Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma afflicts the linings of organs internal to them. The primary risk factor is exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miners, shipyard and factory employees and veterans are at the greatest risk of being exposed.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, develops in the protective linings that protect various organs in the body known as the mesothelium. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma forms in the lung (pleura) and abdomen. It may also grow in the linings of the heart or in the testes (pericardium). Each year, mesothelioma gets diagnosed in a few thousand Americans. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was once a favored fibrous material in American industries because of its low cost and fire resistance. It was used in the construction of structures, homes, ships, airplanes and automobiles. People who worked on these projects could have been exposed to asbestos when workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to these materials could lead to mesothelioma many decades after exposure.
The first symptoms of mesothelioma typically resemble those of other illnesses like lung cancer, making it difficult to identify. The initial symptoms may include breathing difficulties and chest pain as well as an ongoing cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, including fatigue and weight loss, could develop.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each type has a distinct prognosis. The most commonly encountered type is pleural, which affects the lung linings (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other types of mesothelioma include the peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and the peritoneal. Each type has unique symptoms. However, all types are characterized by an inflamed malignant tumor that surrounds the vital organs.
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 under a microscopy. If cancer is detected and the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% of mesothelioma, and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma accounts for only 10 percent of mesothelioma cases, and has a worse prognosis.
Anyone who has come into contact with asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma than others. Workers in asbestos, veterans of the military and those with mesothelioma history are among these groups. People who have had asbestos legal-related radiation treatment are also at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
The symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is found in the tissues which line and protect internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura) as well as the abdomen (peritoneum), and the peritoneum. Exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the risk of developing mesothelioma. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium. As time passes, cells become damaged and genetic changes cause them to become malignant. Tumors develop. Symptoms of mesothelioma vary and can include coughing, chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue weight loss, and difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer, and it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to show. Often, the symptoms are mistaken for other diseases like pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because it is a rare condition and its symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Doctors usually do not link mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until late-stage mesothelioma. At this stage the doctor will generally ask the patient about his or her previous exposure to asbestos and perform a physical examination. Doctors can use imaging scans to diagnose mesothelioma, and determine if there are other diseases.
In addition to a physical examination the doctor might also suggest imaging scans or blood tests of the abdomen and chest. Imaging tests may include CT scans, MRIs, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor may also order a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and determine the type of mesothelioma a patient is suffering from. The biopsy could be an exploratory surgical procedure or an minimally invasive process.
During the biopsy, doctors remove small samples of mesothelium tissue and search for mesothelioma cell. The majority of mesothelioma diagnosis are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatments and has a shorter lifespan. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a superior prognosis. The biphasic type is a mixture of the two first kinds and accounts for between 30 and 40 percent of mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma typically occurs in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It can also be found in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Every year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the only known cancer caused by asbestos. It typically takes 20-50 years for mesothelioma to develop after exposure.
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that is heat-resistant, has properties. For a long time it was utilized in a variety of American industries because it is affordable and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, where it was used as a fireproofing and insulating material in buildings, ships automobiles and other items. Construction workers were the most at risk of asbestos exposure.
Workers who handled asbestos Legal or removed it were exposed to fibers that are sharp and may cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily inhaled and swallowed, and can irritate mesothelium. In time irritation can lead to scar tissue, which can result in tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma may affect various parts of the body. The most common type of mesothelioma affects the lining of the chest cavity as well as the lungs. It is the most frequent form of mesothelioma, and it can cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining and cause symptoms such as pain, swelling or digestive issues. It can also affect the heart's lining and cause unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Because mesothelioma can be mistaken for other diseases so it is crucial to visit your physician if you notice any symptoms or signs. Your doctor will perform an examination of your body and may require imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests could include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests will allow doctors to determine if mesothelioma-related changes are evident within your body.
Although mesothelioma does not transmit, family members of those exposed to asbestos are at a greater risk for developing the disease. People who were exposed brought asbestos fibers home on their clothes, hair and skin. The asbestos lawsuit 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 starts when the cells of the body begin to grow abnormal and begin to grow out of control. They can also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body causing tumors to develop.
The primary risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was a fibrous mineral that was used in construction, as well as 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, causing mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos 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 asbestos-related workers are also at risk. Workers could carry asbestos fibers home on their clothes, and family members may breathe asbestos fibers while cleaning the clothes.
