Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the lining of internal organs. Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber used in a variety of 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 a protective lining that covers various organs in the body. Most often, mesothelioma maligna forms in the lung (pleura) and abdomen. It can also form in the linings of the heart or in the testes (pericardium). Every year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand Americans. The exposure to asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos was once a popular fibrous material in American industries due to its low cost and fire resistance. It was used to build automobiles, homes, and structures. Workers who handled, removed or cut the material may have been exposed. Exposure to these chemicals could result in mesothelioma a few decades after exposure.
The first symptoms of mesothelioma typically resemble the symptoms of other diseases like lung cancer, making it difficult to diagnose. Early symptoms include difficulty breathing and chest pain as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, such as weight loss and fatigue could develop.
There are four types of mesothelioma and each type has an individual prognosis. The most commonly used type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types include testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each has distinct symptoms. However each type is characterized by an inflamed malignant tumor that surrounds the vital organs.
If a doctor suspects mesothelioma lawsuits, they will request a biopsy to determine if cancerous cells are present. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is discovered and the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% all mesothelioma and is more susceptible. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma represents only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a worse prognosis.
Anyone who has come in contact with asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more at risk of developing the disease than others. Workers in asbestos or military environments, veterans of the military and those who have mesothelioma-related history are among these groups. In addition, those who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased chance of developing mesothelioma.
Signs and symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma develops in the tissue that line and protect organs inside such as the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The chance of developing mesothelioma is increased when asbestos is exposed during work. Pleural mesothelioma is by far the most frequent mesothelioma. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to mesothelium. As time passes, cells become damaged and genetic changes make them malignant. Tumors form. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary and can include coughing chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer and it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to appear. Most of the time, the symptoms are mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is not easy to identify because it is a rare condition and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the end-stages of mesothelioma. The doctor will ask about the patient's previous asbestos exposure and conduct a physical exam. Doctors can use imaging scans to help diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
In addition to a physical examination the doctor might also suggest blood tests or imaging scans of the chest and abdomen. The imaging tests may include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor could also recommend a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine the kind of mesothelioma that patient is suffering from. The biopsy can be an exploratory surgical procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During a biopsy, doctors remove mesothelium in small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cells can be epithelioid or sarcomatoid or biphasic, with the first two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a superior prognosis. The biphasic form is a mixture of the two types and accounts for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma lawsuits diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma typically occurs in the linings of the lungs and abdomen. It can also occur in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. About 3000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma lawsuits every year. It is the only cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral found naturally with heat-resistant properties. It was used for decades in many American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, as it was employed to insulate and strengthen buildings, ships, automobiles and other items. Those who worked in the construction industry were the most at risk of being exposed to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that can cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily swallowed and inhaled and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes the irritation causes scar tissue to grow, leading to tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different areas of the body. The most common mesothelioma is one that affects the lining in the chest cavity and the lung. This is the most common mesothelioma type and can cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity causing symptoms such as pain, swelling, or digestive problems. It can also affect the lining of the heart which can cause unusual symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Because mesothelioma may be mistaken for other diseases so it is crucial to consult your doctor if you exhibit any symptoms or signs. Your doctor will do an examination and physical exam. They may also order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests will help doctors determine if mesothelioma-related changes are evident within your body.
Mesothelioma might not be contagious but family members of those exposed to asbestos have a higher risk of developing the disease. Workers who were exposed brought asbestos fibers home on their clothes, hair and skin. These individuals could inhale asbestos fibers. Secondary asbestos exposure is the term used to describe this type of asbestos exposure secondhand.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers, mesothelioma begins when cells in the body develop abnormalities and begin to grow uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body, causing tumors to develop.
The primary risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was a mineral that was fibrous employed in construction, and other industries, prior to when it was banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibers may be inhaled or consumed. They may then get trapped in the lining of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is most common in those who have been exposed to asbestos. This includes those who are responsible for removing or handling it. Blue-collar employees, and even family members of asbestos workers are at risk. Workers could bring asbestos fibers back home on their clothes. Family members can breathe in asbestos fibers as they clean their clothes.
Although mesothelioma is rare, it is important to consult a doctor for any symptoms that could be related to the condition. This includes chest pain, breathing problems or an ongoing cough. The doctor will inquire about your medical history and whether you've ever been exposed to asbestos. They'll also conduct physical examination and chest X-ray to check for signs of mesothelioma. Other tests include computed-tomography scan (CT), positron emission tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
If mesothelioma is found to be a cancerous tumor, your doctor will talk with you about the treatment options. These might include surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. The type of mesothelioma and how far it has progressed will determine which treatments are available.
The right treatment can improve the odds of survival even though there is no cure. Download your free Mesothelioma Guide to find out more about the disease and the treatment options available.
