Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. The most significant risk factor is asbestos litigation exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber used in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miner shipyard workers, factory workers, and veteran employees are at the greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is a protective lining that covers the various organs of the body. Most often, mesothelioma maligna is found in the lung (pleura) and abdomen. It may also grow in the linings of the heart or the testes (pericardium). Each year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in approximately 3,000 Americans. The only reason that has been identified for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. asbestos litigation is a fibrous, brittle material that was once a popular choice in American industries because it was affordable and fire-proof. It was employed in the construction of structures, homes as well as ships, aircrafts, and automobiles. Workers on these projects could have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma decades after exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma are usually similar to those of other illnesses, including lung cancer, which makes it difficult to identify. The initial symptoms may include breathing problems or chest pain, as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, including weight loss and fatigue may develop.
There are four different kinds of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most commonly encountered type is pleural, which affects linings of the lungs (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types include testicular, pericardial and peritoneal. Each has distinct symptoms. However they all are identified by an inflamed malignant tumour that encircles vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will request a biopsy to check for cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined with a microscopy. If cancer is discovered and the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid sarcomatoid mesotheliom. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% of all mesothelioma and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary, accounts for less than 10% of mesothelioma diagnoses and has a lower prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. However, certain groups are more likely of developing the disease than others. These include those who work in the asbestos litigation industry, military veterans and those who have mesothelioma in their family. Also, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Signs and Symptoms
Mesothelioma develops in the tissues that line and protect internal organs, including the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos at work increases the risk of developing mesothelioma. The most common mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma. This affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time, the cells get damaged, and the genetic changes that occur result in the cells becoming malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary, but include chest pain, coughing and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss is also a symptom. Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer it can take anywhere between 10 to 60 year to show its first symptoms. Symptoms are often misinterpreted as other illnesses like pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is not easy to identify because it is not common and the symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient is in the end-stages of mesothelioma. At this stage the doctor will generally ask the patient about his or her past exposure to asbestos and then perform a physical examination. Imaging scans are used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and to rule out other illnesses.
In addition to a physical exam the doctor might also suggest blood tests or imaging scans of the chest and abdomen. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor could also recommend an examination to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and determine the type of mesothelioma a patient is suffering from. The biopsy could be an exploratory procedure or a minimally-invasive procedure.
During the biopsy, doctors remove small samples of mesothelium tissue and search for mesothelioma cell. The majority of mesothelioma diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid form is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life. The epithelioid type is more receptive to treatment and has a better chance of survival. The biphasic type is a mix of the first two types and is responsible for 30 to 40% of mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma typically occurs in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or pericardium. Around 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop following asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with heat-resistant properties. For decades it was employed in many American industries due to its cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry, as it was employed to insulate and strengthen vehicles, ships, buildings and other products. Those who worked in the construction industry were the most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health issues. These fibers can easily be swallowed or inhaled and irritate the mesothelium. In time the irritation causes scar tissue, which could lead to tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different areas of the body. The most commonly encountered mesothelioma is one that affects the lining of the chest cavity and lung. It is the most prevalent mesothelioma type and may cause symptoms such as breathing problems or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms like swelling, pain, or digestive issues. It can also affect the linings of the heart causing unique symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms can be mistaken with other diseases. It is crucial to see your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. Your doctor will perform an examination of your body and may order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests can help doctors determine if mesothelioma-related changes are forming in your body.
Although mesothelioma is not contagious however, relatives of those exposed to asbestos are at a greater risk of 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 legal fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. This type of secondhand exposure is known as secondary asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers mesothelioma develops when cells in the body develop abnormalities and begin to grow out of control. They can also reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, causing tumors (masses) to form.
The most significant risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was widely used in construction and other industries prior to its ban in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibers are ingested and inhaled. Then, they can become stuck in the linings of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos and were responsible for removing or handling it, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma. However, blue-collar workers and even family members of those who worked with asbestos are also at risk. Workers may carry asbestos fibers home on their clothing, while family members may breathe asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.
Although mesothelioma is rare It is still important to consult a doctor when you experience symptoms that may be related to the disease. Chest pain, breathing difficulties or a persistent cold are all signs. The doctor will ask about your health history and when you might have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor may also perform an X-ray of the chest and a physical exam to look for mesothelioma. Other tests include the computed-tomography scan (CT), positron emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
If mesothelioma is found to be a cancerous tumor the doctor will speak with you about treatment options. These may include chemo, surgery or radiation. The type of mesothelioma and how far it has progressed will determine what treatments are available.
While there is no cure for mesothelioma yet, the right treatment can increase the chance of survival.
