Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma can affect the linings of organs internal to them. The most significant risk factor is exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber used in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Miners, construction workers shipyard workers, factory employees and veterans are at highest risk of being exposed.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the protective linings that surround various organs within the body called the mesothelium. Mesothelioma that is malignant is typically found in the lungs as well as the abdomen. However, it can also develop in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma annually. The only reason that has been identified for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous, brittle material that was once popular in American industries because it was cheap and fire-resistant. It was used in the construction of houses, buildings as well as ships, aircrafts, and automobiles. Workers who handled, removed or cut the material could have been exposed. Exposure to these chemicals could cause mesothelioma for a long time after exposure.
It is difficult to identify mesothelioma since the initial symptoms are similar to other illnesses like lung cancer. Early symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, including weight loss and fatigue, may appear.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most prevalent type is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other types of mesothelioma are peritoneal, pericardial or testicular. Each kind has its own distinct symptoms, however all types are defined by an inflamed, malignant tumor that covers vital organs and interferes with their function.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they will request an examination of the biopsy site to determine the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample is taken from the affected area and examined under the microscope. If cancer is found and the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid sarcomatoid mesotheliom. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% mesothelioma in all cases and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on the contrary, accounts for less than 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are at higher chance of developing mesothelioma than others. These include those who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those who have a family history of mesothelioma. People who have had asbestos-related radiation treatment are also at a higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma symptoms
Mesothelioma develops in the tissue that line and protect organs inside, including the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The risk of developing mesothelioma increases when asbestos is exposed at work. Pleural mesothelioma, the most common type of mesothelioma. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the mesothelium, and over time, the cells become damaged. The genetic changes that happen result in the cells becoming malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can differ, but common ones are coughing, chest pain and breathing difficulties. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss is another symptom. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, can take anywhere from 10 to 60 year to begin showing symptoms. Often, the symptoms are mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is often difficult to identify because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses.
Doctors generally do not associate mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until mesothelioma that is in late-stage. The doctor will ask about the patient's past asbestos exposure and perform a physical exam. Imaging scans can be used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma or to rule out other illnesses.
In addition to a physical exam the doctor might also suggest imaging scans or blood tests of the abdomen and chest. The imaging tests could include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. A biopsy may be ordered by a physician to confirm a mesothelioma diagnose and to determine which type of mesothelioma is present. The biopsy can be an exploratory procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During the procedure, doctors take out small amounts of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma cases are epithelioid. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and has shorter lives. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a much better prognosis. The biphasic variant is a mix of the two first types and is responsible for between 30% and 40 percent of all diagnoses of mesothelioma.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is typically found in the lining of the lungs (pleura) but it can also develop in the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) or the heart's lining (pericardium). Every year, mesothelioma is discovered in about 3,000 people. It is the only cancer recognized to be caused by asbestos settlement. It usually takes 20 to 50 years for mesothelioma growth after exposure.
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral has properties that resist heat. For decades, it was used in many American industries because it was cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was particularly lucrative for the construction industry, as it was employed to insulate and strengthen vehicles, ships, buildings and other items. Construction workers were at the highest risk of exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health issues. These fibers can be easily inhaled or swallowed and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time the irritation causes scar tissue that can cause tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma may affect different parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is most common that affects the lining of the chest cavity as well as the lungs. It is the most prevalent mesothelioma type and can cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or pain. Mesothelioma may also affect the lining in the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms like pain, swelling, or digestive problems. It can also affect the lining of the heart, causing unique symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms are often confused with other illnesses. It is essential to see your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. Your doctor will do a physical examination 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 present in your body.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious the family members of those exposed to asbestos are at a greater chance of developing the disease. This is because workers who were exposed to asbestos settlement frequently brought home asbestos fibers on their clothes hair, skin and even their hair. The asbestos settlement fibers could then be breathed in by the asbestos Legal fibers. This type of secondhand exposure is referred to as secondary asbestos lawsuit exposure.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, like other cancers begins when cells in the human body begin to grow uncontrollably. They can also reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, leading to tumors (masses) to form.
The exposure to asbestos is the most significant risk factor of mesothelioma. asbestos case is a fibrous mineral that was widely used in construction and other industries before it was banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the microscopic fibers can be inhaled or ingested. They can then be encased in the linings of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
Workers who were exposed to asbestos, especially those who were responsible for its removal or handling and handling it, are at risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and family members of those who worked with asbestos are also at risk. Workers might carry asbestos fibers home on their clothes, and family members may inhale them when they clean the clothes.
Although mesothelioma is not a common occurrence however, it is essential to see a doctor when you experience symptoms that could be related to the disease. Chest pain, difficulty breathing or a recurring cold are all symptoms. The doctor will inquire about your health background and when you may have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor will also conduct a chest X ray and a physical exam to look for mesothelioma. Other tests include a computed-tomography scan (CT) or positron-emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
Your doctor will discuss the options for treatment with you if mesothelioma has been diagnosed. This could include chemo, surgery or radiation. The type of mesothelioma and how it has advanced will determine the type of treatment available.
