Mesothelioma From Asbestos

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that affects the tissues of certain organs in the body. Exposure to asbestos can trigger the disease. The exposure can occur at home or at work.

Mesothelioma is usually found in the lining of the lungs (pleura). It can also affect the linings of the stomach or heart and may also spread to other parts.

Exposure

The exposure to asbestos at work is the primary cause of mesothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases. Exposure to asbestos can be caused through a variety such as working in asbestos mines or mills manufacturing asbestos-containing products, cleaning up asbestos after asbestos removal, removing, fixing or replacing asbestos-containing materials and living in proximity to asbestos-containing facilities. Asbestos is a substance that can be consumed when not in a work-related setting for example, by bringing home contaminated clothes from asbestos workers or living near a geological source of asbestos.

After exposure to asbestos, it takes 20 to 50 years for mesothelioma develop. This time period is also known as the latency phase is a critical time. The most at-risk are those who have been exposed to asbestos for the longest time. Men are more likely to develop mesothelioma due to the higher rates of exposure to asbestos they have in blue-collar occupations and all branches of the military.

Exposure to asbestos can cause a condition known as mesothelioma of the pleura. This form of mesothelioma affects the pleura, which is thin membrane that line the chest cavity and lungs. Asbestos exposure can cause the pleura's walls to become thicker and fibrotic, which makes it difficult for patients to breathe. The pleura can also develop effusions or fluid pockets that can be seen on x-rays.

Asbestosis is yet another lung disease that can develop when someone has been exposed for a prolonged period to asbestos. It is a form of scarring that occurs in the lungs, which can cause chest pain and a shortness of breathe. The disease can also make it difficult for patients to take a deep breath and can cause crackling sounds from their lungs, which doctors refer to as rales. Asbestosis can increase the risk of developing lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestosis can be caused by a variety of factors including smoking. However, smoking does not appear to cause mesothelioma or make it worse. Smoking is not good for anyone who has been exposed to asbestos.

Symptoms

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that affects the tissue that surrounds internal organs. Exposure to asbestos fibers can increase the chance of developing the disease. It occurs in a layer around the lungs, referred to as pleural mesothelioma, or in the lining around the abdomen.

Mesothelioma may be diagnosed between 15 and 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was a naturally occurring mineral used in brakes, insulation, and shingles prior to the 1970s. Workers who handled these products or removed them were exposed to asbestos fibers. The fibers can be inhaled or consumed which can cause irritation and lead to mesothelioma. The most risk is for those who worked in industries such as mining, construction, and manufacturing.
