Pleural mesothelioma lawyers

Pleural mesothelioma affects the chest wall and lungs. Patients diagnosed with this form of mesothelioma generally have symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest pain and coughing. Additionally some patients experience a buildup of fluid in the lung's cavity and chest wall, known as a the pleural effusion. Asbestos fibers may cause irritation to the linings of the chest and lung. As time passes the tissue that has been irritated forms tumors that grow into the pleura. The tumors may spread to the peritoneum, bones, and the liver.

It typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop pleural cancer following exposure to asbestos. People who were exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at the most risk of developing the disease. Blue-collar workers and veterans who work on ships and in shipyards are especially at risk.

A person may experience symptoms for several weeks before a doctor diagnoses pleural mesothelioma. It is possible to experience breathing problems, a dry cough, chest pain, and fatigue. This condition may also result in an unprovoked loss of weight. A doctor can diagnose mesothelioma after getting a patient's medical background on asbestos exposure and performing an examination. Chest X-rays or CT scans are often done. These tests may reveal fluid in the chest cavity or a tumor in one of the lungs.

The first step to treat mesothelioma lawsuits of the pleura is to eliminate excess fluid. This can be done by doctors using the procedure known as thoracentesis. It involves insertion of a thin, flexible tube between two ribs inside the chest cavity. This tube allows doctors to examine the area and collect a sample of the fluid in the pleural cavity. Doctors can then analyze the fluid to determine whether it is cancerous or not.

The patient's age and whether they smoke can also impact prognosis. The rate of survival for a person is also influenced by their overall health and how quickly they seek treatment after an diagnosis. Asbestos victims who are treated early and aggressively have the best chances of a positive outcome.

This is because when ingested, or inhaled asbestos fibers enter the digestive tract, then pass through the lymphatic system and into the peritoneal tissue. Once inside they cause DNA damage and irritation to the cells. As time passes, the resulting inflammation causes scar tissue to form and tumors to develop.

Doctors assign a peritoneal phase to mesothelioma according to the location of the tumor, the extent of growth and rate of spreading to other tissues. The larger the tumors and the more aggressive the cell type, the more advanced the stage of the mesothelioma.

Pericardial mesothelioma is more common in men than in women. However, researchers aren't certain of the reason for this disparity. It could be that different asbestos exposures cause pericardial mesothelioma, or the likelihood of developing the disease increases with the age of one.

After a physical examination and asking the patient about their asbestos exposure, a doctor may suspect pericardial cancer. The doctor may request a CT scan and chest x-rays to find out if there are indications of a build-up of fluid around your heart (known as the pericardial effusion).

Pericardial mesothelioma typically develops in the membrane that covers the heart. These symptoms can be severe and affect the patient's ability to live an ordinary life.
