Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
People who use asbestos-containing products are at risk of ingesting or inhaling asbestos fibers. The fibers penetrate the lining of the chest cavity and abdomen which is also known as the pleura, or the peritoneum.
Exposure to asbestos can result in a lifetime risk of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneal or pleural regions. While the risk does appear to decrease after more than 40 years of exposure, even the smallest asbestos exposure can be dangerous.
Age
The older the person is exposed to the environment, the higher the chance of developing mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a disease that affects the mesothel an elongated layer that surrounds the major organs of the body. The cancerous cells grow in uncontrolled ways and develop into tumors. Mesothelioma usually affects people who have been exposed to asbestos. This could be through their work or being a close family member.
Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma due to irritation of the mesothelium. The lining of the lungs (pleura) is most affected in people with mesothelioma pleural, but it can also affect the lining of the abdomen and peritoneum, as well as the lining of the heart (pericardium).
Asbestos is a heat-resistant and long-lasting mineral. It was used in insulation, construction and other industrial applications up to the 1980s. During this time many millions of Americans were exposed to asbestos due to their jobs or because they were close to an exposed loved one.
When asbestos is disturbed, it releases fibers into the air. They are too tough for the body's system to break down or process. The fibers could get stuck in the lungs and cause irritation that leads to cancer.
Symptoms of mesothelioma usually do not show up until decades after asbestos exposure. The symptoms are similar to other cancers, and may be fatal without treatment.
Mesothelioma affects men more often than women, and is most commonly diagnosed in those who are over 45. The people who are at highest risk of developing mesothelioma because asbestos exposure at work include miners, ship builders, railroad workers and those who handled or installed products made of asbestos. Family members of these people are also at higher risk since asbestos could get on their clothing.
Smoking
The chance of developing mesothelioma increases the longer they're exposed asbestos compensation. This is due to the lengthy time of latency, which can be between 20 and 60 year from the time of exposure until diagnosis. Mesothelioma may occur in different parts of the body, based on the type and amount of asbestos litigation. Pleural mesothelioma can be found in the lung's lining cavity and chest wall (the pleura). Peritoneal mesothelioma develops in the abdominal lining, which is known as the peritoneum.
Most often, people who have been exposed develop mesothelioma in the chest or lungs. People who worked in the shipbuilding, power generation and construction sectors are the most at risk. However, mesothelioma may develop in people who were exposed to asbestos at home or at school. This is because children and spouses of workers who were exposed to asbestos could carry the asbestos fibers into their clothes, skin and hair, which puts them at risk too.
Mesothelioma patients tend to be white and older than 65. They are also more likely to have a blue-collar job or military background. Asbestos Legal was widely used by the United States Navy and other branches in the military because of its flame-resistant qualities. Many veterans were exposed to asbestos.
When DNA changes occur, they may cause cells to multiply unchecked. This causes the development of tumors, which eventually turn into mesothelioma. The disease can be affecting any part of the body, but typically, it is found in the abdomen or chest.
Smoking cigarettes does not cause mesothelioma, but it increases the risk of developing this cancer by increasing the amount of asbestos an individual inhales. Therefore, anyone who has been exposed to asbestos should consider abstaining from smoking cigarettes.
Furthermore, a person's mesothelioma treatment plan should involve an experienced doctor who is knowledgeable about asbestos exposure and the risk factors associated with this cancer. A mesothelioma specialist who is experienced with them can help them determine the best approach to treat this rare cancer. The doctor will determine if the patient is eligible for immunotherapy or other experimental treatments.
Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a natural mineral that is utilized in many different products, including insulation, roofing and flooring. Workers who handle, make or work with asbestos-containing products are at high risk for exposure. Exposure to loose asbestos fibers can result in breathing them into the lungs, where they cause illness and cancer.
There is a long period of latency between the exposure to asbestos and the onset of symptoms which makes it difficult to identify many asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma, the most dangerous of asbestos-related illnesses, is no exception. Symptoms of mesothelioma can develop between 20 and 60 years after exposure to asbestos.
The most common method by which people are exposed to asbestos is through occupational exposure. Construction, manufacturing, electrical and automotive mechanic jobs all require handling asbestos-related parts and materials. However, individuals can also be exposed to asbestos litigation by home activities, like smoking or renovation of older houses that contain asbestos.
Inhalation of asbestos is the main mesothelioma-related cause. Inhaled asbestos fibers can travel to the lungs, where they irritate the lining of the lungs, known as pleura. This irritation can lead to thickened patches of pleura (pleural plates) and fibrosis in the lung. As the disease progresses it can cause fluid accumulation in the chest cavity (pleural effusion) and eventually lung cancer. Mesothelioma can also affect the tissues of other organs, such as the heart or abdomen.
People who are exposed to asbestos at work are at a higher chance of developing mesothelioma. People with a history of family members or mesothelioma, or any other asbestos-related illnesses are also at risk. A person's risk is also higher if they've been exposed to asbestos in multiple jobs over their lifetime. Smoking cigarettes doesn't increase the risk of mesothelioma but it can make the condition worse for those who have been diagnosed. If you have an history of exposure to asbestos and have mesothelioma symptoms, quitting smoking can make you healthier and improve the outcome of your treatment. It is crucial to inform your doctor about your exposure to asbestos and any new symptoms, such as shortness of breath or abdominal pain, since they can treat the condition by undergoing surgery or medication.
Genetics
Many cancers have a genetic link which means that genetic factors can increase their chances of getting a specific disease. However, mesothelioma does not have any genetic component. Instead exposure to asbestos is the main cause.
Asbestos fibers enter the body via inhalation or swallowed, and they stick to the lining of the chest (the pleura) or the abdomen (the peritoneum) or around the heart (the pericardium). These fibers that are loose can cause damage to the cells that make up these tiny linings over time. This could lead to mesothelioma.
However, mesothelioma may not affect every person who is exposed. Researchers believe other factors can affect the likelihood of developing mesothelioma following exposure to asbestos. This includes the person's gender and age and their family history of mesothelioma or other diseases and whether they have additional risk factors like smoking.
Mesothelioma is more likely to occur in men than women. This is due to the fact that more men than women were exposed to asbestos directly at work. Mesothelioma is a cancer that can develop between 20 and 60 year after the first exposure to asbestos.
A defective gene is a further risk factor for mesothelioma. In a study of two families with high mesothelioma rates researchers found that almost every member of the family carried an abnormal gene on the short arm of chromosome 3 This gene, dubbed BAP 1 regulates the flow of calcium inside cells. A faulty gene disrupts this process and causes calcium levels to decrease. This allows asbestos to mutate healthy cells into cancerous ones, causing mesothelioma.
In addition an mutated gene in the immune system of a person can increase the risk of developing mesothelioma due to exposure to asbestos. People with this mutated gene have a lower level of white blood cells, which are the cells that fight off cancerous cells.
The kind of asbestos to which an individual was exposed as well as their work can also increase the risk of mesothelioma. In addition the polio vaccine that was given to children in the 1940s and 1950s may increase a person's mesothelioma risk by exposing them to the cancer-causing SV40 virus.
