Mesothelioma Cancer
Mesothelioma which is a cancerous tumor caused by asbestos exposure is a serious condition. Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause pleural tumors, and swallowing asbestos can cause peritoneal cancer.
Symptoms may mimic symptoms of less serious illnesses. They can take anywhere from 10 to 50 years to appear. The symptoms include breathlessness, abdominal pain, and chest pain.
Risk Factors
Asbestos fibres can cause mesothelioma. The most common mesothelioma type is mesothelioma that is found in the chest cavity's lining and lungs. The most common form of mesothelioma is in the peritoneum or in the membrane around the heart (pericardium). The cancer can take up to 50 years to develop before it manifests symptoms. These symptoms are often misinterpreted as flu-like symptoms. Mesothelioma is most often found in older people, and it is more prevalent in males than women.
The exposure to asbestos is the biggest risk factor for mesothelioma. Asbestos, a natural mineral made up of tiny fibres, was employed as a building material, for example, in walls and ceilings. It is impervious to fire and heat. It was also extensively used in the manufacturing of goods such as pipes, insulation, shingles and cement. Workers in industries where asbestos was common like construction, mining or shipbuilding are at risk of developing mesothelioma. However even those who experienced secondary exposure like relatives who brought home asbestos on their clothes and skin, are at risk.
A small proportion of mesothelioma cases are linked to a mutation in the gene called BAP1. This genetic change increases the chance of developing mesothelioma in people who have been exposed to asbestos.
Age is another significant risk factor for mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is most common in people over 45 years old and two-thirds of those who are diagnosed with it are 65 years old or older. This is due to the long time between exposure to asbestos. However it is also possible that older people are more likely to develop the disease due to the long exposure.
Mesothelioma is more prevalent in white males than females or people of any other race. This is because historically, more white men worked in jobs that put them at a higher risk of asbestos exposure than other groups. Mesothelioma most commonly affects those who were exposed asbestos before the 1980s, a time when more strict regulations were in place.
Symptoms
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is caused by asbestos attorney, is found in the protective linings of many organs. The cancerous tumors that form in the tissue could cause irreparable damage and pain. The malignancy can expand to other areas through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
The symptoms of mesothelioma can be similar to those of other illnesses such as influenza or pneumonia. It could take up to 50 years after asbestos exposure before showing symptoms. The time of latency can make it difficult to diagnose the disease early, and symptoms may be misinterpreted as signs of other diseases.
In the majority of cases, malignant tumors start in the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Mesothelioma may also develop in the linings that surround the heart and abdomen. In rare cases the disease can affect the lining of the testes or the sac that surrounds the heart (pericardium).
Asbestos is one of the minerals that make long thin fibers. These fibers are so tough that they are unable to be broken down by chemicals or water, or even bacteria. They were used extensively in a variety of construction and household products before scientists realised how hazardous they were to the lives of people.
Most mesothelioma cases were caused by exposure to asbestos at work or at home. The majority of patients exposed were employed by the US Navy, Air Force, Shipbuilding Industry or Construction. It is more prevalent among women than men and veterans account for about 30% of mesothelioma cases.
Medical tests and imaging scans can help doctors identify mesothelioma. These include X rays, CT scanners, MRIs, and PET scans. The doctor could also take a sample of the tissue and send it to a laboratory to be tested.
The results will help doctors determine the type of mesothelioma and stage of the disease which influences prognosis and treatment options. The majority of mesothelioma types are epithelioid and sarcomatoid. Between 10% and 15% of cases are biphasic, or mixed. Epithelioid cancer is less aggressive and usually has the highest survival rates. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma has a worse prognosis and is more difficult to treat.
Diagnosis
It is difficult to diagnose mesothelioma, particularly in the early stages. The first step is for patients to see their primary care doctor with any symptoms, such as chest pains or coughing. The doctor will observe the patient's breathing with an stethoscope, and record their work and health history. This includes any asbestos exposure background, which is essential to determine mesothelioma's presence.
Doctors must rule out any other diseases before they can confirm the diagnosis, as mesothelioma signs are like those of other diseases. Cancer can spread to the lungs of a patient from other body parts such as the abdomen or chest. Asbestos-related victims are more prone to lung diseases, such as mesothelioma, pneumonia, and pleural symptoms may be confused with other respiratory ailments.
Blood tests, imaging tests and biopsy are all used to detect mesothelioma. These tests will help doctors locate the area of the cancer, which is often found in the lungs, but could also be found in the stomach or the testicles. The tests can help doctors determine how far cancer has spread within the body.
A CT scan or MRI can reveal mesothelioma signs like calcium deposits in the pleura (known as plaque) and an accumulation of fluid between the chest wall and the lungs. These tests can also determine whether a person has lungs on one side or the other.
In many cases a biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma case. This involves removing some of the tissue and analyzing it in a laboratory for mesothelioma cell.
Certain patients might require additional tests, like FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) which permits doctors to examine the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest, and to test them, or endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) which uses sound waves to look at the mesothelium and lungs. Mesothelioma, a rare cancer, is currently being treated by medical professionals. In the end patients diagnosed with cancer need to weigh their options carefully to determine the best treatment for them.
Treatment
Mesothelioma can affect the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma) or the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma) or the heart (pericardial mesothelioma). Symptoms usually do not appear for several decades after exposure to asbestos. As a result, it's crucial for those who have had to work with asbestos to have their health checked for any unusual symptoms.
A doctor will take an medical history to look for mesothelioma-related risk factors, including how long and how intensely an individual was exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also do an examination to find symptoms of mesothelioma for example, fluid accumulation in the chest cavity. The type of cells found in mesothelium, as well as the locations of those cells are used to identify mesothelioma. The most frequent type of mesothelioma is epithelioid. It makes up to 60% to 80% of mesothelioma cases. Other mesothelioma types are sarcomatoid and biphasic mesothelioma that both represent about 10% to 15% of mesothelioma cases.
There are many different treatment options for patients suffering from mesothelioma. The type of treatment depends on the type of mesothelioma and the stage of the disease.
In some cases, the mesothelioma is treated using chemotherapy or radiation. In these procedures doctors administer powerful chemotherapy medications or use special equipment to kill cancerous cells and reduce the risk of mesothelioma coming back.
Other types of mesothelioma can be treated with surgery that eliminates a part of the lining from the affected organ. This can also ease symptoms such as breathing difficulties.
If a person is diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, their doctor may perform VATS, a procedure which uses a camera inserted into the lungs to eliminate part of the pleura and lungs. This procedure can help improve breathlessness caused by fluid build-up in the lungs, however it is not a cure for the disease.
Other options for treatment include support and pain management. It is important for people who suffer from mesothelioma, to gather as much information as possible about the disease and ways to manage it. The more they know the more prepared they are to plan for a healthy and happy future.
