The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 50 to 75 years (called an âAâ recommendation). The USPSTF recommends an individualized decision regarding screening in adults aged 76 to 85 years based on overall health and screening history (âCâ recommendation).
Pleural mesothelioma, which affects the tissue that surrounds the lungs, causes signs and symptoms that may include: 1  Chest pain under the rib cage. 2  Painful coughing. 3  Shortness of breath.  Unusual lumps of tissue under the skin on your chest.
This, incidentally is not to say that mesothelioma victims do not suffer from pneumothorax. Any condition that weakens the lung, including lung cancer, can cause the lung to collapse. It is only to say that the early symptoms of mesothelioma can be mistaken for pneumothorax.
