Pleural Mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the chest wall and lungs. Patients diagnosed with this type of mesothelioma typically experience symptoms such as chest pain, breathing difficulties and coughing. Additionally there are some patients who experience a buildup of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, known as an the pleural effusion. Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the lung and chest linings. lung. As time passes, the irritated tissue forms tumors that grow into the pleura. The tumors can grow to the peritoneum and bones, as well as to the liver.

It usually takes between 20 and 50 years for someone to develop pleural mesothelioma after exposure to asbestos. Those who were exposed at work to asbestos are at the highest chance of developing the disease. Workers in shipyards and on ships and veterans, are at risk.

It can take a few weeks before a doctor can diagnose pleural asbestosis. The symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, and dry cough. A patient with this condition might also experience an unprovoked low fever or weight loss. A doctor can diagnose mesothelioma following obtaining a patient's history of asbestos lawsuit exposure and then conducting an examination. Chest X-rays or CT scans are commonly carried out. These tests can reveal a accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity or a tumor that surrounds one of the lungs.

The first step in treating 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 in the chest cavity. The tube gives doctors the ability to look at the area and then collect a sample of pleural liquid. Doctors can then analyze the fluid to determine whether it is cancerous or non-cancerous.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos at work. This is because when ingested, or inhaled asbestos fibers enter the digestive tract, then move through the lymphatic system to the peritoneal tissue. Once inside, they irritate cells and cause DNA damage. As time passes the inflammation that occurs can cause scar tissue and tumors to form.

These tests can identify the types of cancerous cells (epithelioid, sarcomatoid or biphasic) and determine the severity of the tumors.

Doctors assign a peritoneal stage to mesothelioma according to the location of the tumor, the extent of tumor growth, and the rate at which it spreads to other tissues. The more aggressive and extensive the cancerous cells are and the more advanced the mesothelioma is.

Like pleural mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma usually affects men more often than women. Researchers aren't sure of the root cause for this difference. It could be that different asbestos exposures trigger mesothelioma pericardial, or the risk of developing the disease increases with the age of one.

A patient's physician may begin to suspect pericardial mesothelioma after conducting a physical examination and asking about their asbestos exposure. The physician can request a CT scan and chest x-rays to determine if there are indications of a build-up of fluid around your heart (known as the pericardial effusion).

Pericardial mesothelioma typically develops in the membrane that surrounds the heart. These symptoms can be severe and interfere with the patient's ability a normal life. They can include chest pain, breathing difficulties and breath shortness. In certain cases, the fluid can build-up and put tension on the heart, which can lead to cardiac tamponade.

Mesothelioma most commonly develops in the chest wall and lungs. However, mesothelioma may also occur in the abdominal cavity and the heart's lining (pericardium).

The exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of mesothelioma. Workers in blue-collar industries and the military were exposed to massive amounts of asbestos in the United States. Asbestos producers knew asbestos was hazardous, but they did not inform their employees or inform them of the risks. From the 1930s to the 1980s, asbestos was extensively employed in shipbuilding, construction and power plants.
