Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma afflicts the linings of organs internal to them. Asbestos exposure is the main risk factor.
Asbestos was an extremely fire- and heat- resistant mineral fiber that was utilized in a variety of jobs before it was banned in 1970. Construction workers, miners shipyard workers, factory employees and veterans are at the most risk of being exposed.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the protective linings that surround different organs of the body called the mesothelium. Malignant mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs as well as the abdomen. It may also grow in the linings of the heart or the testes (pericardium). Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. Asbestos exposure is the only known mesothelioma-related cause. Asbestos is a fibrous substance that was once a popular choice in American industries because it is affordable and fire-proof. It was employed in the construction of structures, homes, ships, airplanes and automobiles. People who worked on these projects could have been exposed to asbestos when workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to these chemicals could result in mesothelioma a few decades after exposure.
The first signs of mesothelioma are usually similar to those of other illnesses, including lung cancer, which makes it difficult to determine. Initial symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more severe symptoms could emerge, like weight loss and fatigue.
There are four different kinds of mesothelioma. Each kind has a different prognosis. The most prevalent type is pleural, which affects the linings of the lungs (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other mesothelioma types are testicular, pericardial and peritoneal. Each type has unique symptoms. However they all are identified with an inflamed malignant tumor that encircles vital organs.
When doctors suspect mesothelioma, they will order a biopsy to check for the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined with microscope. If cancer is found and the patient is diagnosed with sarcomatoid or epithelioid mesothelio. Epithelioid Mesothelioma is responsible for 70% to 80% of all mesothelioma and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary, accounts for just 10% of mesothelioma-related diagnoses and has a lower prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has come into contact with asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. However, certain groups have a greater chance of being diagnosed with the disease than other. Workers in asbestos and military veterans and those with mesothelioma-related history are among the groups. People who have had radiation therapy related to asbestos are also at chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma symptoms
Mesothelioma develops in the tissue that line and protect organs inside including the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The likelihood of developing mesothelioma rises when asbestos is exposed during work. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. It affects the lining of the lung.
Asbestos fibers cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes cells are damaged and genetic changes result in them becoming malignant. Tumors can develop. Symptoms of mesothelioma vary and can include coughing chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss is also a symptom. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer, and it can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to begin to show. The symptoms are often confused with other diseases such as the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is not easy to identify because it is not common and the symptoms are similar to other diseases.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma with asbestos legal exposure until the patient has reached the mesothelioma's final stages. At this stage the doctor will typically ask the patient about his or her prior exposure to asbestos and then perform a physical examination. Doctors can use imaging scans to help diagnose mesothelioma and rule out other diseases.
In addition to a physical exam the doctor might also suggest imaging scans or blood tests of the chest and abdomen. Imaging tests can include CT scans or MRIs as well as PET scans or X-rays. A biopsy may be ordered by a physician to confirm a mesothelioma diagnose and to determine which mesothelioma type is present. The biopsy may be an exploratory or minimally-invasive procedure.
In an examination, doctors remove small amounts of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cell can be epithelioid, biphasic or sarcomatoid with the first two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and is more likely to have a shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a combination of the two types and accounts for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is usually found in the lung lining (pleura), though it can also develop in the abdomen's lining (peritoneum) or the heart's lining (pericardium). Every year, mesothelioma is discovered in about 3,000 people. It is the only cancer known to be caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop following exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with properties that resist heat. For many years it was utilized in a variety of American industries because it was inexpensive and fire-resistant. The asbestos industry was especially profitable for the construction industry where it was employed as a fireproofing and insulation material in buildings, ships cars and other items. Construction workers were the most at risk of being exposed to asbestos litigation.
Workers who worked with asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health problems. The fibers can be swallowed and inhaled and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. As time passes irritation can lead to scar tissue that can result in tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma can affect different areas of the body. Pleural mesothelioma is the most prevalent, affecting the lining of the chest cavity and the lungs. It is the most prevalent type of mesothelioma and may cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining and cause symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive issues. It can also affect the linings of the heart, causing unique symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.
Because mesothelioma can be misinterpreted as other illnesses, it is important to consult your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms. Your doctor will do an examination of your body and may request imaging scans to check for any abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests will allow doctors to determine if mesothelioma related changes are present within your body.
Although mesothelioma isn't contagious however, relatives of those who were exposed to asbestos are at a higher risk for developing the disease. People who were exposed brought asbestos fibers home and sprayed them on their clothing hair, skin and hair. These individuals could inhale asbestos fibers. Secondary asbestos exposure is the term used to describe this kind of asbestos exposure secondhand.
Treatment for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, just like other cancers, is a result of cells in the human body begin to multiply uncontrollably. They may also reproduce and spread to other areas of the body, causing tumors to develop.
Asbestos exposure is the main mesothelioma-related risk factor. Asbestos was a fibrous material that was used in construction, as well as other industries before it was banned in the 1970s. When exposed, the microscopic fibres are ingested and inhaled. They may then get lodged in the linings of certain organs and cause mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos and were responsible for removing or handling it in the workplace, have the highest chance of developing mesothelioma. However, blue-collar workers and even relatives of asbestos legal-related workers are also at risk. Workers could carry asbestos legal fibers home on their clothing. Family members could inhale asbestos fibers when they clean their clothes.
While mesothelioma can be rare, it's important to consult a doctor if your symptoms are related to this disease. They may include chest pain, difficulty breathing or an ongoing cough. The doctor will ask you about your medical history, and ask if you've ever been exposed to asbestos. They will also perform physical examination and a chest Xray to determine if you have mesothelioma. Other tests include a computed-tomography scan (CT), positron-emission tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
If mesothelioma is diagnosed, your doctor will talk with you about possible treatment options. These could include chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Treatment options will depend on the type of mesothelioma, and how far it has advanced.
While there is no cure for mesothelioma but the right treatment can increase the chance of survival.
