Mesothelioma

Asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, when they irritate or damage the lung-lined cells (pleura) and abdominal cavities (peritoneum). These abnormal cells eventually develop into tumors.

The symptoms of mesothelioma can take anywhere from 10 - 50 years for symptoms to be noticed and are often confused with other ailments. A history of asbestos exposure is the only known risk factor.

Pleural Mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma can affect the chest wall and lungs. Patients diagnosed with this type of mesothelioma typically suffer from symptoms like breathing difficulty, chest pain and coughing. In addition some patients experience an accumulation of fluid in the lung's space and chest wall, referred to as an the pleural effusion. asbestos litigation fibers may cause irritation to the lung and chest linings. lung. Over time the lining that has been irritated forms tumors that expand into the pleura. The tumors may spread to the peritoneum and bones, as well as to the liver.

After exposure to asbestos it could take between 20 and 50 years for a person to develop pleural Mesothelioma. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at highest risk of developing this disease. Workers in shipyards and on ships and veterans, are at risk.

A patient may be afflicted with symptoms for a few weeks before a doctor diagnoses pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms include chest pain, fatigue and dry cough. Patients suffering from this condition might also experience a low fever and unexplained weight loss. A doctor can detect mesothelioma after taking a history of the patient's exposure to asbestos and performing a physical exam. Chest X-rays or CT scans are usually performed. These tests may reveal fluid buildup in the chest cavity or a tumor that surrounds one of the lung's.

The first step to treat pleural msothelioma is draining the excess fluid. Doctors can do this through the procedure known as thoracentesis which involves inserting a thin tube into the chest cavity between two ribs. The tube gives doctors the ability to examine the area and collect a sample of pleural liquid. The fluid can be examined by a doctor to determine whether it is cancerous.

The patient's age and smoking habits can also impact prognosis. The survival rate of a patient is also influenced by their general health and how quickly they seek treatment following an diagnosis. Asbestos patients that are treated quickly and with a high degree of urgency have the greatest chance of a favorable outcome.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Peritoneal Mesothelioma occurs along the lining that covers the abdomen, also known as the peritoneum. This kind of mesothelioma is less common than pleural mesothelioma but it can still be fatal. The exposure to asbestos in the workplace is the most significant reason for peritoneal mesothelioma. This is because ingested or inhaled asbestos legal fibers are absorbed by the digestive tract and then pass through the lymphatic system into the peritoneal tissue. Once there, they irritate cells and damage DNA. Over time, the resulting inflammation can cause scar tissue and tumors to grow.

Like other mesothelioma types Peritoneal mesothelioma is a form that can take years to manifest. It is also a difficult cancer to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to those of other abdominal disorders.

These tests can determine if the tumors are aggressive or not, and the type of cancerous cells present (epithelioid sarcomatoid).

Doctors assign a stage to mesothelioma of the peritoneal region in accordance with its location and the extent of tumor growth, and the rate at which it spreads to other tissues. The more extensive and aggressive the cancerous cells are in the stage of advanced mesothelioma has reached.

Patients suffering from mesothelioma should see a specialist doctor specially trained in this rare condition.

This rare type of cancer develops when asbestos fibers invade the tissue of your heart. It is often difficult to determine the cause because the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases. Patients who experience pericardial mesothelioma should disclose the history of exposure to asbestos to their medical professionals and share any recent symptoms with them.

Pericardial mesothelioma occurs more frequently in men than in women. Researchers are unsure of the root cause for this distinction. It could be that different asbestos exposures trigger mesothelioma pericardial, or the risk of developing the disease increases with age.

After an examination of the body and questioning the patient about their exposure to asbestos claim, a physician may suspect pericardial cancer. The physician can request a CT scan and chest x-rays to determine if there are any indications of a build-up of fluid around your heart (known as the pericardial effusion).

Pericardial Mesothelioma develops typically in the membrane that surrounds the heart. These symptoms can be grave and could affect the quality of life of the patient. They can be accompanied by chest pain, breathing difficulties and breath shortness. In certain cases, the fluid can accumulate and cause pressure on the heart can lead to cardiac tamponade.

From the 1930s until the 1980s, asbestos litigation was widely used in construction, shipbuilding and power plants. The exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma and lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases.

The majority of mesothelioma cases do not manifest until years after exposure. The disease is often not properly diagnosed. The symptoms can develop between 20 and 60 years after exposure to asbestos.
