Mesothelioma and asbestos claim Exposure

Malignant mesothelioma afflicts the linings of organs internal to them. The main risk factor is asbestos exposure.

Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Miners, construction workers shipyard workers, factory employees, and veterans are at the highest risk of exposure.

What is Mesothelioma?

The mesothelium is the liner that protects the organs of the body. Malignant mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs and abdomen. However, it also can be found in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or testes. Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous, brittle material that was once popular in American industries due to its affordable and fire-proof. It was used in the construction of homes, buildings, ships, airplanes and automobiles. Workers on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos when workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to asbestos could cause mesothelioma to develop for decades after the exposure.

It is difficult to diagnose mesothelioma since the initial symptoms are similar to those of other diseases such as lung cancer. The initial signs include chest pain, trouble breathing and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, such as weight loss and fatigue, may appear.

There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each type has a unique prognosis. The most common form is pleural. It affects lung linings (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other types of mesothelioma include the peritoneal (pericardial) testicular and the peritoneal. Each kind has its own distinct symptoms, however all types are characterized by an inflamed and malignant tumor that covers vital organs and interferes with their function.

When doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will request a biopsy to check for the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is found, the patient can be diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% mesothelioma, and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma represents only 10 percent of mesothelioma patients and has a worse prognosis.

Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos law is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more at risk of developing mesothelioma than others. This includes people who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those with a family history of mesothelioma. Additionally, people who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased risk of mesothelioma.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect organs in the internal such as the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs.

Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium and over time, the cells get damaged, and the genetic changes that happen cause the cells to become malignant and form tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can differ, but common ones are coughing, chest pain, and breathing problems. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue and weight loss as well as difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer it can take anywhere between 10 to 60 years before it begins to begin showing symptoms. Most of the time, the symptoms are confused with other diseases such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is not easy to identify as it is rare and the symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses.

Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma and asbestos exposure until the patient is in the end-stages of mesothelioma. At this stage the doctor will typically inquire about the patient's or her prior exposure to asbestos and then perform an examination. Imaging scans are a method used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma, and rule out other illnesses.

The doctor may also suggest blood tests and imaging scans for the abdomen or chest. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor could also recommend an examination to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine what kind of mesothelioma that patient is suffering from. The biopsy can be an exploratory surgery or an minimally invasive procedure.

During the biopsy procedure, doctors will remove small pieces of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma cells. The mesothelioma cell can be epithelioid, biphasic or sarcomatoid with the two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid form is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a combination of the two types and accounts for 30% to 40% of mesothelioma diagnoses.

Causes of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma typically occurs in the lung linings and the abdomen. It can also occur in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Each year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.

Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with properties that resist heat. For many years it was employed in many American industries due to its affordable and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, as it was employed to insulate and strengthen buildings, ships, automobiles and other items. People who worked in the construction industry were among those most at risk for exposure to asbestos.

Workers who worked with asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily inhaled and swallowed and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time the irritation causes scar tissue to accumulate and can cause tumors.

Different types of mesothelioma affect different areas of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent and affects the lining of the chest cavity and the lungs. This is the most common mesothelioma that may cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity and cause symptoms such as pain, swelling or digestive issues. It can also affect the heart's lining, causing unique symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.

Mesothelioma symptoms can be mistaken with other ailments. It is important to consult your doctor if any of these symptoms are present. Your doctor will perform an examination and physical exam. They may also request imaging scans to check for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests will help doctors determine if mesothelioma related changes are present in your body.

Although mesothelioma does not transmit, family members of those who have been exposed to asbestos are at a higher risk of developing the disease. This is because workers who were exposed to asbestos frequently brought home asbestos case fibers on their clothes, skin and hair. The asbestos fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. This type of secondhand exposure is referred to as secondary asbestos exposure.

Treatment for Mesothelioma

Like other cancers, mesothelioma begins when the cells of the body become abnormal and begin to grow uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, causing tumors (masses) to form.

The primary risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a mineral that is fibrous that was widely used in the construction industry and other fields prior to its ban in the 1970s. When it is exposed, the tiny fibers may be inhaled or ingested. They can then be encased within the linings of certain organs, causing mesothelioma.

People who worked with asbestos and were responsible for its removal or handling and handling it, are at risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and relatives of those who worked with asbestos are also at risk. Workers may carry asbestos fibers in their clothing, while family members could inhale asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.

Even though mesothelioma may be rare, it's essential to see a doctor to determine if your symptoms are connected to this condition. This includes chest pain, breathing problems or an ongoing cough. The doctor will inquire about your health history and if you have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform an X-ray of the chest and a physical examination to check for mesothelioma. Other tests include computed-tomography scan (CT), positron emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.

If mesothelioma has been diagnosed the doctor will speak with you about the treatment options. These could include surgery, chemo or radiation. The type of mesothelioma and how far it has progressed will determine the type of treatment available.
