Mesothelioma

Asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, when they damage or irritate the lung cells (pleura) and abdominal cavities (peritoneum). Eventually the abnormal cells grow into tumors.

The symptoms of mesothelioma can take between 10 and 50 years to manifest and are often mistaken for other illnesses. The only risk factor that is known is asbestos exposure.

Pleural Mesothelioma

The lungs and chest wall are affected by pleural mesothelioma. Patients diagnosed with this form of mesothelioma generally suffer from symptoms like breathing difficulty, chest pain and coughing. Certain patients also have an accumulation of fluid between the lung and the chest wall which is known as an pleural effusion. Asbestos fibers may cause irritation to the linings of the chest and lung. Over time, the irritated lining forms tumors that expand into the pleura. The tumors may spread to the peritoneum, bones, and liver.

It typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop pleural mesothelioma after exposure to asbestos. People who have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at the highest risk of developing this disease. Blue-collar workers as well as veterans working on ships and shipyards are especially at risk.

A patient may be afflicted with symptoms for several weeks prior to doctors diagnose pleural mesothelioma. The symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, and a dry cough. Patients suffering from this condition may also have an unprovoked low fever or weight loss. A doctor can diagnose mesothelioma following taking a patient's history of exposure to asbestos and performing an examination. Chest X-rays or CT scans are possible. These tests can reveal accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity or a tumor in one of the lungs.

The first step to treating pleural mesothelioma is draining excess fluid. This can be done by doctors using the procedure known as thoracentesis. It involves insertion of a thin flexible tube between two ribs inside the chest cavity. This tube provides doctors with the ability to examine the area and collect the pleural fluid sample. The fluid can be analyzed by doctors to determine if it is cancerous.

The prognosis for pleural cancer depends on a number of factors, including the stage and size of the cancer. The prognosis could be affected by the patient's age, and whether smoking cigarettes or not. The rate of survival for a person is also influenced by their overall health and how quickly they seek treatment following a diagnosis. Asbestos victims who are treated early and aggressively have the best chance of a successful outcome.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs along the abdomen's lining, also known as the peritoneum. Although this mesothelioma type has a lower incidence than the more common type known as pleural mesothelioma is still a fatal illness. Work-related exposure to asbestos compensation is the most significant reason for mesothelioma peritoneal. asbestos lawsuit fibers that are breathed in or ingested enter the digestive tract, and then travel through the lymphatic system to reach the peritoneal tissues. Once inside, they cause DNA damage and can irritate the cells. Over time the inflammation that follows causes scar tissue and tumours to form.

Like other mesothelioma types, peritoneal mesothelioma can take years to manifest. It can also be a difficult cancer to detect because its symptoms are similar to those of other abdominal issues. This is why peritoneal mesothelioma sufferers often get misdiagnosed or delay treatment.

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

As with other forms of mesothelioma, doctors detect peritoneal mesothelioma by taking the use of a biopsy. This procedure involves removing an insignificant portion of the affected tissue to be examined under a microscope. These tests can reveal whether the tumors are active or not, as well as the type of cancerous cells present (epithelioid sarcomatoid).

Doctors assign a peritoneal stage to mesothelioma based on its location, amount of 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 the mesothelioma is.

Patients suffering from mesothelioma should see a specialist doctor trained in this rare disease. Without a specialist patients are at risk of having their symptoms misdiagnosed as an abdomen issue that is more common and getting delayed treatment. This could be a serious issue due to mesothelioma's long latency period and requires a thorough diagnosis to ensure the proper treatment.

Cardiac Mesothelioma

While peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma are the most common types of asbestos-related cancers Patients may also be diagnosed with mesothelioma pericardial. This rare type of cancer is caused by asbestos fibers invade the tissue of your heart. It is often difficult to diagnose the condition because symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses. Patients who suffer from pericardial mesothelioma should disclose the history of exposure to asbestos to their physicians and discuss any symptoms that have occurred recently with them.

Like pleural mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma typically affects males more frequently than females. Researchers aren't certain of the reason for this disparity. It could be that different asbestos exposures trigger pericardial mesothelioma, or the risk of developing the disease increases with age.

After a physical examination and asking the patient about their exposure to asbestos, a doctor may suspect pericardial cancer. The doctor can request an CT scan and chest xray to determine if there are signs of fluid accumulation around your heart (known as the pericardial effusion).

Pericardial Mesothelioma is a condition that occurs mostly in the membrane that surrounds the heart. These symptoms can be very serious and hinder the patient's ability to lead an ordinary life. They may include chest pain, breathing problems and breath shortness. In some instances the fluid may build up and put pressure on the heart and result in cardiac tamponade.

Mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs or chest wall. However, mesothelioma can be found in the abdominal cavity as well as the heart's lining (pericardium).

Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma. Blue-collar workers and the military in the United States were exposed to asbestos in large amounts. Asbestos manufacturers knew asbestos was dangerous, but they did not warn employees or make clear the dangers. From the 1930s to the 1980s, asbestos claim was extensively used in shipbuilding, construction and power plants. Exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Most of the time mesothelioma is not diagnosed until several years after exposure. Often, the illness is incorrectly diagnosed. The symptoms can develop between 20 and 60 year after exposure to asbestos.

A doctor will look over your medical history in order to identify mesothelioma as well as other health issues. He or she will inquire about your employment history, and whether you were exposed to asbestos. People who worked in industries that handled or shipped asbestos are more at risk of developing mesothelioma compared to those who were not.

The treatment options for mesothelioma rely on the type of cancer and its stage. In most cases, chemotherapy and surgery are the most commonly used treatments. In certain cases there is radiation treatment. Immunotherapy is a different option to treat mesothelioma. However, the research is still in its early stages.
