Dayao County of Yunnan Province located in the west of the north of Yunnan Province.It is a typical poverty-stricken county at the national level in China.But in this agricultural county,which has little industrial development,the cancer rate is much higher than that of similar cities.Pleural mesothelioma,a rare cancer,is called"endemic disease" by Dayao residents.The reason is related to the abuse of asbestos in Dayao County in the early years without protective measures.Dayao County is a mining area of blue asbestos resources.Early asbestos utilization rate is high.It is used for making asbestos stoves,paving roads and building houses.In addition to mining,Dayao County is also a natural exposure area of blue asbestos.These factors have affected the high prevalence.Although asbestos has been reduced as a living material in Dayao County in the past decade,and natural exposure to asbestos has been improved by afforestation,the mortality rate of pleural mesothelioma in Dayao County has increased in recent years due to the long latency of mesothelioma,high misdiagnosis rate and insufficient awareness of mesothelioma among residents.In the investigation and study,it was found that there were few reports on the use of mesothelioma or asbestos in Dayao County,which was an urgent topic to be excavated in depth.This article will take the patient as the entry point,through the analysis of the patient's overall situation and individual cases,point out the current situation of Dayao County's pleural mesothelioma,and through the joint discussion of medical staff,experts,scholars and government officials,seek the solution of Dayao County pleural mesothelioma.
