Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma can affect the linings of organs internal to them. The primary risk factor is exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos was a heat- and fire resistant mineral fiber used in a variety of jobs before it was banned in the year 1970. Miner, construction workers, shipyard, factory and veteran workers are at risk the most of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is a liner that protects the organs in the body. Malignant mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs as well as the abdomen. However, it can also develop in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. Around 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 was once a popular fibrous material in American industries due to its low cost and fire resistance. It was used in the construction of cars, homes, and buildings. The people who worked on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to these materials could lead to mesothelioma many decades after exposure.
It is difficult to identify mesothelioma since the initial symptoms are similar to those of other diseases such as lung cancer. The initial symptoms may include breathing difficulties and chest pain as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, including weight loss and fatigue could develop.
There are four kinds of mesothelioma and each type has an individual prognosis. The most prevalent type is pleural, which affects the linings of the lungs (pleura) and chest cavity. Other types of mesothelioma include the peritoneal (pericardial) testicular and the peritoneal. Each type has unique symptoms. However they all are identified by an inflamed malignant tumour that surrounds the vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they will request a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample is taken from the area affected and examined under a microscope. If cancer is detected the patient is diagnosed with sarcomatoid or epithelioid mesothelio. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts to 70% to 80% mesothelioma in all cases and is more sensitive. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma is only 10% of mesothelioma cases and has a lower prognosis.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are more likely of being diagnosed with the disease than other. The asbestos-related workers and military veterans and those with mesothelioma history are among these groups. People who have had radiation therapy related to asbestos are also at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma

The chance of developing mesothelioma is increased when asbestos is exposed at work. The most frequent mesothelioma type is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium. Over time, cells become damaged and genetic changes make them malignant. Tumors develop. Symptoms of mesothelioma vary and can include coughing, chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include nausea and fatigue. Weight loss is another symptom. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first signs to begin to show. The symptoms are often mistaken for other illnesses, such as pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is extremely difficult to identify, because it is not common and the symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses.
Typically doctors do not link mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient is in the late stages of mesothelioma. The doctor will ask about the patient's past asbestos exposure and perform a physical exam. Imaging scans can be utilized by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
In addition to a physical exam the doctor may also recommend imaging scans or blood tests of the abdomen and chest. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans or X-rays. A biopsy may be ordered by a physician to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine which kind of mesothelioma is present. The biopsy may be an exploratory surgery or an minimally invasive procedure.
In the procedure, doctors take out mesothelium in small amounts and look for mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cell can be epithelioid or sarcomatoid or biphasic, with the two types making up the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and is more likely to have shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more receptive to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a combination of the two types and is responsible for 30 to 40% of mesothelioma diagnosis.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or the pericardium. Every year, mesothelioma is diagnosed in a few thousand people. It is the only cancer caused by asbestos. It usually takes 20 to 50 years for mesothelioma growth after exposure.
asbestos litigation is a mineral that naturally occurs has properties that resist heat. It was extensively used in many American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction sector where it was employed for fireproofing and as an insulation material in ship construction, buildings cars and many other products. People who worked in the construction industry were the most at risk of being exposed to asbestos.
Workers who handled asbestos or removed it were exposed to fibers which are sharp and could cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily swallowed and inhaled, and can irritate mesothelium. As time passes the irritation causes scar tissue to accumulate which can lead to tumors.
Different types of mesothelioma affect different areas of the body. The most common mesothelioma is one that affects the lining of the chest cavity and lung. This is the most frequent mesothelioma type and may cause symptoms such as breathing problems or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining and cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, or digestive issues.

When exposed, the microscopic fibres can be inhaled and ingested. They can then be encased in the linings of certain organs, causing mesothelioma.
Workers who were exposed to asbestos, especially those who were responsible for removing or handling it, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma.
