Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. The primary risk factor is asbestos lawsuit exposure.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Miners, construction workers shipyard workers, factory employees, and veterans are at most danger of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, a form of cancer, grows in the protective linings that surround various organs in the body known as the mesothelium. Malignant mesothelioma is most commonly located in the lungs and abdomen. It can also develop in the linings of the heart or the testes (pericardium). Each year, mesothelioma is discovered in about 3,000 people. The only reason that has been identified for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous substance that was once popular in American industries due to its cheap and fire-resistant. It was used to construct automobiles, homes, and structures. Workers on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos could cause mesothelioma to develop for decades after exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma are usually similar to those of other illnesses, including lung cancer, making it difficult to determine. Initial symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more severe symptoms could emerge, like fatigue and weight loss.
There are four different types of mesothelioma. Each type has a unique prognosis. The most common form is pleural, which affects linings of the lungs (pleura) and chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types include peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and peritoneal. Each kind has its own distinct symptoms, but all are identified by an inflamed and malignant tumor that encircles vital organs and interferes with their function.
If a doctor suspects mesothelioma, they will order a biopsies to check for cancerous cells. A sample of the affected area is examined using a microscopy. If cancer is detected, patients can be diagnosed with either epithelioid or mesothelioma that is sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% mesothelioma in all cases and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on other hand, accounts for just 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a poorer prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are at higher risk of developing mesothelioma than others. These include those who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those with mesothelioma-related family history. In addition, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma occurs in the tissues that line and protect the internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura) as well as the abdomen (peritoneum), and the peritoneum. Exposure to asbestos at work increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the lining of the lung.
Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time, the cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that happen result in the cells becoming malignant and form 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 can also be a sign. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer, and it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to appear. It is often mistaken for other diseases such as the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma can be difficult to recognize because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient is in the mesothelioma's final stages. At this point, the doctor will usually ask the patient about his or her previous exposure to asbestos and perform an examination. Imaging scans are a method used by doctors to help diagnose mesothelioma and rule out other diseases.
The doctor may also suggest scans for blood and imaging for the chest or abdomen. Imaging tests could include CT scans or MRIs as well as 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 biopsy, doctors take small samples of mesothelium tissue and search for mesothelioma cell. The mesothelioma cell can be epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic, with the first two types making up the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and is more likely to have shorter lives. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatments and has a much better prognosis. The biphasic form is a mixture of the first two types and is responsible for 30 to 40% of mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma most commonly occurs in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or pericardium. About 3000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. It is the only 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 properties that are heat-resistant. For a long time it was utilized in a variety of American industries because it was cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction industry, as it was used to insulate and fireproof automobiles, ships, buildings and other items. Workers in the construction industry were most at risk of being exposed to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health problems. These fibers can easily inhaled or swallowed and can irritate the mesothelium. In time irritation can lead to scar tissue that can cause tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma may affect different areas of the body. The most common mesothelioma is one that affects the lining of the chest cavity and the lung. It is the most prevalent type of mesothelioma and can cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining which can cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, or digestive issues.

When exposed, the tiny fibres can be inhaled and ingested. They can then be encased in the linings of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos (web) and were responsible for its removal or handling in the workplace, have the highest chance of developing mesothelioma.
