Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is one of the types of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Miners, construction workers, shipyard and factory employees and veterans are at highest danger of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is the liner that protects the organs in the body. Most often, malignant mesothelioma is found in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. However, it also can develop in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. Each year, mesothelioma gets diagnosed in approximately 3,000 Americans. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. asbestos lawsuit is a fibrous material that was once a popular choice in American industries due to its inexpensive and fireproof. It was used to construct houses, buildings, ships, airplanes and automobiles. People who worked on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to these materials can lead to mesothelioma decades after the exposure.
The first signs of mesothelioma typically resemble the symptoms of other diseases such as lung cancer, making it difficult to diagnose. The initial signs include chest pain, trouble breathing, and a constant cough. As the disease progresses, more severe symptoms could emerge, like weight loss and fatigue.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each type has a distinct prognosis. The most common form is pleural, which affects the lung linings (pleura) and chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types are testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each has distinct symptoms. However they all are identified by an inflamed malignant tumor that encircles vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they may request a biopsy to check for the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample taken from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is discovered the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% of mesothelioma, and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma is only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a poorer prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma than others. The asbestos-related workers, veterans of the military and those with mesothelioma-related history are among these groups. People who have had radiation treatments related to asbestos are also at chance of developing mesothelioma.
Signs and symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma occurs in the tissues which protect and line the internal organs. This includes the lung (pleura) as well as the abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. Exposure to asbestos at work increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. This affects the lining of the lung.
Asbestos fibers irritate the mesothelium, and over time, cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that occur cause the cells to become malignant and grow into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary, but they typically include coughing, chest pain and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea weight loss, and difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer it can take anywhere between 10 to 60 years to show its first symptoms. Symptoms are often mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is also difficult to diagnose, because it is not common and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the late stages of mesothelioma. The doctor will ask about the patient's previous asbestos exposure, and then perform an examination. Doctors can use imaging scans to help diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
In addition to a physical exam, the physician may recommend blood tests or imaging scans of the chest and abdomen. Imaging tests could include CT scans, MRIs, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor might also request an examination to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine what type of mesothelioma a patient has. The biopsy could be an exploratory procedure or a minimally-invasive procedure.
When they perform a biopsy, doctors remove mesothelium in small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cells can be either epithelioid, biphasic or sarcomatoid with the two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and is more likely to have shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more receptive to treatment and has a higher chance of survival. The biphasic form is a mixture of the first two types and is responsible for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the lung linings and the abdomen. It can also be found in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Each year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the only cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop following exposure to asbestos claim.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally, has heat-resistant properties. For a long time it was utilized in many American industries due to its affordable and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry where it was employed as a fireproofing and insulating material in buildings, ships, cars, and other products. Workers in the construction industry were the most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who worked with asbestos or took it away were exposed to fibers that are sharp and can cause serious health problems. These fibers can be easily inhaled and swallowed and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes the irritation causes scar tissue, which could result in tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different parts of the body. The most common type of mesothelioma affects the lining of the chest cavity as well as the lungs. It is the most prevalent mesothelioma that may cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining and cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, or digestive issues. It can also affect the linings of the heart, causing distinctive symptoms like chest pains or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms are often confused with other diseases. It is crucial to see your doctor when any of these symptoms appear. Your doctor will perform an examination and order imaging tests to check for abnormalities. These tests can include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests can assist doctors determine if there is any changes within your body that could be caused by mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma may not be contagious but family members of those exposed to asbestos have a higher chance of developing the disease. People who were exposed brought asbestos litigation fibers home on their clothing, hair and skin. These individuals could inhale asbestos fibers. This kind of secondhand exposure is known as secondary asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers, mesothelioma begins when cells in the body become abnormal and begin to expand uncontrollably. They can also reproduce themselves and spread to other parts of the body causing tumors to form.
Asbestos exposure is the main mesothelioma risk factor. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was utilized in the construction industry and other fields prior to its ban in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibers are ingested and inhaled. They can then become lodged in the linings of specific organs, causing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is most common in people who have worked with asbestos case. This includes those who are accountable for removing it or handling it. However blue-collar workers as well as family members of asbestos workers are also at risk. Workers may carry asbestos fibers in their clothes, and family members may breathe asbestos compensation fibers when cleaning their clothing.

Chest pain, difficulty breathing or a recurring cold are all indications. The doctor will ask about your medical background and when you may have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform a chest X ray and a physical exam to determine if you have mesothelioma. Other tests include a computed-tomography scan (CT), positron emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
Your doctor will discuss the treatment options with you in case mesothelioma has been diagnosed. These could include surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Treatment options will vary based on the type of mesothelioma and how far it has advanced.
