Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma can affect the linings of internal organs. Asbestos exposure is the main risk factor.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber that was 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 the greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is a protective lining that covers various organs of the body. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma forms in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also develop in the linings of the heart or the testes (pericardium). A total of 3,000 people in United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was once a favored fibrous material in American industries due to its low price and fire resistance. It was used in the construction of homes, buildings and automobiles. Workers who handled the material may have been exposed. Exposure to these substances can cause mesothelioma for years after the exposure.
It is difficult to identify mesothelioma because the first symptoms are similar to those of other diseases such as lung cancer. The initial signs include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms may emerge, like weight loss and fatigue.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each type has a unique prognosis. The most prevalent kind is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lung's lining as well as the chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types include testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each type has its own distinctive symptoms, however all types are identified by an inflamed and malignant tumor that covers vital organs and disrupts their function.
If a doctor suspects mesothelioma, they will request a biopsy to look for cancerous cells. A tissue sample is taken from the affected area and examined under microscope. If cancer is discovered, patients can be diagnosed with epithelioid or sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Epithelioid cancer accounts for 70 percent to 88% of mesothelioma patients and is more receptive to treatment. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma on the other hand, accounts for just 10% of all mesothelioma cases and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has come into contact with asbestos is at the risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more likely 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. Also, those who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased risk of mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma occurs in the tissues that line and protect internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura), abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. The likelihood of developing mesothelioma rises when asbestos is exposed during work. Pleural mesothelioma is by far the most prevalent mesothelioma. It affects the lining of 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 differ, but common ones are coughing, chest pain and breathing problems. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss is another symptom. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, can take anywhere from 10 to 60 year to begin showing symptoms. The symptoms are often mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is often difficult to recognize because it is a rare condition and its symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma and asbestos lawsuit exposure until the patient is in the mesothelioma's final stages. At this stage the doctor will typically ask the patient about his or her previous exposure to asbestos and perform an examination. Imaging scans can be used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma or rule out other illnesses.
The doctor may also suggest imaging scans and blood tests for the abdomen or chest. The imaging tests may include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor might also request a biopsy to confirm the mesothelioma case diagnosis and determine the type of mesothelioma a patient is suffering from. The biopsy may be an exploratory or minimally-invasive procedure.
During the biopsy, doctors remove small pieces of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma cells. The mesothelioma cell can be either epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic, with the former two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and has shorter lives. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a higher chance of survival. The biphasic type is a mix of the first two types and accounts for 30% to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnosis.

About 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the only cancer recognized to be caused by asbestos case. It takes between 20 and 50 years for mesothelioma growth after exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with heat-resistant properties. For a long time it was employed in many American industries because it is inexpensive and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction sector where it was employed as a fireproofing and insulating material in ship construction, buildings automobiles and many other products. Construction workers 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 issues. The fibers are easily inhale or swallowed, and they can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes irritation causes scar tissue to grow and can cause tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma can affect different parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is most common that affects the lining of the chest cavity as well as lungs. It is the most frequent form of mesothelioma and can trigger symptoms like breathing difficulty or discomfort. Mesothelioma may also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity causing symptoms such as pain, swelling or digestive issues. It can also affect the linings of the heart, causing unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms are often confused with other ailments. It is important to see your doctor when any of these symptoms appear. Your doctor will perform an examination of your body and may order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests could include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans.

The main risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure asbestos. Asbestos was a fibrous material used in construction, among other industries before it was banned in the 1970s. When it is exposed, the tiny fibers may be inhaled or consumed. They can then become stuck in the lining of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is the most frequent cancer among those who have been exposed to asbestos law. This includes those who are accountable for removing it or handling it. Blue-collar employees, and even family members of asbestos workers are at risk.

The doctor will inquire about your medical history and if 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 a computed-tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Your doctor will discuss the options for treatment with you if mesothelioma is diagnosed. These could include chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. The mesothelioma type and how far it has progressed will determine the type of treatment available.
The right treatment can boost the chances of survival, even if there is no cure. Download your free Mesothelioma guide to find out more about the disease and the treatments available.
