문의내용: Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Asbestos, a mineral that naturally occurs in the form of thin, long fibers. People who are exposed to asbestos are at risk of developing lung diseases like mesothelioma.

The symptoms of these diseases might not be evident for a long time after exposure to asbestos legal (recent donga.amonds.kr blog post). Different asbestos types may cause different symptoms.

Pleural Mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops in the lung's outer liner (pleura). It is the most frequent form of mesothelioma and is responsible for 70 to 79% of all diagnosed cases. The condition can cause chest discomfort, shortness of breath and a feeling heavyness.

This type of cancer usually caused by exposure to asbestos, which is a cluster of minerals that are made up of microscopic fibres. Once inhaled, these fibers stick inside the lungs and cause irritation that leads to scarring and DNA mutations. Pleura covers both the chest cavity and the lungs, so irritations can also affect the heart. Mesothelioma symptoms usually don't appear until 30 to 50 years after exposure.

The most commonly reported symptoms of pleural melanoma are chest discomfort and shortness of breath. Patients may also suffer from chest tightness or coughing. They may also experience difficulty breathing. Patients with this cancer have a history that includes asbestos settlement exposure at work. Construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding are the most common occupations which put people at risk risk of developing pleural mesothelioma. People who were in the military are at higher risk due to the frequent use of asbestos in Navy vessels and bunkers in the Army.

The most common staging system for pleural mesothelioma is the TNM (tumor lymph nodes, lymph nodes and metastases) staging system. The stage a patient is in at the time of diagnosis will help determine what treatment plan they should receive. Patients suffering from pleural mesothelioma who is in stage three or four will have a worse outlook than those in a lower stage. Stage four mesothelioma is often spread to the diaphragm, liver and/or a person's heart. This can make it more difficult to treat and increase the chance of complications for the patient.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Unlike pleural cancer, that develops in the lining of the lung, peritoneal cancer develops in the membrane that covers the abdominal cavity, which includes organs like the liver and intestines. As with pleural mesothelioma asbestos litigation exposure is the primary cause of peritoneal msothelioma. The disease is less common than pleural mesothelioma. There are just 300-500 cases being diagnosed each year.

As with pleural asbestosis symptoms can take years to show. Patients generally suffer from abdominal pain and may have a mass in their abdomen. This type of mesothelioma may also cause nausea, weight loss, and fever. Many of these symptoms can be mistaken for gastrointestinal problems and can lead to a false diagnosis.

The doctors can detect mesothelioma through reviewing the medical history of the patient and conducting a physical exam. Imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans are a way to identify mesothelioma. These tests can identify tumors as well as other signs of cancer that aren't visible on X-rays.

The results of these tests allow doctors to diagnose mesothelioma and determine the stage and recommend treatment options. The stage is determined by the type of cell as well as whether the cancer has spread.

The most important mesothelioma-related risk factor is asbestos exposure. People who have worked in jobs that require asbestos, like plumbing, manufacturing, electrical work or construction, are at a higher risk of developing the disease. Even if someone is not employed in one of these fields, he or she can be exposed to asbestos through family members or other sources. Anyone who believes they're at risk should talk to a doctor. A mesothelioma expert can help those who have a experience with asbestos to understand more about their risk.

Risk Factors

Asbestos is the main mesothelioma-related risk factor. It accounts for up to 80percent of cases. Exposure to asbestos can occur as a result of work, military service or by living with someone who works with asbestos or was previously exposed to doing the same. Asbestos particles can be breathed in by those who are exposed to it. The particles cause irritation to the linings of the abdomen, which causes cancerous cells to grow in the mesothelium. Mesothelioma can take between 15 and 60 years to develop following exposure to asbestos.

Other risk factors include genetics, smoking and aging. People in their 40s and 50s are more likely be diagnosed with mesothelioma compared to those who are younger or older. Mesothelioma can take between 20 and 60 years to show signs of cancer after the first exposure. It is also important to know that mesothelioma is a possibility in people who have been exposed to asbestos but didn't deal with it directly. This is referred to as indirect or secondary asbestos exposure, and is just as harmful as direct asbestos exposure.

Smoking increases the chance of mesothelioma developing, because it damages the mesothelium. It also makes it more prone to. In addition, mesothelioma may be worsened by certain diseases like asbestosis and pneumonia. It is also important to know that mesothelioma is more common in males than females. This is because men are more likely to be exposed to asbestos and endure a more exposure than women. Men are also more likely to have lived with someone who has been exposed to asbestos, and to carry asbestos fibers on their clothing. Women tend to have less contact with asbestos and rarely carry asbestos home on their clothing.

Diagnosis

It is difficult to recognize mesothelioma due to its symptoms being frequently similar to other illnesses. This could lead to patients being incorrectly diagnosed.

The first step in diagnosing mesothelioma is for NYU Langone doctors to perform a physical exam and take note of the medical history of the patient which includes asbestos exposure. Doctors may also request an CT scan or chest X-ray to look for abnormalities, lumps and evidence of asbestos settlement exposure. These include plaques on the pleura, pleura that are thickened and calcium deposits.

Other diagnostic tests include an echocardiogram, which examines the heart and blood vessels, and a magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI test, which uses magnets and radio waves to create precise images of the inside of the body. A surgical biopsy is a different way for doctors to diagnose mesothelioma. During a surgical biopsy, doctors remove a small amount of tissue from the pleura or peritoneum for further analysis. A pathologist can then examine the tissue under a microscope to see if it contains cancerous cells.

Mesothelioma can be classified based on the type of mesothelial cell involved, whether the cells are malignant or benign and also the location of the tumor, the type, and the stage of the cancer. Certain types of mesothelioma may be more likely to spread or metastasize, so it is important to have a clear diagnosis to ensure that doctors are able to treat the disease before it becomes out of control.

Doctors may also conduct tests in the laboratory on tumors in order to determine specific genes, proteins, or other factors which can aid in describing cancer characteristics and determine the best treatment. These results are called staging.

Treatment

A diagnosis of mesothelioma can be terrifying. However, it is important to remember that the cancer is treatable, particularly in its initial stages. Many patients with mesothelioma live with the disease for a long time, without expanding.

Asbestos exposure can trigger mesothelioma via many mechanisms. Asbestos fibres, too small to be felt or viewed through the naked eye can be airborne, causing irritation to the lining of the lung (pleura). As time passes, the irritation causes the formation of scar tissue, which causes changes in the cell structure which eventually lead to tumors.

The pleura surrounds the heart and lungs and also the abdomen. Mesothelium is made up of cells that react when exposed to asbestos. They cause inflammation to the tissue and cause it to become scarred. These changes eventually cause mesothelioma cancers.

The signs of pleural mesothelioma can include breathing problems, chest pain or an accumulation of fluid on the lung (pleural effusion). In rare cases, the cancer can grow to the tissues surrounding the heart and reproductive organs.

If imaging scans reveal a possible mass in the lungs or stomach, a doctor will order a biopsies. During the procedure, doctors take tiny amounts of tumor or fluid for lab tests. The results can confirm a mesothelioma diagnosis, and determine the most effective treatment plan.

There are a variety of treatment for mesothelioma including surgery and chemotherapy. The majority of doctors use an amalgamation of these techniques. Enrolling in clinical trials of new mesothelioma treatment may also be beneficial for patients. To find out more, patients should consult a mesothelioma specialist who has had experience treating the disease.
