Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the lining of organs within. The primary risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral fiber used in a variety of jobs until it was banned in the 1970s. Miners, construction workers shipyard workers, factory employees and veterans are at greatest danger of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is found in the linings that cover various organs within the body called the mesothelium. Mesothelioma that is malignant is typically located in the lungs and abdomen. It can also develop in the linings of the heart or testes (pericardium). Around 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. The only cause that is known for this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous, brittle material that was once popular in American industries because it was affordable and fire-proof. It was used to construct homes, buildings and automobiles. The people who worked on these projects could have been exposed to asbestos as workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after exposure.
It is difficult to diagnose mesothelioma because the first symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses like lung cancer. The initial symptoms may include difficulty breathing or chest pain, as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, such as weight loss and fatigue may develop.
There are four kinds of mesothelioma, and each type has an individual prognosis. The most commonly used kind is pleural mesothelioma which affects the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other mesothelioma types are testicular, pericardial, or peritoneal. Each type has its own distinct symptoms. However, all types are characterized by an inflamed malignant tumour that surrounds the vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they may request a biopsy to check for the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the affected area is examined using microscope. If cancer is discovered the patient is diagnosed with sarcomatoid or epithelioid mesothelio. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% all mesothelioma and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on contrary, accounts for less than 10% of all mesothelioma diagnoses and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing mesothelioma. Certain groups are more at chance of developing mesothelioma than others. This includes people who work in the asbestos industry, military veterans and those with mesothelioma-related family history. Additionally, people who have received asbestos lawsuit-related radiation therapy are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
Signs and symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops in the tissues that line and protect organs inside including the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). The exposure to asbestos at work increases the chances of developing mesothelioma. The most prevalent mesothelioma form is pleural mesothelioma. This affects the lining of the lung.
Asbestos fibers irritate the mesothelium, and over time, the cells become damaged. The genetic changes that occur result in the cells becoming malignant and form tumors. The symptoms of mesothelioma can differ, but common ones are chest pain, coughing and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include nausea, fatigue, weight loss, and trouble swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that can take from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to show. It is often mistaken for other illnesses, such as the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is often difficult to diagnose because it is a rare condition and its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.
Typically doctors do not link mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient is in the end-stages of mesothelioma. At this point the doctor will generally inquire about the patient's or her past exposure to asbestos, and perform a physical examination. Imaging scans can be used by doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and determine if there are other diseases.
In addition to a physical examination the doctor might also suggest blood tests or imaging scans of the abdomen and chest. Imaging tests may include CT scans, MRIs, PET scans or X-rays. The doctor may also order a biopsy to confirm the mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine what kind of mesothelioma that patient has. The biopsy may be an exploratory procedure or an minimally invasive procedure.
In a biopsy, doctors remove small amounts of mesothelium and search for mesothelioma. The majority of mesothelioma diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and has a shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more receptive to treatment and has a higher chance of survival. The biphasic form is a mixture of the two types and is responsible for between 30% and 40 percent of mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma

About three thousand people are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. It is the sole known cancer caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically takes 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with properties that resist heat. It was used for decades in many American industries due to its low price and fire resistance. The asbestos industry was particularly lucrative for the construction industry, as it was employed to insulate and strengthen automobiles, ships, buildings and other items. Workers in the construction industry were among those most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that can cause serious health problems. These fibers are easily inhaled and swallowed 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 may affect various parts of the body. The most commonly encountered type of mesothelioma affects the lining in the chest cavity and the lung. It is the most prevalent mesothelioma that can cause symptoms such as breathing problems or pain.

When it is exposed to air, the tiny fibers may be inhaled or ingested. They can then become lodged in the lining of specific organs and cause mesothelioma.
People who worked with asbestos particularly those who were responsible for its removal or handling, have the highest risk of developing mesothelioma. However blue-collar workers and relatives of those who worked with asbestos are also at risk. Workers might carry asbestos fibers home on their clothing, while family members could inhale asbestos fibers when cleaning their clothes.
