腹膜 癌症
Overview
腹膜 cancer is a rare cancer that develops in the peritoneum, 一个瘦, 腹膜:衬在腹部内壁上的薄层，覆盖子宫并延伸到膀胱和直肠. The peritoneum is made of epithelial cells. 通过产生润滑液, the peritoneum helps the organs to move smoothly inside the abdomen.
腹膜 cancer looks and behaves like 卵巢癌, but the 卵巢 are minimally involved. 在切除卵巢后患上卵巢癌的女性很可能患有腹膜癌.
The surface of the 卵巢 also is made from epithelial cells. 因此, peritoneal cancer and the most common type of 卵巢癌, 叫做上皮癌, produce some of the same 症状 and are often treated in the same way. 除了, women who are at an increased risk of developing 卵巢癌, particularly due to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations, also are at increased risk for peritoneum cancer.
