Mesothelioma - A Rare Asbestos Disease
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the interior organs' linings which is most often the lung (pleura) and less often the abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos results in an increased risk of developing the disease.
The most significant risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, which is a non-flammable and heat-resistant fiber. However, symptoms may take decades to develop after exposure.
Symptoms
Mesothelioma, a cancerous tumor that grows in the tissue that surrounds the lungs and the heart is caused by asbestos fibers. Typically, it develops when someone inhales asbestos fibers that get into the bloodstream, and later get lodged in the lining of organs. The most susceptible to contracting this condition are those who work with asbestos settlement, such as miners, plumbers, carpenters and welders. It can also occur in people who worked with workers who brought asbestos to their homes on their clothes or skin. Other people at risk include those who live in a home where asbestos is present and those who are disturbed by asbestos during home renovations or maintenance.
There are four stages to mesothelioma. People who are in the early or middle stages do not show symptoms and may go for a long time before being diagnosed. When they are diagnosed the cancer is advanced and difficult to treat.
The symptoms of mesothelioma do not usually appear until decades after exposure. The condition can take a long time to develop because asbestos fibers must be transported from the lungs into other body parts before they can cause mesothelioma. The lining of lungs is the most common location where mesothelioma develops however it could be found in the linings of the heart or stomach. It may also be found in the tissues of the reproductive organs.
The most effective method to identify mesothelioma is for the doctor to take a biopsy of the affected area. The biopsy is examined under a microscope to determine if the cells are mesothelioma or another kind.
Doctors may also request x-rays, CT scans or MRI to identify the issue and determine if there is a tumor, a thickening or enlargement of the lining in the abdomen or chest and fluid in the chest cavity. They may also recommend an examination of lung function to assess how well a person's lungs are working.
A misdiagnosis of mesothelioma could be harmful, as it could delay treatment, which can improve the prognosis of the patient. It is therefore important to seek out a physician whenever you experience any signs. A GP can evaluate the symptoms and signs and examine a person's history of exposure to asbestos.
Diagnosis
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is found in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a protective layer that covers many internal organs of the body which includes the chest cavity and abdominal cavity. The most commonly encountered mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the outer layer of the lungs (pleura). Mesothelioma is not as common in the abdomen's lining (peritoneum), the heart sac (pericardium) as well as in the testicles.
A doctor can diagnose mesothelioma through taking a tissue sample for imaging or biopsy tests. The doctor can determine the grade of mesothelioma. It is an indication of how aggressive and likely it is to spread.
The most important risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring, heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber that was used in construction and manufacturing activities until the late 1970s. The people who worked in jobs such as asbestos mining or milling, pipefitters, insulators, plumbers, and those who renovated older homes are at higher risk than other people of developing mesothelioma.
Inhaling the tiny asbestos fibers can lead to mesothelioma. These tiny asbestos fibers can get trapped in the lungs, causing inflammation that causes lung scarring. Asbestos exposure can also increase the likelihood of smoking, which can increase the risk of mesothelioma.
The risk of mesothelioma for a person rises with the amount of time they were exposed to asbestos. The people who have been exposed to the highest levels of asbestos are at the highest risk for mesothelioma.
There are some risk factors that can be changed like the age of a person, or if they smoke, but the majority of the mesothelioma risk factors are a result of asbestos exposure. Certain elements cannot be altered such as a person's genetics or family history. The risk of mesothelioma in a person is also increased if they have certain illnesses or health conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
Treatment
Mesothelioma affects the mesothelium that lines the lungs and abdomen. People who are exposed to asbestos are at the risk of developing mesothelioma. The disease typically develops over the years after asbestos exposure. It can be difficult to identify, since symptoms are often similar to other conditions and may change. Mesothelioma patients can receive compensation via lawsuits or trust funds.
Mesothelioma is not curable however, treatments are available to control the disease and improve the quality of life. Patients should seek medical treatment from a doctor who has had experience treating the disease. Doctors will review a patient's medical history to look for signs and possible mesothelioma risk factors, including asbestos exposure.
Exposure to asbestos is the most frequent cause mesothelioma. It usually occurs due to breathing in tiny asbestos fibers that hang in the air. The asbestos fibers can be trapped in the lungs and can trigger genetic mutations that cause cancer. The most prevalent form of mesothelioma is mesothelioma of the pleural region which affects the lung's lining. It can also affect the tissue of the chest (pericardium) as well as the abdomen and testicles (peritoneal peritoneal cancer).
Mesothelioma, like all cancers is caused by DNA mutations within a cell. These mutations lead the cell to grow uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of a tumor. Mesothelioma is most commonly found in men over the age of 75 and those who have served in the U.S. military.
There are several types of mesothelioma, and each has a distinct survival rate. Patients should be aware that mesothelioma is very serious and is a difficult one to treat. The research is making progress however, there is possibility. Veterans with mesothelioma may be eligible to receive VA benefits.
Prevention
Mesothelioma is a rare condition however it is highly preventable. Asbestos is a natural mineral that was once used widely in construction, shipbuilding and other industries due to its unique properties of strength, durability, heat insulation and fire resistance. However, the microscopic fibers of asbestos are able to become airborne if disturbed, and if breathed in, they can cause serious health problems such as mesothelioma.
The only way to avoid mesothelioma is to avoid being exposed to asbestos. Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma. many people who are diagnosed with the disease have been exposed to asbestos at some time in their lives. Smoking or aging, as well as genetics can also increase the risk of mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma typically affects the lungs and abdomen (tummy). It is uncommon for mesothelioma to develop in any other part of the body. Mesothelioma takes many years to grow, and it might not be apparent for 20 or 40 years after exposure to asbestos. It is important that people who have been exposed to asbestos regularly consult their physician if they are experiencing any unusual symptoms, especially shortness of breath and coughing.
Symptoms of asbestosis include tightness in the chest, frequent coughing, and a blue-ish appearance to the skin because the body is struggling to get enough oxygen. Inhaled asbestos fibers can also cause irritation to the lungs and lead to scarring referred to as fibrosis. This can lead to the accumulation of fluid in the lungs and other body parts including the heart. Inflammation can also trigger genetic changes that can cause cancer to develop in the lung.
There is no cure for asbestosis but there are treatments to manage the symptoms. These treatments can improve the quality of life and air quality for patients.
Mesothelioma typically occurs in the tummy and lungs but it can also affect the heart, stomach and testicles. There is no way to prevent mesothelioma. However, there are ways to decrease the risk. Always check for asbestos in the workplace and talk to their employer about the safety standards that they should adhere to. Wearing protective equipment and washing at home away from work clothes is a good practice to ensure that asbestos fibers are not found on clothing of family members.
