Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma is one of the types of cancer that affects the lining of organs within. Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Miner, construction workers shipyard, factory and veteran employees are at risk the most of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a cancer that is found in the linings that cover various organs in the body, referred to as the mesothelium. Mesothelioma that is malignant is typically found in the lungs and abdomen. However, it also can be found in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. About 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. Exposure to asbestos is the sole known mesothelioma causing factor. Asbestos was once a favored fibrous material in American industries due to its low cost and fire resistance. It was employed in the construction of structures, homes as well as ships, aircrafts, 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 substances can lead to mesothelioma decades after exposure.
It can be difficult to determine mesothelioma since the initial symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses like lung cancer. The initial symptoms may include difficulty breathing, chest pain and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, like fatigue and weight loss, may appear.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most common type is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lung lining and chest cavity (pleura). Other types of mesothelioma include the peritoneal (pericardial), testicular, and the peritoneal. Each type has its own distinctive symptoms, but all types are identified by an inflamed and malignant tumor that encircles vital organs and interferes with their function.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will order a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined using a microscopy. If cancer is discovered, patients can be diagnosed with either epithelioid or mesothelioma that is sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80percent of mesothelioma patients and is more responsive to treatment. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma on the contrary, accounts for just 10% of all mesothelioma diagnoses and has a lower prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has come in contact with asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are at higher chance of developing mesothelioma than others. This includes people who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those who have mesothelioma in their family. In addition, those who have received asbestos lawsuit-related radiation therapy are at an increased risk of mesothelioma.
The symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma develops in the tissue that line and protect internal organs such as the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos at work increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma. This affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium. As time passes cells become damaged and genetic changes make them malignant. Tumors develop. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary and include coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer, and it can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to appear. The symptoms are often mistaken for other diseases, such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is extremely difficult to identify, as it is rare and the symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Doctors typically do not connect mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until the mesothelioma is at a late stage. The doctor will ask about the patient's past asbestos exposure, and then perform an examination. Imaging scans are a method used by doctors to help diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
The doctor might also recommend imaging scans and blood tests for the chest or abdomen. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, or X-rays. A biopsy is often requested by the doctor to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine the mesothelioma type is present. The biopsy may be an exploratory procedure or a minimally-invasive procedure.
During a biopsy, doctors remove mesothelium from small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cells can be either epithelioid, biphasic or sarcomatoid, with the first two types forming the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid variant is less responsive to treatments and has a shorter lifespan. The epithelioid type is more responsive to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a mix of the two types and is responsible for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma typically occurs in the linings of the lungs and abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Every year, mesothelioma gets diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop after exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with properties that resist heat. For many years, it was used in many American industries due to its cheap and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry in which it was utilized as a fireproofing and insulating material in buildings, ships automobiles, and other products. Construction workers were at the highest risk of exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health issues. The fibers can be swallowed and inhaled, and can irritate mesothelium. In time irritation can lead to scar tissue that can result in tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma can affect different parts of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent, affecting the lining of the chest cavity as well as the lungs. It is the most common mesothelioma form and can cause symptoms like breathing difficulty 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 distinctive symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Because mesothelioma may be misinterpreted as other illnesses, it is important to see your doctor if you exhibit any symptoms or signs. Your doctor will conduct a physical examination and may order imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests can include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests can help doctors determine if mesothelioma-related changes are forming in your body.

The main risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure asbestos. Asbestos is a mineral that is fibrous that was used in the construction industry and other fields before being banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the microscopic fibres are ingested and inhaled. Then, they can become lodged in the lining of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is more prevalent in those who have been exposed to asbestos. This includes those who are responsible for removing it or handling it. However blue-collar workers as well as relatives of asbestos workers are also at risk. Workers could carry asbestos fibers home on their clothes.

Trouble breathing, chest pain or a persistent cold are all signs. The doctor will inquire about your medical history and if you have been exposed to asbestos. The doctor may also perform a chest X ray and a physical examination to check for mesothelioma. Other tests include the computed-tomography scan (CT), positron emission tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
If mesothelioma is diagnosed your doctor will discuss with you about possible treatment options. This could include surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. The treatment options will be based on the type of mesothelioma, and how far it has advanced.
