Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a condition that occurs when asbestos fibers cause irritation and cause damage to the cells that line the lung (pleura) or abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Then, these abnormal cells develop into tumors.

The symptoms of mesothelioma could take between 10 and 50 years to manifest, and often are mistaken for other illnesses. A history of asbestos exposure is the sole known risk factor.

Pleural Mesothelioma

The lungs and the chest wall are affected by pleural mesothelioma. People diagnosed with this type of mesothelioma typically experience symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest pain and coughing. Some patients also have an accumulation of fluid between their lung and the wall of the chest known as an pleural effusion. Pleural mesothelioma happens when asbestos fibers cause irritation to the lining of the lung and the chest cavity. Over time the affected tissue develops tumors which grow into the pleura. The tumors may spread to the peritoneum and bones, as well as to the liver.

It typically takes 20 to 50 years for a person to develop pleural mesothelioma after exposure to asbestos lawyer. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos in the workplace are at greatest risk of developing this disease. Workers in shipyards and on ships as well as veterans, are at risk.

It can take a few weeks for a doctor to recognize pleural asbestosis. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing or coughing, dry chest pain and fatigue. The condition can also trigger a low temperature and unexplained loss of weight. A doctor can determine mesothelioma by taking a patient's history of asbestos exposure and performing an examination. Chest X-rays or CT scans can be taken. These tests can reveal an accumulation of fluids in the chest cavity or a tumor that surrounds one of the lung's.

The first step to treat pleural msothelioma involves draining the excess fluid. This can be accomplished by doctors through a procedure called thoracentesis. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube between two ribs within the chest cavity. The tube gives doctors the ability to look at the area and then collect samples of pleural fluid. Doctors can then analyze the fluid to determine whether it is cancerous or non-cancerous.

While this type of mesothelioma accounts for fewer cases than the more common type, pleural mesothelioma, it is still a fatal illness. Peritoneal mesothelioma can be caused by exposure to asbestos at work. This is because ingested or inhaled asbestos fibers are absorbed by the digestive tract and then pass through the lymphatic system and into the peritoneal tissue. Once inside, they irritate cells and damage DNA. As time passes, the resulting inflammation causes scar tissue to form and tumors to form.

Doctors assign a peritoneal phase to mesothelioma depending on its location, amount of growth and the rate at which it spreads to other tissues. The larger the tumors and the more aggressive the cell type is, the more advanced the mesothelioma stage.

Asbestos producers were aware that asbestos was dangerous, but they did not warn employees of the dangers or inform them about the dangers. Asbestos was used widely in construction, shipbuilding power plants, shipbuilding and in the military from the 1930s through the 1980s.
