Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma afflicts the linings of organs internal to them. The most significant risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miners as well as shipyard and factory workers, and veterans are at the most risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is a liner that protects the organs of the body. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma forms in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also form in the linings of the heart or testes (pericardium). About 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma annually. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous substance that was once a popular choice in American industries because it is cheap and fire-resistant. It was used in the construction of cars, homes, and buildings. The people who worked on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after the exposure.
It can be difficult to determine mesothelioma because the first symptoms are similar to those of other diseases such as lung cancer. The initial symptoms may include breathing difficulties, chest pain and an ongoing cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, such as fatigue and weight loss, may appear.
There are four kinds of mesothelioma and each type has a different prognosis. The most common form is pleural, which affects lung linings (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types are testicular, pericardial and peritoneal. Each type has unique symptoms. However each type is characterized by an inflamed malignant tumour that is located around vital organs.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma they may request a biopsy to determine if cancerous cells are present. A tissue sample taken from the affected area is examined with microscope. If cancer is detected patients are diagnosed with epithelioid, or mesothelioma that is sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% all mesothelioma and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma on the other hand, is responsible for less than 10% of all mesothelioma diagnoses and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for 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. In addition, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect internal organs including the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium and over time, cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that happen cause the cells to become malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma differ, but common ones are coughing, chest pain, and breathing difficulties. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea and weight loss as well as difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer, can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years before it begins to show its first symptoms. It is often misinterpreted as other illnesses such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is often difficult to identify because it is a rare condition and its symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Typically doctors do not link mesothelioma to asbestos law 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 doctor might also recommend imaging scans and blood tests for the abdomen or chest. The imaging tests could include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. A biopsy can be requested by a physician to confirm a mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine what type of mesothelioma is present. The biopsy could be an exploratory surgical procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
When they perform the procedure, doctors take out mesothelium in small amounts and search for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma cases are epithelioid. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and tends to have a shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a higher chance of survival. The biphasic form is a mixture of the two primary types and is responsible for between 30% and 40 percent of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It can also occur in the linings of the heart or pericardium. Every year, mesothelioma gets diagnosed in around 3,000 people. It is the only cancer caused by asbestos litigation. Mesothelioma typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral found naturally with heat-resistant properties. It was used for decades in a variety of American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry, where it was used to insulate and protect automobiles, ships, buildings and other items. Those who worked in the construction industry were the most susceptible to exposure to asbestos.
Workers who worked with asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that can cause serious health problems. These fibers can be easily be swallowed or inhaled and irritate the mesothelium. Over time the irritation causes scar tissue to accumulate which can lead to tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma may affect different areas of the body. The most prevalent type of mesothelioma affects the lining in the chest cavity as well as the lung. This is the most common mesothelioma that may cause symptoms such as breathing problems 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 heart's lining and cause unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms may be confused with other diseases. It is crucial to consult your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. Your doctor will conduct physical examinations and may conduct imaging tests to check for any abnormalities. These tests can include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests can help doctors determine if mesothelioma related changes are present in your body.
Although mesothelioma does not transmit, family members of those who have been exposed to asbestos are at a greater risk for developing the disease. This is due to the fact that those who were exposed to asbestos often brought home asbestos law fibers on their clothes hair, skin, and. The asbestos fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. This kind of secondhand exposure is known as secondary asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma

The main risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was utilized in construction and other industries prior to its ban in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibers may be inhaled or ingested. Then, they can become stuck in the lining of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
