Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is one of the types of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. Asbestos exposure is the primary risk factor.
Asbestos was a fire- and heat resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations prior to its ban in the year 1970. Miner, construction workers shipyard workers, factory workers and veteran employees are at the greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, develops in the protective linings that surround various organs within the body known as the mesothelium. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma is found in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also develop in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. A total of 3,000 people in United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. Exposure to asbestos is the sole known cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos was once a favored fibrous material in American industries due to its low price and fire resistance. It was used to construct homes, buildings and automobiles. Workers who handled the material could have been exposed. Exposure to these materials could cause mesothelioma for a long time after exposure.
It can be difficult to determine mesothelioma because the first symptoms are similar to other lung cancer. Early symptoms include breathing difficulties and chest pain as well as an ongoing cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, such as weight loss and fatigue, may develop.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most common kind is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types include peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and the peritoneal. Each type has its own distinctive symptoms, but all types are defined by an inflamed, malignant tumor that surrounds vital organs and disrupts their function.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will order a biopsies to determine if cancerous cells are present. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined with a microscopy. If cancer is detected the patient is diagnosed with sarcomatoid or epithelioid mesothelio. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% of mesothelioma, and is more susceptible. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on other hand, accounts for just 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. However, certain groups have a greater chance of developing the disease than others. These groups include people who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those who have a family history of mesothelioma. In addition, those who have had asbestos claim-related radiation therapy are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Signs and Symptoms
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect internal organs such as the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. The most common mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate the mesothelium, and over time, the cells become damaged. The genetic changes that occur cause the cells to become malignant and grow into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma are diverse and can include coughing chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue and weight loss as well as difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that can take from 10 to 60 years for the first signs to show. The symptoms are often mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is often difficult to recognize because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma with asbestos litigation exposure until the patient has reached the end-stages of mesothelioma. The doctor will ask about the patient's past asbestos exposure, and then perform a physical exam. Imaging scans can be utilized by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and rule out other illnesses.
The doctor might also recommend blood tests and imaging scans for the chest or abdomen. The imaging tests could include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, or X-rays. A biopsy can be requested by a doctor to confirm a mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine the kind of mesothelioma is present. The biopsy may be an exploratory or minimally-invasive procedure.
When they perform an examination, doctors remove mesothelium from small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid variant is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic form is a combination of the two primary kinds and accounts for between 30% and 40% of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or pericardium. Every year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. It takes between 20 and 50 years for mesothelioma to develop after exposure.
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, has heat-resistant properties. It was used for decades in a variety of American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction sector in which it was utilized as a fireproofing and insulating material in buildings, ships cars, and other products. Construction workers were the most at risk of exposure to asbestos.
Workers who worked with asbestos or took it away were exposed to fibers that are sharp and may cause serious health issues. The fibers are easily inhale or swallowed, and they can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes the irritation causes scar tissue, which can cause tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different parts of the body. The most commonly encountered mesothelioma is one that affects the lining in the chest cavity as well as the lung. It is the most frequent mesothelioma form, and it can cause symptoms like breathing difficulty or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity which can cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, or digestive issues. It can also affect the lining of the heart, causing unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Since mesothelioma is often misinterpreted as other illnesses so it is crucial to visit your doctor if you exhibit any symptoms or signs. Your doctor will conduct a physical examination and may request imaging scans to check for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests can help doctors determine if there are changes in your body that may be caused by mesothelioma.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious however, relatives of those who were exposed to asbestos are at a greater risk of developing the disease. Workers who were exposed to asbestos brought asbestos fibers home on their clothes hair, skin and hair. The asbestos fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. Secondary asbestos exposure is the term used to describe this type of secondhand asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers, mesothelioma begins when cells in the body become abnormal and begin to grow uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body causing tumors to form.
Exposure to asbestos is the most significant mesothelioma risk factor. Asbestos was a fibrous material used in construction, among other industries, before it was banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the microscopic fibres can be inhaled and consumed. They may then get lodged in the linings of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
The asbestos-related workers particularly those who were responsible for removing or handling it, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and family members of those who worked with asbestos case are also at risk. Workers may carry asbestos fibers home on their clothing, and family members may inhale them when they clean the clothing.

The doctor will ask about your medical background and when you may have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform a chest X ray and a physical examination to look for mesothelioma. Other tests include a computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Your doctor will discuss the treatment options with you in case mesothelioma is diagnosed. This could include surgery, chemo or radiation. Treatment options will depend on the type of mesothelioma, and how far along it has advanced.
