Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is one of the types of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. The primary risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber that was used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Miner, construction workers shipyard workers, factory workers and veteran employees are at risk the most of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is the protective lining that covers various organs of the body. Most often, mesothelioma maligna is found in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also develop in the linings of the heart or testes (pericardium). Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once popular in American industries because it was affordable and fire-proof. It was used in the construction of homes, buildings, ships, airplanes and automobiles. People who worked on these projects could have been exposed to asbestos when workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma decades after the exposure.
The first symptoms of mesothelioma usually resemble the symptoms of other diseases like lung cancer, which makes it difficult to diagnose. The initial symptoms may include breathing difficulties and chest pain as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, like weight loss and fatigue could develop.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each type has a distinct prognosis. The most commonly used kind is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lung lining and chest cavity (pleura). Other types of mesothelioma are testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each type has its own unique symptoms, but all are characterized by an inflamed and malignant tumor that surrounds vital organs and disrupts their function.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma they will request a biopsy to look for cancerous cells. A sample of the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is discovered the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid Mesothelioma is responsible for 70% to 80% mesothelioma, and is more susceptible. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma represents only 10 percent of mesothelioma patients and has a poorer prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more at risk of developing the disease than others. These include those who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those who have a family history of mesothelioma. Also, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased risk of mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma is found in the tissues that protect and line the internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura) as well as the abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. The exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the risk of developing mesothelioma. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lung.
Asbestos fibers cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time, the cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that happen cause the cells to become malignant and form tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary and include coughing, chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue weight loss, and trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer, and it can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to show. It is often mistaken for other illnesses such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma can be difficult to identify because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to other diseases.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma and asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the mesothelioma's final stages. At this point the doctor will generally inquire about the patient's or her prior exposure to asbestos, and perform an examination. Imaging scans are used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
The physician may also recommend scans for blood and imaging for the chest or abdomen. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, or X-rays. The doctor might also request a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine what kind of mesothelioma the patient is suffering from. The biopsy may be an exploratory procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
When they perform an examination, doctors remove small amounts of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma cases are epithelioid. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and tends to have shorter lives. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a better chance of survival. The biphasic form is a mix of the two first kinds and accounts for between 30% and 40 percent of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma

Those who worked in the construction industry were among those most at risk of being exposed to asbestos lawsuit.
