Mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers inflame and cause damage to the cells that line the lung (pleura) or abdominal cavity (peritoneum). In time, these abnormal cells develop into tumors.

The symptoms of mesothelioma could take between 10 and 50 years to manifest, and are often misinterpreted as other illnesses. The only risk factor that is known is a history of asbestos exposure.

Pleural Mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma affects the chest wall and lungs. This type of mesothelioma is identified by symptoms like chest pain, coughing and breathing difficulties. In addition, some patients have an accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, referred to as an pleural effusion. Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the lung and chest linings. lung. Over time, the irritated tissue forms tumors that expand into the pleura. The tumors can spread to the peritoneum, bones and the liver.

It typically takes 20 to 50 years to develop pleural mesothelioma following exposure to asbestos. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at the highest risk of developing this disease. Blue-collar workers and veterans working on ships and shipyards are especially at risk.

A person may experience symptoms for several weeks prior to the doctor determines that pleural mesothelioma is the cause. The symptoms include chest pain, fatigue and a dry cough. This condition may also result in an unprovoked loss of weight. A physician can identify mesothelioma by taking a history of the patient's exposure to asbestos and conducting a physical exam. Chest X-rays or CT scans are commonly done. These tests may reveal fluid in the chest cavity or a tumor in one of the lung's.

The first step to treat pleural msothelioma is to drain the excess fluid. Doctors can accomplish this by a procedure called thoracentesis which involves inserting a small tube into the chest cavity between two ribs. This tube provides doctors with the ability to look at the area and then collect a sample of pleural liquid. The fluid can be tested by a doctor to determine whether it is cancerous.

The prognosis of a patient with mesothelioma pleural depends on a variety of factors, including the stage of the tumor and the extent of the cancer. The prognosis may be affected by patient's age as well as whether or not they smoke. The general health of a person as well as the speed at which they seek medical treatment after a diagnosis can also impact their chances of survival. Asbestos patients treated quickly and with a high degree of urgency have the best chances of a favorable outcome.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a condition that affects the lining that covers the abdomen, called the peritoneum. While this type of mesothelioma accounts for fewer cases than the most prevalent form, pleural mesothelioma, it is still a fatal illness. The exposure to asbestos in the workplace is the main cause of peritoneal mesothelioma. Asbestos fibers inhaled or consumed enter the digestive system, and then travel through the lymphatic system to reach the tissues of the peritoneal region. Once inside, they cause DNA damage and irritate the cells. In time, the inflammation causes scar tissue to form and tumors to develop.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer that can take years to develop. It's also a challenging cancer to identify because its symptoms are similar to other abdominal disorders. This is why patients with peritoneal mesothelioma are often misdiagnosed or delay treatment.

These tests will reveal if the tumors are aggressive or not, and the kind of cancerous cells that are present (epithelioid sarcomatoid).

This rare type of cancer develops when asbestos fibers infiltrate the heart's lining. It is often difficult to determine the cause because the symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses. Patients with mesothelioma of the pericardium should discuss their past exposure to asbestos to their medical professionals and share any recent symptoms with them.

Similar to pleural mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma is usually seen in males more frequently than females. However, researchers aren't certain of the reason for this disparity. It could be that different asbestos exposures cause pericardial mesothelioma, or the risk of developing the disease increases with the advancing years.

A patient's physician may start to suspect pericardial cancer after conducting a physical exam and asking about their exposure to asbestos. The doctor can then request an x-ray of the chest and CT scan to determine whether there is evidence of the accumulation of fluid around the heart (known as pericardial effusion).

Pericardial mesothelioma typically develops in the membrane that covers the heart. These symptoms can be severe and hinder the patient's ability to live an ordinary life. These symptoms can include chest pain breathing difficulties, shortness or breath. In some instances, the fluid can build-up and put pressure on the heart, which can lead to cardiac tamponade.

Mesothelioma most commonly develops in the lungs and chest wall. However, mesothelioma can occur in the abdominal cavity and the heart's lining (pericardium).

The exposure to asbestos is the most common cause of mesothelioma. Blue-collar workers and the military were exposed to massive amounts of asbestos in the United States. Asbestos manufacturers knew asbestos was a risk, but they did not inform their employees or inform them of the dangers. From the 1930s to the 1980s, asbestos was widely used in construction, shipbuilding and power plants. Asbestos exposure can cause mesothelioma as well as lung cancer.
