Mesothelioma - A Rare Asbestos Disease
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that is found in the lining of internal organs typically the lungs (pleura) and, less frequently the abdomen (peritoneum). Exposure to asbestos results in an higher risk of developing this disease.
The main risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure asbestos, which is a heat- and fire-resistant mineral fiber. However, symptoms may be delayed for a long time after exposure.
Symptoms
Mesothelioma, a tumor that is cancerous that develops in the tissues lining the lungs and heart, is caused by asbestos fibers. Typically, it occurs when people inhale asbestos fibers that enter the bloodstream and get absorbed in the lining of organs. People most likely to have this disease are those who worked with asbestos, for example, miners, plumbers carpenters, welders and carpenters. It can also occur in those who were workers who brought asbestos to their homes on their clothes or skin. Other people at risk include those who live in a home where asbestos is present and those who are disturbed by asbestos during home renovations or maintenance.
There are four mesothelioma stages. Patients in the early and mid-stages don't show any symptoms and may suffer for a while before they are diagnosed. By the time they are diagnosed the cancer is advanced and difficult to treat.
The symptoms of mesothelioma may not typically appear until decades after exposure. The disease can take a long time to develop because asbestos [from this source] fibers must be transported from the lungs into other parts of the body before they can cause mesothelioma. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the lung's lining (pleural mesothelioma) but it can begin in the lining of the stomach or heart. It can also appear in the linings of the reproductive organs.
The best way to diagnose mesothelioma is to ask a doctor to take a biopsy from the affected area. The specimen is then examined under microscopes to determine whether the cancer cells are mesothelioma, or another kind of cancer.
Doctors may also order x-rays, CT scans or MRI to help identify the problem and determine if there is a tumor, thickening of the lining within the chest or abdomen and fluid in the chest cavity. They may also recommend an examination of lung function to determine how well a person's lungs are working.
A misdiagnosis of mesothelioma could be dangerous because it may delay the beginning of treatment that can improve a patient's prognosis. It is therefore important to see a doctor when you notice any signs. A GP will evaluate the symptoms and signs and examine a person's history of exposure to asbestos.
Diagnosis
Mesothelioma, a type of cancer that occurs in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a protective layer that covers many internal organs of the body including the abdominal cavity and the chest cavity. Pleural mesothelioma is a disease that affects the outer layer (pleura) of the lungs. In less frequent instances, mesothelioma may occur in the membrane that runs along the abdomen (peritoneum) or the heart sac (pericardium) and, more rarely, it can arise in the testicles (tunica vaginalis mesothelioma or tunica vaginalis mesothelioma testicular).
A doctor can identify the disease by taking a tissue sample for imaging tests or biopsy. A doctor will then determine the mesothelioma's grade, which indicates the severity of the disease and how likely to grow.
The most significant mesothelioma risk factor is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally-occurring resistant to heat and fire fiber that was utilized in the manufacturing and construction industries until the late 1970s. People who worked in professions such as asbestos mining or milling, pipefitters, insulators plumbers, pipefitters, and those who remodelled older homes are at greater risk than other individuals of developing mesothelioma.
Inhaling tiny asbestos fibers could cause mesothelioma. These tiny asbestos fibers can get trapped in the lungs and cause inflammation that causes lung scarring. Asbestos exposure may also increase a person's chances of smoking, which could further increase the risk for mesothelioma.
The risk of developing mesothelioma increases with the length of time they've been exposed to asbestos. People who have been exposed to the highest levels of asbestos are at the greatest chance of developing mesothelioma.
There are a few risk factors that can be changed, such as a person's age or whether they smoke, but most mesothelioma-related risk factors are linked to asbestos claim exposure. Some of these risk factors aren't changeable for example, the history of a family member or genetics. A person's mesothelioma risk is also increased if they have certain illnesses or health conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
Treatment
Mesothelioma is a condition that affects the mesothel lines the lungs and abdomen. People who have been exposed to asbestos are at the risk of developing mesothelioma. The disease typically develops over the years after asbestos exposure. It is often difficult to recognize, as symptoms are often similar to other conditions and can change. Mesothelioma patients can receive compensation via lawsuits or trust funds.
Mesothelioma has no cure, but treatments are available to manage the disease and improve the quality of life. Patients should seek medical treatment from doctors who have experience treating the disease. Doctors will examine the medical history of the patient to look for signs and other mesothelioma-related risk factors, including asbestos exposure.
Exposure to asbestos is the most frequent cause mesothelioma. It is usually caused by breathing in tiny asbestos fibers that hang in the air. The asbestos fibers can be stuck in the lungs and can trigger genetic mutations that cause cancer. The most common mesothelioma type is called pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs. However, it can also be found in the linings of the chest wall (pericardium) as well as the abdomen and testicles (peritoneal mesothelioma).
Like all cancers, mesothelioma is caused by the DNA of a cell experiencing mutations. The mutations cause the cells to expand uncontrollably, which results in an increase in the size of the tumor. Mesothelioma is found most often in males who are over 75 and those who have served in the U.S. military.
There are many types of mesothelioma and each one has a different rate of survival. Patients should be aware that a mesothelioma diagnosis is an extremely serious condition and can be very challenging to treat. The research is progressing however there is some hope. Veterans with mesothelioma may also be eligible for VA benefits.
Prevention
Mesothelioma is a rare illness, but it is very avoidable. Asbestos is a mineral that is naturally occurring that was once extensively used in shipbuilding, construction and other industries due to its unique qualities of durability, strength as well as fire resistance and heat insulation. However, the tiny fibers of asbestos become airborne when disturbed and if breathed in, they could cause serious health issues such as mesothelioma.
The only way to avoid mesothelioma is not to be exposed to asbestos. Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma, and most people diagnosed with the disease have been exposed to asbestos at some point throughout their lives. Other factors can increase the risk of developing mesothelioma, including smoking, age and genes.
Mesothelioma typically affects the abdomen and lungs. (tummy). Rarely, mesothelioma is found in other parts of the body. Mesothelioma takes many years to develop, and it could not be apparent for 20 or 40 years after exposure to asbestos claim. It is important that people who have been exposed to asbestos regularly consult their doctor if they are experiencing any unusual symptoms, including breathlessness and coughing.
Symptoms of asbestosis include tightness in the chest, persistent coughing and a bluish appearance to the skin due to the body is trying to get enough oxygen. Inhaled asbestos fibers can also cause irritation to the lungs, leading to scarring referred to as fibrosis. This can cause an accumulation of fluid in the lungs and in other areas of the body, including the heart. Inflammation can cause genetic changes, which could cause cancerous growth in the lungs.
There is no cure for asbestosis, but there are treatments available to alleviate the symptoms. These treatments can improve the quality of life and air quality for patients.
Mesothelioma is usually found in the lungs, but it can also affect the stomach, testicles and the heart. It isn't always possible to avoid mesothelioma however, there are steps individuals can take to lessen their risk of exposure. They should always check for asbestos in the workplace and ask their employer for safety standards that they should adhere to. Wearing protective gear and washing at home away from work clothes is a good idea so that asbestos fibers are not transferred to the clothes of family members.
