What is Mesothelioma?
A diagnosis of mesothelioma can be overwhelming. It's normal to feel overwhelmed, confused, and upset.
The pleura, the area that surrounds the lungs and chest wall, is affected by mesothelioma of the pleural region. The cancer causes fluid accumulation in the lungs, making it difficult to breath.
Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma. At risk are people who have been exposed to asbestos, or who lived with someone who has.
What is mesothelioma?
The cancerous mesothelioma is a cancer that develops on the lining tissue, or mesothelium. The mesothelium lining covers and protects most of the organs in your body including your heart, chest and abdomen. It is composed of two layers, which form a sac, which surrounds the organs within your body. The fluid between the layers permits organs to move freely. Mesothelioma cancer cells grow and destroy the tissue around them. They may also spread to other areas of your body (metastasize).
The most at-risk group for developing mesothelioma is those who have worked with asbestos. Asbestos workers include construction workers plumbers, electricians and plumbers asbestos miners, welders, auto industry workers and others. Workers who live or work near asbestos-containing facilities, such as factories and power plants, are also at a higher risk. Patients diagnosed with mesothelioma have typically been exposed to asbestos for between 20 and 60 years prior to the time their illness manifests.
Pleural mesothelioma can be found most often in the lung lining. This type of mesothelioma could cause chest pain, breathing difficulties and weight loss. It usually occurs in the lungs, but it can also affect the stomach or the heart. Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma a rare form of the disease that affects the lining of the abdominal cavity, can feel pain in the belly and abdomen, as well as difficulty eating.
Other mesothelioma types are pericardial and tunica vaginalis mesothelioma both of which are found in the tissue that surrounds the tissues of the chest, abdomen or testicles, respectively. These types of mesothelioma often go undiagnosed, and they have lower survival rates than other forms of the disease.
The mesothelioma prognosis is contingent on the type and location of the disease and the stage at which it was diagnosed and general patient health. Some patients can be successfully treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Patients with advanced mesothelioma may receive experimental treatments such as immunotherapy or gene therapy. In any situation, treatment options could improve a patient's life expectancy.
Signs and symptoms
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that is most often found in the chest lining or abdominal cavity. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, which is a heat and fire-resistant mineral that was used in construction, insulation and shipbuilding power generation, as well as home renovations prior to being banned in the 1970s. Exposure to asbestos is most often due to working in the asbestos-related industry. However, people who have washed their clothing that contained asbestos fibers or disturbed asbestos while renovating their homes are at risk of developing mesothelioma law firms.
The majority of patients with mesothelioma have general symptoms like fatigue and weight loss, coughing with changes in frequency or intensity, chest pain, and other such symptoms. Patients should always consult their physician if they experience any of these symptoms. Also, they should be sure to inform their doctor if they have been exposed to asbestos.
In the case of pleural asbestosis, symptoms are usually caused by the tumor that causes fluid to accumulate in the area around the lung. This build-up, referred to as a pleural effusion causes pressure on the lungs, making breathing difficult. Controlling the amount of fluid inside the pleural cavity can improve breathlessness.
Other signs of mesothelioma are the night sweats, a fever, and abdominal pain. The fever is caused by the body's temperature rising in the fight against the cancer. The body attempts to reduce its temperature by producing night sweats in response to the fever. These symptoms are all indications that the cancer is growing worse and causing body to stress.
Less common mesothelioma symptoms include an abdominal swelling and fatigue as well as difficulty walking. Mesothelioma can also affect the tissue that surrounds the heart, causing problems with breathing and chest pain. It is also possible to develop mesothelioma inside the membrane surrounding the testicles and cause swelling or a lump on the testicles.
Since mesothelioma is a rare disease and difficult to identify early. The symptoms of mesothelioma can be similar to those of other diseases and are often mistaken for a flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma can last for up to years before symptoms are recognized.
Diagnosis
Mesothelioma is a cancer that is difficult to detect. Doctors must exclude other conditions with similar symptoms before diagnosing mesothelioma. Once they have done this, they are able to determine the best treatment for you.
The first step to mesothelioma diagnosis is to see your doctor inquire about your symptoms and conduct a a physical exam. Your doctor can conduct blood tests to determine the efficiency of your organs. One such test is the complete blood count (CBC) which looks at the number of white and red blood cells, how well your liver and kidneys are working, and other vital information. Mesothelioma cells often show up in these blood tests, however they are difficult to identify because they look like normal cells.
If your doctor suspects that you have mesothelioma, they will likely order imaging tests to determine the location and extent of any growths or fluid that is forming around the lungs or abdomen. A chest radiograph is the most commonly used test, but if it does not show any abnormalities, doctors may then order more detailed tests like an CT scan or an MRI.
These tests produce detailed images of the body by combining radio waves with powerful magnets. They can detect fluid or thickening of the peritoneum or pleura which could indicate mesothelioma. A CT scan can also reveal other health issues like a lung infection or pneumonia.
Doctors can sometimes be able to determine the type of mesothelioma that you have by examining a sample of your tissue taken during the procedure of a biopsy. This is the only reliable way to diagnose mesothelioma. These samples are then examined under microscopes to determine the mesothelioma's type of cell, and how far the cancer has spread.
Some doctors may inject dye into a vein or perform other tests, to determine the area of the cancer. This is known as staging the mesothelioma and helps doctors understand how far the cancer has grown and the severity.
Treatment
Mesothelioma develops in the cells that line the lungs and other organs. The cells can multiply uncontrollably, forming tumors. The cancer spreads to surrounding tissues due to the fact that the cells don't respond to signals that prevent them from growing too fast. It can also invade the blood vessels that provide oxygen to the lungs. This can cause breathing difficulties and a cough.
Doctors diagnose mesothelioma through examining the symptoms of a person and their history of exposure to asbestos. They may also order imaging tests and other lab tests to help find and identify tumors. Chest X-rays, for example, can be used to look for lung changes, including the pleural thickening process and pleural effusion (fluid build-up). They can also request CT scans, an MRI and an PET scan to see the location of the tumors and to determine the extent to which mesothelioma is spreading. They may also take fluid from the lung (called a Thoracentesis) to determine if mesothelioma is present and relieve pressure on the lungs caused by the accumulation of fluid.
After mesothelioma has been diagnosed, doctors can plan treatment to manage the cancer. It is crucial to discuss your goals for treatment with a mesothelioma professional. Some patients want aggressive treatment to extend their lives and improve their chances of survival, while others prefer moderate treatment to lessen nausea, pain and other side effects.
Treatments for mesothelioma lawsuits can include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. The kind of treatment a patient receives depends on the stage of mesothelioma and whether it is composed of epithelioid or sarcomatoid cell. Epithelioid cells are simpler to remove via surgery, and they are more likely to be successful than the sarcomatoid cells. Some patients are a mix of both types, and these patients usually have poorer outcomes than patients with epithelioid-only mesothelioma.
