Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is one of the types of cancer that affects the lining of organs within. The main risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was used in a variety of occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miner, shipyard, factory, and veteran employees are at the greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, develops in the protective linings that surround various organs within the body, referred to as the mesothelium. Most often, mesothelioma maligna is found in the lung (pleura) and abdomen. However, it can also be found in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. About 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. The only reason that has been identified for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once a popular choice in American industries because it was affordable and fire-proof. It was used to build automobiles, homes, and structures. Workers who handled or cut the material could have been exposed. Exposure to these substances can cause mesothelioma for years after the exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma typically resemble those of other illnesses like lung cancer, which makes it difficult to determine. Initial symptoms include chest pain, trouble breathing and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, including fatigue and weight loss, could develop.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most commonly encountered type is pleural. It affects lung linings (pleura) and chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types include the peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and the peritoneal. Each type has unique symptoms. However they all are identified by an inflamed malignant tumour that surrounds the vital organs.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma they will order a biopsies to check for cancerous cells. A tissue sample taken from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is detected, patients can be diagnosed with epithelioid or sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% all mesothelioma and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma accounts for only 10 percent of mesothelioma cases, and has a lower prognosis.
Anyone who has come in contact with asbestos claim is at the risk of developing mesothelioma. However, certain groups have a greater chance of developing the disease than others. These groups include people who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those with mesothelioma-related family history. People who have had radiation treatments related to asbestos are also at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Signs and Symptoms
Mesothelioma develops in the tissue that line and protect internal organs such as the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium. Over time cells become damaged and genetic changes make them malignant. Tumors develop. Symptoms of mesothelioma vary and can include coughing chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue and weight loss as well as trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer is a rare cancer that 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 not easy to identify because it is a rare condition and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the mesothelioma's final stages. The doctor will inquire about the patient's prior asbestos exposure and perform a physical exam. Imaging scans are a method used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma, and determine if there are other diseases.
The physician may 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 may be ordered by the doctor to confirm a mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine which type of mesothelioma is present. The biopsy could be an exploratory procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During the biopsy, doctors remove small samples of mesothelium tissue and look for mesothelioma cells. The mesothelioma cells can be either epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic, with the first two types making up the majority of diagnoses. The Sarcomatoid type is less receptive to treatment and is more likely to have a shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic variant is a mix of the two first types and is responsible for between 30% and 40% of all diagnoses of mesothelioma.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is typically found in the lung's lining (pleura), though it can also form in the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) or the lining of the heart (pericardium). Every year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in around 3,000 people. It is the only cancer that has been proven to be caused by asbestos. It typically takes 20-50 years for mesothelioma growth after exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally has properties that resist heat. It was extensively used in a variety of American industries due to its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative in the construction industry where it was employed as a fireproofing and insulation material in buildings, ships, cars and other items. Construction workers were at the highest risk of exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that can cause serious health problems. These fibers can be easily be swallowed or inhaled and cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time irritation can lead to scar tissue, which can result in tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different areas of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent that affects the lining of the chest cavity and lungs. It is the most frequent form of mesothelioma, and it can cause symptoms like breathing difficulty or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining in the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive problems.

Mesothelioma symptoms may be confused with other ailments. It is crucial to consult your doctor if any of these symptoms are present. Your doctor will do an examination of your body and may order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests may include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests can assist doctors determine if there are changes in your body that could be related to mesothelioma.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious however, relatives of those who were exposed to asbestos claim are at a higher risk of developing the disease.

The main risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. asbestos litigation is a fibrous material that was utilized in construction and other industries before it was banned in the 1970s. When it is exposed to air, the microscopic fibers can be inhaled or ingested. They may then get lodged in the linings of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
The asbestos-related workers and were responsible for its removal or handling, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma. Blue-collar employees, and even family members of asbestos workers are at risk. Workers may bring asbestos litigation fibers home on their clothes. Family members could breathe in asbestos fibers as they clean their clothes.
Although mesothelioma is rare, it's important to see a doctor in case your symptoms are linked to this condition. They may include chest pain, breathing problems or a persistent cough. The doctor will ask you about your medical history and whether you've ever been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform a chest X ray and a physical exam to look for mesothelioma. Other tests include a computed-tomography scan (CT), positron-emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
Your doctor will discuss the options for treatment with you if mesothelioma is diagnosed. These may include surgery, chemo or radiation. The mesothelioma type and the far it has advanced will determine what treatments are available.
The right treatment can boost the odds of survival even though there is no cure. Download your free Mesothelioma Guide to know more about the disease and the treatment options available.
