Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma happens when asbestos fibers irritate and cause damage to the cells that line the lung (pleura) or abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Eventually the abnormal cells grow into tumors.

The symptoms of mesothelioma may take between 10 - 50 years for symptoms to be noticed and are often confused with other illnesses. The only risk factor that is known is a history of asbestos exposure.

Pleural Mesothelioma

The lungs and chest wall are affected by pleural mesothelioma. This type of mesothelioma is characterized by symptoms like chest pain, coughing and breathing problems. Some patients also experience a fluid buildup between the chest wall and the lung, called an pleural effusion. Pleural mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers inflame the lining of the lung and chest cavity. Over time the irritated lining develops tumors that develop into the pleura. The tumors can expand to the peritoneum or bones, as well as to the liver.

It can take between 20 and 50 years to develop pleural cancer following exposure to asbestos. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at the greatest risk of developing this disease. Shipyard workers and those on ships as well as veterans, are at risk.

A patient may be afflicted with symptoms for several weeks before a doctor diagnoses pleural mesothelioma. It is possible to experience breathing problems and a dry cough, chest pain and fatigue. This condition may also result in a lower temperature and an unanswered loss of weight. A doctor can detect mesothelioma by taking a note of the patient's asbestos exposure and conducting a physical examination. Chest X-rays or CT scans are usually carried out. These tests can reveal fluid in the chest cavity or a tumor that is located near one of the lung's.

The first step to treat mesothelioma pleural is to drain the excess fluid. Doctors can do this with the procedure known as thoracentesis which involves inserting a thin tube into the chest cavity between two ribs. The tube lets doctors examine the area and then take a sample of the fluid from the pleural. Doctors can then analyze the fluid to determine whether it is cancerous or not.

The prognosis of pleural cancer depends on a number of factors, such as the stage and size of the cancer. The prognosis could be affected by the patient's age and whether smoking cigarettes or not. A person's survival rate is also affected by their general health and how quickly they seek treatment following an diagnosis. Asbestos patients who receive treatment early and aggressively have the best chance of a good outcome.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Peritoneal mesothelioma develops along the lining of the abdomen known as the peritoneum. This type of mesothelioma is less prevalent than pleural mesothelioma, but it can still be fatal. Peritoneal mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos while working. This is because when ingested, or inhaled asbestos fibers are absorbed by the digestive tract and then move through the lymphatic system to the peritoneal tissue. Once inside, they cause DNA damage and irritation to the cells. Over time, the resulting inflammation causes scar tissue to form and tumors to develop.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer that can take years to develop. It is also a difficult cancer to detect because its symptoms are similar to other abdominal issues. In the end, patients suffering from peritoneal mesothelioma often are mistakenly diagnosed or delayed treatment.

People with peritoneal mesothelioma experience extreme abdominal pain and fever, as well as weight loss. They may have trouble digesting food due to the buildup of abdominal fluid and have a higher risk of developing anemia or low levels of albumin in their blood.

As with other types of cancer, doctors can diagnose the presence of peritoneal cancer by taking an examination. The aim of this procedure is to take an insignificant portion of the affected tissue to be examined under the microscope of mesothelioma specialists. These tests can determine if the tumors are aggressive or not, and the kind of cancerous cells that are present (epithelioid sarcomatoid).

Doctors assign a peritoneal phase to mesothelioma based on its location, amount of tumor growth, and the rate at which it spreads to other tissues. The more aggressive and extensive the cancerous cells are in the stage of advanced mesothelioma is.

Patients with mesothelioma should consult an expert doctor who is experienced in treating this rare illness.

Patients who experience pericardial mesothelioma should disclose the history of exposure to asbestos to their physicians and share any recent symptoms with them.

Similar to pleural mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma usually affects males more frequently than females. Researchers aren't sure of the reason for this disparity. Researchers are not sure what causes this difference. It could be different asbestos exposures that lead to pericardial Mesothelioma or the risk increases with age.

After a physical examination and asking the patient about their exposure to asbestos lawyers, a doctor may suspect pericardial carcinoma. The doctor may request an CT scan and chest x-rays to determine if there are indications of a build-up of fluid around your heart (known as the pericardial effusion).

However, mesothelioma can be found in the abdominal cavity as well as the heart's lining (pericardium).

The exposure to asbestos is the main reason for mesothelioma. Blue-collar workers and the military were exposed to massive amounts of asbestos in the United States. Asbestos producers knew asbestos was hazardous, but they did not inform their employees or disclose the dangers. From the 1930s through the 1980s, asbestos was widely employed in shipbuilding, construction and power plants. The exposure to asbestos can cause the development of mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related illnesses.
