Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the lining of organs internal to them. The most significant risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber used in many occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Construction workers, miner, shipyard, factory and veteran workers are at risk the most of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is the protective lining that covers various organs in the body. Most commonly, malignant mesothelioma forms in the lungs (pleura) and abdomen. It can also be found in the lining of the heart (pericardium) or in the testes. Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma annually. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once popular in American industries because it was inexpensive and fireproof. It was employed in the construction of houses, buildings aircrafts, ships, ships and automobiles. Workers on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut or removed the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after the exposure.
The first signs of mesothelioma usually resemble those of other diseases, including lung cancer, making it difficult to identify. The initial symptoms may include difficulty breathing, chest pain and an ongoing cough. As the disease progresses more serious symptoms, like fatigue and weight loss, may appear.
There are four types of mesothelioma, and each type has distinct prognosis. The most commonly used kind is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types are peritoneal, pericardial or testicular. Each type has its own distinct symptoms. However each type is characterized by an inflamed malignant tumour that is located around vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they will request a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is found the patient is diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma or sarcomatoid. Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 88% of mesothelioma patients and is more receptive to treatment. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary, accounts for only 10% of all mesothelioma-related diagnoses and has a poorer prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are more at risk of developing mesothelioma than others. These groups include people who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those who have mesothelioma-related family history. In addition, those who have had asbestos-related radiation therapy are at an increased chance of developing mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma develops in the tissues that line and protect internal organs such as the lung (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The exposure to asbestos in the workplace increases the risk of developing mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common mesothelioma. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers irritate mesothelium and over time, the cells get damaged, and the genetic changes that happen cause the cells to become malignant and develop into tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma are diverse and can include coughing chest pain, and trouble breathing. Other symptoms include fatigue and nausea. Weight loss is another symptom. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer and it can take from 10 to 60 years for the first signs to appear. Often, the symptoms are mistaken for other diseases like pneumonia or the flu. Mesothelioma is not easy to identify as it is rare and the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically doctors do not link mesothelioma with asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the mesothelioma's final stages. At this point the doctor will generally ask the patient about his or her prior exposure to asbestos and then perform an examination. Imaging scans can be utilized by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma or rule out other illnesses.
In addition to a physical examination, the physician may recommend blood tests or imaging scans of the abdomen and chest. The imaging tests could include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, or X-rays. The doctor could also recommend an examination to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and to determine what type of mesothelioma a patient has. The biopsy could be an exploratory surgical procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During the biopsy, doctors take small samples of mesothelium tissue and look for mesothelioma-like cells. The mesothelioma cell can be epithelioid, biphasic or sarcomatoid, with the former two types accounting for the majority of diagnoses. The sarcomatoid type is not as responsive to treatment and has shorter lives. The epithelioid type is more receptive to treatment and has a better chance of survival. The biphasic type is a mix of the first two types and accounts for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is typically found in the lung's lining (pleura) but it can also occur 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 known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with properties that are heat-resistant. It was used for decades in many American industries due to its low price and fire resistance. The asbestos industry was especially lucrative for the construction industry, where it was used to insulate and fireproof automobiles, ships, buildings and other products. Those who worked in the construction industry were most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who worked with asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers which can cause serious health issues. The fibers are easily inhale or swallowed, and they can cause irritation to the mesothelium. In time, the irritation causes scar tissue to build up which can lead to tumors.
Different mesothelioma types affect different parts of the body. The most common mesothelioma type affects the lining of the chest cavity and lungs. This is the most frequent type of mesothelioma and may cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of the abdominal cavity, causing symptoms like swelling, pain, or digestive issues.

Because mesothelioma may be mistaken for other illnesses, it is important to consult your physician if you notice any signs or symptoms. Your doctor will conduct an examination and order imaging tests to check for abnormalities. These tests include CT scans MRIs and PET scanners. These tests will allow doctors to see if any mesothelioma-related changes are evident in your body.
