Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of organs within. Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was used in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Miner, construction workers, shipyard, factory and veteran workers are at the greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is the liner that protects the organs in the body. Malignant mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs as well as the abdomen. However, it also can form in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. Each year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in approximately 3,000 Americans. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once a popular choice in American industries because it is cheap and fire-resistant. It was used to build cars, homes, and buildings. Workers on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to these substances may result in mesothelioma lawsuit a few decades after exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma typically resemble the symptoms of other diseases, including lung cancer, making it difficult to determine. The initial signs include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a constant cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, like fatigue and weight loss, may appear.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most commonly encountered type is pleural, which affects the lung linings (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types include the peritoneal (pericardial) testicular and peritoneal. Each type has its own distinctive symptoms, but all are characterized by an inflamed and malignant tumor that surrounds vital organs and hinders their function.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma, they may request a biopsy to look for cancerous cells. A tissue sample taken from the affected area is examined with a microscopy. If cancer is discovered, the patient can be diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid cancer accounts for 70% to 88% of mesothelioma patients and is more receptive to treatment. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma represents only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a worse prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are at higher risk of developing mesothelioma than others. Workers in asbestos and military veterans and those who have a history of mesothelioma are among the groups. People who have had asbestos-related radiation treatment are also at chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Signs and Symptoms
Mesothelioma occurs in the tissues that line and protect internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. The likelihood of developing mesothelioma rises when asbestos is exposed during work. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common mesothelioma type. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium and over time, the cells get damaged. The genetic changes that happen cause the cells to become malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary, but they typically include coughing, chest pain and breathing difficulties. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss can also be a sign. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years before it shows its first signs. Often, the symptoms are confused with other diseases such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is extremely difficult to identify, because it is not common and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Doctors typically do not connect mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until mesothelioma that is in late-stage. At this stage the doctor will generally inquire about the patient's or her previous exposure to asbestos, and perform a physical examination. Imaging scans are used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma, and rule out other diseases.
In addition to a physical exam the doctor might also suggest imaging scans or blood tests of the abdomen and chest. Imaging tests can include CT scans, MRIs, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor may also order an examination to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine the kind of mesothelioma the patient has. The biopsy can be an exploratory procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During a biopsy, doctors remove mesothelium in small amounts and search for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma lawsuit diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatments and has a shorter time to live. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a mix of the two primary types and accounts between 30% and 40% of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the linings of the lungs and abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Each year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in around 3,000 people. It is the only known cancer caused by asbestos. It usually takes 20 to 50 years for mesothelioma growth after exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with heat-resistant properties. For many years it was employed in a variety of American industries because it was cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry, where it was used as a fireproofing and insulating material in buildings, ships cars and other items. Workers in the construction industry were the most susceptible to exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health problems. These fibers can be easily be swallowed or inhaled and cause irritation to the mesothelium. In time the irritation causes scar tissue to grow and can cause tumors.
Different mesothelioma types affect different parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma has the highest prevalence, affecting the lining of the chest cavity as well as the lungs. It is the most prevalent type of mesothelioma and can cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or discomfort. Mesothelioma may also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity causing symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive issues. It can also affect linings of the heart, causing unique symptoms like chest pains or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms may be confused with other illnesses. It is important to see your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. Your doctor will conduct an examination and physical exam. They may also request imaging scans to check for any abnormalities. These tests could include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests will help doctors see if any mesothelioma-related changes are forming within your body.
Although mesothelioma is not contagious the family members of those who were exposed to asbestos are at a higher risk for developing the disease. This is because workers who were exposed to asbestos frequently brought asbestos fibers home on their clothes, skin and hair. The asbestos fibers could then be breathed in by the asbestos fibers. Secondary asbestos exposure is the term used to describe this type of secondhand asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, just like other cancers, is a result of cells in the human body begin to multiply uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body, causing tumors to form.
The most significant risk factor for mesothelioma lawsuit is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a mineral that is fibrous that was widely used in construction and other industries before being banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibres can be inhaled and consumed. They may then get lodged in the linings of certain organs, causing mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos and were responsible for removing or handling it, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and relatives of asbestos workers are also at risk. Workers could carry asbestos fibers in their clothing, and family members may inhale asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.
Although mesothelioma is rare, it's important to seek out a physician if your symptoms are related to this disease. Chest pain, difficulty breathing or a persistent cold are all indications. The doctor will inquire about your medical history and whether you've ever been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform an X-ray of the chest and a physical exam to check for mesothelioma. Other tests could include a computed-tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Your doctor will discuss the treatment options with you in case mesothelioma has been identified. This could include chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Treatment options will vary based on the type of mesothelioma, and how far it has advanced.
Although there is no cure for mesothelioma, the right treatment can increase the chances of survival.
