting in problems with balance or unsteady arm and leg movements. Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) are characterized by muscle weakness and dysfunction, especially in the pelvis and thighs and joint soreness, difficulty in swallowing, and other symptoms resembling myasthenia gravis. Peripheral neuropathy, evidenced by pain, tin-gling, or numbness in hands or feet. Encephalopathy can also be diagnosed, which is an infection or inflammation in the brain. Myelopathy, presenting as bone pain or tenderness of bone marrow and dysfunction of the bowel including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. Rarely, retinopathy is noticed in cancer patients’.

Lung cancer is the most dangerous and widespread cancer in the world. According to stage of the disease, discovery of the cancer cells in the lungs, the treatment procedures are suggested by the doctors. There exists an indication that the process of detection of this type of cancer plays a very important and essential role to avoid serious stages and to reduce its percentage distribution in the world. Imaging techniques are used to provide a better detection procedure of the disease. Image enhancement stage is used to make the image better and to enhance it from noising, corruption or interference, and the methods used are Gabor filters, auto enhancement algorithm, Fast Fourier Transform. After enhancing an image the next preferred stage is image segmentation, it is used to divide or segment the enhanced image, then for applying the algorithms on the ROI of the image the methods used are thresholding approach and marker-controlled watershed segmentation approach. Features Extraction stage is used to obtain the general features in the enhanced segmented image by the following approaches are binarization approach and masking approach. Thus with the help of the exact features, the decision making is done.
