Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma happens when asbestos fibers cause irritation and damage the cells that line the lung (pleura) or abdominal cavity (peritoneum). These abnormal cells can transform into tumors.
The symptoms of mesothelioma may take between 10 - 50 years for symptoms to appear and are often confused with other diseases. An asbestos-related history is the sole known risk factor.
Pleural Mesothelioma
Pleural mesothelioma can affect the lung and chest wall. Patients diagnosed with this form of mesothelioma typically suffer from symptoms like chest pain, breathing difficulty and coughing. Certain patients also have an accumulation of fluid between their lung and the wall of the chest, called a the pleural effusion. Asbestos fibers may cause irritation to the tissues of the chest and lung. Over time, the irritated tissue forms tumors that expand into the pleura. The tumors can spread to the peritoneum and bones, as well as to the liver.
It typically takes 20 to 50 years for someone to develop pleural mesothelioma following exposure to asbestos. The people who were exposed at work to asbestos are at the greatest chance of developing the disease. Blue-collar workers and veterans who work on ships and shipyards are particularly at risk.
It may take several weeks before a doctor can diagnose the condition of pleural asbestosis. It is possible to experience breathing problems or coughing, dry chest pain and fatigue. This condition may also result in an unprovoked loss of weight. A physician can identify mesothelioma through a detailed medical history of the patient's asbestos exposure and performing a physical exam. The chest may be examined with X-rays, or CT scans are possible. These tests can reveal a fluid buildup in the chest cavity or a tumor around one of the lungs.
The first step to treat pleural msothelioma involves draining the excess fluid. This can be done by doctors through the procedure called thoracentesis. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube between two ribs inside the chest cavity. This tube allows doctors to observe the area and take samples of the pleural fluid. A doctor will then test the fluid to determine if it is cancerous or non-cancerous.
The prognosis of a patient with mesothelioma of the pleural is based on several factors, including the stage of the tumor as well as the extent of the cancer. A patient's age as well as smoking habits can affect the prognosis. The general health of a person and how quickly they seek medical treatment following a diagnosis may impact their chances of survival. asbestos lawsuits victims who are treated early and with a high degree of urgency have the greatest chance of a good outcome.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Peritoneal mesothelioma develops along the lining of the abdomen known as the peritoneum. While this type of mesothelioma lawsuits accounts for fewer cases than the most prevalent form called pleural mesothelioma is still a deadly disease. The exposure to asbestos in the workplace is the most significant reason for mesothelioma peritoneal. Asbestos fibers inhaled or ingested are absorbed by the digestive system and then travel through the lymphatic system to the peritoneal tissues. Once inside, they cause DNA damage and can irritate the cells. In time, the inflammation causes scar tissue and tumors to grow.
Like other forms of mesothelioma the peritoneal mesothelioma may take years to manifest. It is also difficult to identify because its symptoms are similar to those of other abdominal problems. Thus, patients with peritoneal Msothelioma are often misdiagnosed and delayed in their treatment.
Patients with peritoneal asbestosis experience severe abdominal pain and fever, as well as weight loss. They might struggle to digest food due to the fluid buildup in their abdomen. They also have greater risk of developing anemia and low levels of albumin.
Like other types of mesothelioma, doctors identify peritoneal mesothelioma with the use of a biopsy. The goal of this procedure is to take a small sample of the affected tissue for examination under an microscope by mesothelioma specialists. These tests can identify the kinds of cancerous cells (epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic) and also determine the severity of the tumors.
Doctors assign a peritoneal phase to mesothelioma according to its location, extent of tumor growth, and the rate of spread to other tissues. The more extensive the tumors and the more aggressive cell type, the more advanced the stage of the mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma patients should always consult a mesothelioma specialist who has specialized training for this rare condition. Without such a physician patients run the risk of being misdiagnosed with a more common abdomen problem and receiving delayed treatment. This can be a problem since mesothelioma is a type of cancer with a long latent period. It requires a thorough diagnosis to ensure the proper treatment.
Cardiac Mesothelioma
While peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma are the most common types of asbestos-related cancers, patients may also be diagnosed with mesothelioma of the pericardium. This rare form of cancer develops when asbestos fibers get into the heart's lining. It can be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms are similar to those of other conditions. Patients suffering from pericardial msothelioma are advised to tell their doctors about their asbestos exposure history as well as any recent signs.
Pericardial mesothelioma occurs more frequently in males than females. Researchers are unsure of the cause of this distinction. It could be that different asbestos exposures trigger mesothelioma pericardial, or the chance of developing the disease increases with age.
A patient's doctor might start to suspect pericardial cancer after performing a physical exam and asking about their asbestos exposure. The doctor can then request a chest x-ray and CT scan to see if there is any evidence of the accumulation of fluid around the heart (known as pericardial effusion).
Pericardial Mesothelioma develops typically in the membrane that surrounds the heart. These symptoms can be severe and interfere with the patient's ability to lead an ordinary life. They can include chest pain, difficulty breathing and breath shortness. In some instances, the fluid may build up and cause pressure on the heart, leading to cardiac tamponade.

Reproductive Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma may affect the lining of organs such as the chest, abdomen or the heart. It can also occur in the lining of the eyes (periocular mesothelioma) and testicles (testicular mesothelioma). Rarely, mesothelioma is found in other areas of the body, such as the kidneys, stomach or heart valves. Mesothelioma typically develops in the chest wall and lungs. However, mesothelioma can also occur in the abdominal cavity and the heart's lining (pericardium).
Mesothelioma's main cause is asbestos exposure. Blue-collar workers as well as the military in the United States were exposed to asbestos in large quantities. Asbestos manufacturers knew asbestos was hazardous, but did not warn their employees or inform them of the risks. From the 1930s until the 1980s, asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding, construction and power plants. Asbestos exposure can cause mesothelioma or lung cancer.
In the majority of cases, mesothelioma does not appear until years after exposure. The disease is often misdiagnosed as other conditions. It can take between 20 and 60 years for symptoms to appear after exposure to asbestos.
Shortness of breath or chest discomfort, or persistent cough or fluid in the lungs could be symptoms of mesothelioma. Mesothelioma can be difficult to identify because the disease is rare and because its symptoms resemble many other diseases, such as pneumonia and lung cancer.
A doctor will take an medical history to look for mesothelioma signs and other health issues. He or she will inquire about your employment history, and whether or not you were exposed to asbestos. Mesothelioma is more prevalent among those who worked in industries that handled or shipped asbestos.
Mesothelioma treatment options depend on the type and stage of the disease. In the majority of cases, surgery and chemotherapy are the standard treatment options. In certain cases there is radiation treatment. Immunotherapy is also used to treat mesothelioma. The research is in the very early stages of its development.
