Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers cause irritation and cause damage to the cells that line the lung (pleura) or abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Then these abnormal cells transform into tumors.
Symptoms of mesothelioma take 10 - 50 years to appear and are often confused with other illnesses. The only risk factor that is known is asbestos exposure.
Pleural Mesothelioma
Pleural mesothelioma can affect the lungs and chest wall. The mesothelioma type is characterized by symptoms such as chest pain, coughing and breathing difficulties. Some patients also have an accumulation of fluid between their lung and the chest wall, called an Pleural effusion. Pleural mesothelioma is a condition that occurs when asbestos fibers irritate the lining of the lung and the chest cavity. Over time the tissue that has been irritated forms tumors that grow into the pleura. The tumors can grow to the peritoneum, bones and the liver.
It typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop pleural mesothelioma following exposure to asbestos. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at greatest risk of developing this disease. Blue-collar workers and veterans working on ships and shipyards are at risk in particular.
It could take a few weeks for a doctor to recognize the condition as pleural asbestosis. It is possible to experience breathing problems and a dry cough, chest pain, and fatigue. Patients suffering from this condition might also experience a low fever and unexplained weight loss. A doctor can detect mesothelioma by taking a note of the patient's exposure to asbestos and performing a physical exam. Chest X-rays or CT scans are usually carried out. These tests may reveal fluid in the chest cavity, or a tumor near one of the lungs.
The first step to treating mesothelioma pleural is to drain the excess fluid. This can be done by doctors through the procedure called thoracentesis. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube between two ribs in the chest cavity. The tube lets doctors examine the area and collect an ounce of fluid in the pleural cavity. The fluid can be examined by a doctor to determine whether it is cancerous.
The prognosis for pleural cancer is contingent on a variety of factors, including the stage and severity of the cancer. A patient's age and whether they smoke can influence the prognosis. The rate of survival for a person is also affected by their overall health and how quickly they seek treatment following a diagnosis. Asbestos patients that are treated aggressively and early have the best chances of a favorable outcome.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Peritoneal Mesothelioma can be found in the lining that covers the abdomen, also known as the peritoneum. While this type of mesothelioma accounts for fewer cases than the most common form, pleural mesothelioma, it is still a fatal disease. Work-related exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of peritoneal mesothelioma. This is because when ingested, or inhaled asbestos fibers are absorbed by the digestive tract and then travel through the lymphatic system to the peritoneal tissue. Once inside, they cause DNA damage and irritation to the cells. Over time, the inflammation that results can cause scar tissue and tumors to form.
As with other mesothelioma forms the peritoneal mesothelioma may take years to develop. It can also be difficult to identify because its symptoms are similar to many other abdominal issues. This is why patients with peritoneal mesothelioma lawsuits are often misdiagnosed or delay treatment.
Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma suffer extreme abdominal pain and fever, and weight loss. They might have difficulty digesting food because of the buildup of fluid in their abdomen. They also have the risk of developing anemia and low levels of albumin.
As with other forms of mesothelioma. Doctors identify peritoneal mesothelioma with a biopsy. This involves the removal of the affected tissue to be examined under a microscope. These tests can identify the types of cancerous cells (epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic) and determine how aggressive the tumors are.
Doctors assign a stage to peritoneal mesothelioma lawsuits in accordance with its location and size, as well as the extent of tumor growth and the rate of spread to other tissues. The more extensive the tumors and the more aggressive the cell type is, the more advanced the stage of the mesothelioma.
Patients with mesothelioma should consult a specialist doctor who is experienced in treating this rare illness. Without such a physician, patients risk being misdiagnosed as an abdominal problem that is more common and receiving delayed treatment. This can be a serious issue because mesothelioma has a lengthy latency time and requires a careful diagnosis to ensure the proper treatment.
Cardiac Mesothelioma Lawyer
While peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma represent the most prevalent forms of asbestos-related cancer, patients may be diagnosed with mesothelioma pericardial. This rare form of disease is caused by asbestos fibers that infiltrate the lining of the heart. It is often difficult to identify the condition because symptoms are similar to other diseases. Patients with pericardial mesothelioma should disclose their past exposure to asbestos to their doctors and discuss any new symptoms with them.
Like pleural mesothelioma, the pericardial mesothelioma typically affects men more often than women. However, researchers are not sure of the cause for this distinction. Researchers aren't certain what is causing this difference. It could be different asbestos exposures that cause pericardial Mesothelioma or the risk increases with the age.
After an examination of the body and questioning the patient about their exposure to asbestos, a doctor might suspect pericardial cancer. The physician can then request an x-ray chest scan and CT scan to determine whether there is evidence of a build-up of fluid around the heart (known as pericardial effusion).
Pericardial mesothelioma typically develops in the membrane that surrounds the heart. These symptoms can be extremely severe and may affect the quality of life of the patient. These symptoms could include chest discomfort breathing problems, breathlessness or shortness. In some cases the fluid can build-up and cause pressure on the heart, which can lead to cardiac tamponade.

Reproductive Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma can affect the linings of the organs of the abdomen, chest or the heart. It can also be found in the lining of the eyes (periocular mesothelioma) and testicles (testicular mesothelioma). Rarely, mesothelioma occurs in other parts of the body, like the kidneys, stomach, or heart valves. Mesothelioma most commonly develops in the chest wall and lungs. However, mesothelioma can also be found in the abdominal cavity as well as the heart's lining (pericardium).
Mesothelioma is primarily caused by asbestos exposure. Blue-collar workers and the military in the United States were exposed to asbestos in large quantities. Asbestos producers knew that asbestos was dangerous but did not warn their employees or inform them of the risks. Asbestos was extensively used in shipbuilding, construction, power plants, and the military during the 1930s and into the 1980s. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma or lung cancer.
Most cases of mesothelioma don't manifest until several years after exposure. The disease is often not properly diagnosed. The symptoms can develop between 20 and 60 year after exposure to asbestos.
The symptoms of mesothelioma may include breathlessness and chest pain, as well as persistent cough, or fluid in the lungs. Mesothelioma can be difficult to identify because the disease is so rare and because its symptoms are similar to those of many other diseases, such as lung cancer and pneumonia.
A doctor will look over your medical history in order to find mesothelioma or other health problems. The doctor will ask you about your work history, and whether you were exposed to asbestos. People who worked in industries that handled or shipped asbestos are more likely of developing mesothelioma compared to those who did not.
Treatment options for mesothelioma depend on the type of cancer and its stage. In the majority of cases, surgery and chemotherapy are the most commonly used treatment options. Radiation therapy is sometimes utilized. Immunotherapy is also used to treat mesothelioma. However, the research is still in its early stages.
