Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Malignant mesothelioma afflicts the linings of organs internal to them. The most significant risk factor is asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant mineral fiber that was used in a variety of occupations until it was banned in the 1970s. Miner, construction workers, shipyard, factory, and veteran employees are at risk the most of exposure.
What is Mesothelioma?
The mesothelium is the liner that protects the organs in the body. Most often, malignant mesothelioma forms in the lung (pleura) and abdomen. It can also form in the linings of the heart or testes (pericardium). Each year, mesothelioma is discovered in about 3,000 people. The only known cause of this rare cancer is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once a popular choice in American industries because it was inexpensive and fireproof. It was used in the construction of homes, buildings and automobiles. People who worked on these projects may have been exposed to asbestos when workers cut, removed or handled the materials. Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma for years after the exposure.
The initial signs of mesothelioma typically resemble the symptoms of other diseases like lung cancer, making it difficult to diagnose. The initial symptoms may include breathing problems and chest pain as well as a persistent cough. As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms, including fatigue and weight loss, could develop.
There are four types of mesothelioma. Each type has a different prognosis. The most prevalent type is pleural, which affects lung linings (pleura) and the chest cavity. Other types of mesothelioma include peritoneal (pericardial) and testicular and peritoneal. Each type has its own distinct symptoms. However, all types are characterized by an inflamed malignant tumour that is located around vital organs.
If doctors suspect mesothelioma they will request a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. A tissue sample is taken from the affected region and examined under a microscope. If cancer is found the patient can be diagnosed with epithelioid, or sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Epithelioid Mesothelioma accounts for 70% to 80% mesothelioma in all cases and is more responsive. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, on other hand, is responsible for less than 10% of mesothelioma-related diagnoses and has a less favorable prognosis than epithelioid mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for mesothelioma. Certain groups are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma than others. These include those who work in the asbestos industry, veterans of the military and those with mesothelioma in their family. Also, those who have received asbestos-related radiation therapy are at a higher risk of mesothelioma.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is found in the tissues that protect and line the internal organs. This includes the lungs (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum) and the peritoneum. Exposure to asbestos at work increases the chance of developing mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is by far the most common mesothelioma. It affects the lining in the lungs.
Asbestos fibers cause irritation to the mesothelium, and over time, cells become damaged, and the genetic changes that happen 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 difficulty swallowing. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years for the first symptoms to begin to show. The symptoms are often mistaken for other diseases like the flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because it is not common and its symptoms are similar to other illnesses.
Typically, doctors do not connect mesothelioma to asbestos exposure until the patient has reached the late stages of mesothelioma. At this point, the doctor will usually inquire about the patient's or her prior exposure to asbestos, and perform a physical examination. Doctors can use imaging scans to diagnose mesothelioma, and rule out other diseases.
The doctor may also suggest blood tests and imaging scans for the chest or abdomen. The imaging tests can include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, or X-rays. A biopsy is often requested by a physician to confirm a mesothelioma diagnosis and to determine the mesothelioma type is present. The biopsy can be an exploratory procedure or a minimally invasive procedure.
During the biopsy procedure, doctors will remove small pieces of mesothelium and look for mesothelioma-like cells. The majority of mesothelioma diagnoses are epithelioid cells. The sarcomatoid type is less responsive to treatment and is more likely to have a shorter life expectancy. The epithelioid type is more tolerant to treatment and has a better prognosis. The biphasic type is a combination of the two types and accounts for 30 to 40% of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is most often found in the lung linings as well as the abdomen. It may also be present in the linings of the heart or pericardium. Around 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 following asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally with properties that are heat-resistant. It was utilized for a long time in many American industries because of its low cost and resistance to fire. The asbestos industry was particularly profitable for the construction industry, as it was used to insulate and fireproof buildings, ships, automobiles and other products. Workers in the construction industry were most at risk for exposure to asbestos.
Workers who handled or removed asbestos were exposed to sharp fibers that could cause serious health issues. These fibers are easily swallowed and inhaled and can cause irritation to the mesothelium. In time the irritation causes scar tissue to build up and can cause tumors.
Different mesothelioma types affect different areas of the body. The most commonly encountered mesothelioma is one that affects the lining in the chest cavity and lungs. This is the most common mesothelioma type and can cause symptoms like breathing difficulties or discomfort. Mesothelioma can also affect the abdominal cavity's lining which can cause symptoms such as swelling, pain or digestive issues.

Other tests include a computed-tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Your doctor will discuss the options for treatment with you if mesothelioma is diagnosed. This could include chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. The mesothelioma type and the far it has advanced will determine the type of treatment available.
