Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma can affect the linings of internal organs. The most significant risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Miner, construction workers shipyard workers, factory workers and veteran employees are at greatest risk of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that grows in the protective linings that cover various organs within the body called the mesothelium. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma is found in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. However, it also can form in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or testes. About 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous, brittle material that was once a popular choice in American industries because it is cheap and fire-resistant. It was used to construct structures, homes as well as ships, aircrafts, and automobiles. People who worked on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after exposure.
The first symptoms of mesothelioma are usually similar to those of other illnesses such as lung cancer, making it difficult to determine. Early symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms may be observed, including fatigue and weight loss.
There are four distinct types of mesothelioma. Each type has a distinct prognosis. The most prevalent type is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lung's lining as well as the chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types include testicular, pericardial and peritoneal. Each type has its own distinct symptoms. However each type is characterized by an inflamed malignant tumour that surrounds the vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will order a biopsies to look for cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined with microscope. If cancer is found the patient can be diagnosed with epithelioid, or mesothelioma sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma makes up 70 percent to 80% of all mesothelioma patients and is more receptive to treatment. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma accounts for only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a lower prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma than others. These include those who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those who have a family history of mesothelioma. In addition, those who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma symptoms
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect organs inside such as the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent mesothelioma. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers cause irritation to the mesothelium, and over time, the cells get damaged. The genetic changes that happen result in the cells becoming malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary, but they typically include coughing, chest pain and breathing problems. Other symptoms include nausea and fatigue. Weight loss can also be a sign. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to appear. Most of the time, the symptoms are misinterpreted as other illnesses like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is also difficult to diagnose, because it is a rare condition and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically doctors don't connect mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the end-stages of mesothelioma. At this point the doctor will typically inquire about the patient's or her previous exposure to asbestos and perform an examination. Imaging scans are used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma, and rule out other illnesses.
In addition to a physical examination the doctor may also recommend blood tests or imaging scans of the abdomen and chest. Imaging tests could include CT scans or MRIs as well as PET scans or X-rays. The doctor may also order a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine the kind of mesothelioma that patient is suffering from. The biopsy could be an exploratory procedure or an minimally invasive procedure.
During an examination, doctors remove mesothelium in small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid form is less responsive to treatment 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 first types and is responsible for between 30 and 40% of all diagnoses of mesothelioma.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma most commonly occurs in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It can also occur in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. About 3000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with properties that resist heat. It was used for decades in many American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction industry, where it was employed to insulate and strengthen buildings, ships, automobiles and other products. Those who worked in the construction industry were among those most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who worked with asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health problems. The fibers are easily inhaled or swallowed and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. Over time irritation causes scar tissue to grow, leading to tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma can affect different areas of the body. Pleural mesothelioma has the highest prevalence that affects the lining of the chest cavity and the lungs. It is the most common form of mesothelioma, and it can cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive problems. It can also affect linings of the heart, causing distinctive symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Mesothelioma symptoms may be confused with other ailments. It is important to consult your doctor if any of these symptoms are present. Your doctor will conduct an examination and physical exam. They may also require imaging scans to look for any abnormalities. These tests can include CT scans, MRIs and PET scans. These tests can help doctors determine if there is any changes within your body that could be connected to mesothelioma.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious, family members of those who have been exposed to asbestos are at greater risk of developing the disease. This is due to the fact that those who were exposed to asbestos often brought home asbestos claim fibers on their clothing hair, skin, and.
