Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the lining of internal organs. The primary risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miners shipyard workers, factory employees, and veterans are at the greatest danger of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, grows in the protective linings that protect different organs of the body known as the mesothelium. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma is found in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also develop in the linings of the heart or testes (pericardium). Each year, mesothelioma is discovered in about 3,000 people. 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 because it is cheap and fire-resistant. It was used in the construction of automobiles, homes, and structures. 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.
The initial signs of mesothelioma typically resemble the symptoms of other diseases like 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, like fatigue and weight loss, may develop.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each type has a distinct prognosis. The most common form is pleural. It affects linings of the lungs (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types are testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each kind has its own distinct symptoms, but all types are defined by an inflamed, malignant tumor that encircles vital organs and interferes with their function.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma they may request a biopsy to check for cancerous cells. A tissue sample is taken from the affected region and examined under a microscope. If cancer is detected, the patient can be diagnosed with sarcomatoid or epithelioid mesothelio. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% all mesothelioma and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary, accounts for just 10% of mesothelioma-related diagnoses and has a poorer prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more likely of being diagnosed with the disease than other. These groups include people who work in the asbestos litigation industry, veterans of the military and those with a family history of mesothelioma. Also, those who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is found in the tissues that line and protect the internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura), abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. The exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. This affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time, cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that occur result in the cells becoming malignant and form tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can differ, but common ones are chest pain, coughing and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea weight loss, and trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer, and it can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to show. The symptoms are often confused with other diseases such as the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is often difficult to recognize because it is rare, and its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically doctors do not link mesothelioma and asbestos exposure until the patient is in the late stages of mesothelioma. At this stage the doctor will generally ask the patient about his or her prior exposure to asbestos, and perform an examination. Doctors can use imaging scans to help diagnose mesothelioma and rule out other diseases.
The physician may also recommend imaging scans and blood tests for the chest or abdomen. Imaging tests may include CT scans or MRIs as well as PET scans or X-rays. The doctor could also recommend an examination to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine the type of mesothelioma a patient has. The biopsy may be an exploratory surgical procedure or an minimally invasive procedure.
During the biopsy procedure, doctors will remove tiny pieces of mesothelium tissue and search for mesothelioma cell. The majority of mesothelioma diagnosis are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and tends to have shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more responsive 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 all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is typically found in the lining of the lungs (pleura) but it can also form in the abdomen's lining (peritoneum) or the lining of the heart (pericardium). Around 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the only known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with properties that are heat-resistant. For a long time, it was used in many American industries due to its cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos lawsuit industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, where it was employed to insulate and strengthen automobiles, ships, buildings and other items. Those who worked in the construction industry were among those most susceptible to exposure to asbestos claim.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily swallowed and inhaled and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes the irritation causes scar tissue that can lead to tumors.
Different mesothelioma types affect different parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent, affecting the lining of the chest cavity and the lungs. This is the most frequent mesothelioma type and can cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma may also affect the lining in the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms like swelling, pain or digestive problems. It can also affect the lining of the heart and cause unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms may be confused with other ailments. It is important to see your doctor when any of these symptoms are present. Your doctor will perform an examination and physical exam. They may also order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests can include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests will allow doctors to determine if mesothelioma related changes are present in your body.
Although mesothelioma is not contagious, family members of those who were exposed to asbestos are at greater chance of developing the disease. This is because those who were exposed to asbestos often brought home asbestos fibers on their clothes hair, skin and even their hair. The asbestos fibers could then be breathed in by asbestos fibers. This kind of secondhand exposure is known as secondary asbestos exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Like other cancers mesothelioma develops when cells within the body begin to grow abnormal and begin to grow uncontrollably. They may also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body causing tumors to develop.
The main risk factor for mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was widely used in the construction industry and other fields before it was banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the tiny fibers can be inhaled or ingested. They can then be encased in the linings of certain organs and cause 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 could carry asbestos fibers home on their clothes, and family members may inhale asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.
Although mesothelioma can be found in a small percentage of cases It is still important to see a doctor if you have symptoms that could be related to the disease. These include chest pain, difficulty breathing or a persistent cough. The doctor will ask about your health history and if you have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also perform an X-ray chest scan and a physical examination to look for mesothelioma. Other tests can include a computed-tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
If mesothelioma has been diagnosed the doctor will speak with you about treatment options. This could include chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Treatment options will depend on the type of mesothelioma and how far along it has advanced.
Although there isn't a cure for mesothelioma, the right treatment can improve the chance of surviving.
