Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma can affect the linings of organs internal to them. The primary risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miners as well as shipyard and factory workers and veterans are at highest danger of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, is found in the linings that protect various organs within the body called the mesothelium. The most common malignant mesothelioma can be found in the lungs as well as the abdomen. It can also develop in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or testes. A total of 3,000 people in United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma annually. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous, brittle material that was once popular in American industries because it was inexpensive and fireproof. It was used in the construction of homes, buildings aircrafts, ships, ships and automobiles. Workers on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma usually resemble the symptoms of other diseases like lung cancer, which makes it difficult to diagnose. These early symptoms can include breathing difficulties or chest pain, as well as an ongoing cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, including weight loss and fatigue, may appear.
There are four types of mesothelioma. Each type has distinct prognosis. The most common form is pleural. It affects linings of the lungs (pleura) and chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types include peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and the peritoneal. Each kind has its own distinct symptoms, but all types are identified by an inflamed and malignant tumor that covers vital organs and hinders their function.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will request a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined with microscope. If cancer is discovered patients are diagnosed with epithelioid, or mesothelioma sarcomatoid. Epithelioid Mesothelioma is responsible for 70% to 80% mesothelioma in all cases and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma is only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a worse prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. However, certain groups are more likely of being diagnosed with the disease than other. These groups include people who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those who have a family history of mesothelioma. Also, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma symptoms
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect internal organs including the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos at work increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. The most common mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the mesothelium, and over time, the cells get damaged. The genetic changes that occur result in the cells becoming malignant and grow into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma are diverse and can include coughing chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea weight loss, and trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to appear. The symptoms are often confused with other diseases such as the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to other diseases.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma and asbestos litigation exposure until the patient is in the end-stages of mesothelioma. At this point the doctor will generally inquire about the patient's or her past exposure to asbestos and then perform an examination. Imaging scans are a method used by doctors to help diagnose mesothelioma and rule out other illnesses.
The doctor may also suggest blood tests and imaging scans for the chest or abdomen. The imaging tests could include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor might also request an examination to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine the type of mesothelioma a patient is suffering from. The biopsy can be an exploratory or minimally-invasive procedure.
During the biopsy, doctors remove small samples of mesothelium tissue and look for mesothelioma cells. The majority of mesothelioma cases are epithelioid. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life. The epithelioid kind is more responsive to treatment and has a higher chance of survival. The biphasic variant is a mixture of the two primary types and accounts between 30 and 40 percent of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is typically found in the lung lining (pleura) but it can also develop in the abdomen's lining (peritoneum) or the heart's lining (pericardium). Around 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the only known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral found naturally with properties that resist heat. For a long time it was utilized in many American industries due to its cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, where it was employed to insulate and strengthen automobiles, ships, buildings and other products. People who worked in the construction industry were most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health problems. These fibers can be easily inhaled or swallowed and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time irritation causes scar tissue to accumulate and can cause tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect various parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is most common that affects the lining of the chest cavity and the lungs. This is the most common type of mesothelioma and can cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining in the abdominal cavity causing symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive problems. It can also affect the heart's lining, causing unique symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Because mesothelioma may be misinterpreted as other illnesses so it is crucial to see your physician if you notice any symptoms or signs. Your doctor will perform an examination and physical exam. They may also order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests will help doctors determine if mesothelioma related changes are evident within your body.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious however, relatives of those exposed to asbestos are at a greater risk for developing the disease. This is because those who were exposed to asbestos frequently brought home asbestos fibers on their clothes, skin and hair. The asbestos lawsuit fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. This kind of secondhand exposure is referred to as secondary asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers, mesothelioma starts when the cells of the body begin to grow abnormal and begin to expand uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body, causing tumors (masses) to form.
The main risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was widely used in the construction industry and other fields before being banned in the 1970s. When it is exposed, the tiny fibers can be inhaled or eaten. They may then get stuck in the lining of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos particularly those who were responsible for its removal or handling and handling it, are at risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and family members of those who worked with asbestos are also at risk. Workers could carry asbestos fibers in their clothing, while family members could inhale asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.
Although mesothelioma is not a common occurrence, it is important to consult a doctor if you have symptoms that may be related to the condition. These include chest pain, difficulty breathing or a persistent cough. The doctor will inquire about your health background and when you may have been exposed to asbestos. They will also perform a physical exam and chest X-ray to check for signs of mesothelioma. Other tests include the computed-tomography scan (CT), positron-emission tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
If mesothelioma has been diagnosed, your doctor will talk with you about treatment options. These might include chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. The mesothelioma type and the it has advanced will determine the type of treatment available.
Although there is no cure for mesothelioma, the correct treatment can improve the chance of surviving.
