Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
People who use asbestos-containing products are at risk of ingesting or inhaling asbestos fibers. These fibers can penetrate the tissue of the abdomen and chest cavity, known as the pleura or the peritoneum.
Exposure to asbestos can increase the risk of developing malignant pleural mesothelioma, or peritoneal cancer over the course of your life. Although the risk appears to decrease after more than 40 years of exposure, even minimal exposure to asbestos is risky.
Age
The older the person is exposed to the environment, the higher the chance of developing mesothelioma. Mesothelioma can affect the mesothelium, a thin layer surrounding the major organs of the body. The cancerous cells multiply in uncontrolled ways and develop into tumors. Mesothelioma is usually diagnosed in people who have been exposed to asbestos, either in their job or as a member of someone who was exposed to it.
Exposure to asbestos can trigger mesothelioma due to the irritation of the mesothelium. Pleural mesothelioma is most commonly found in the lungs' linings, but it can also affect the linings of the abdomen, peritoneum and the lining of the heart.
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally, is durable and heat-resistant. It was widely used in construction, insulation and other industrial applications until the 1980s. During this time, millions of Americans were exposed to asbestos as a result of their jobs or being near someone who was exposed to asbestos.
When asbestos is disturbed, it releases fibers in the air. They are too tough for the body's system to break them down or process. The fibers could get stuck in the lungs, causing irritation that can lead to cancer.
Mesothelioma symptoms are typically not likely to show up until years after asbestos exposure. The symptoms are similar to those of other cancers, and they can be fatal if not treated.
Mesothelioma is more prevalent in men than women, and it is the most frequently diagnosed in those over 45. Miners, shipbuilders, railroad workers, and others who work with asbestos-containing products are at the greatest risk of developing mesothelioma thanks to workplace asbestos exposure. The asbestos on the clothing of these individuals could expose their families to risk.
Smoking
The longer someone is exposed to asbestos, the higher their risk of developing mesothelioma. This is because of the long time of latency which can range from 20 and 60 years from first exposure until diagnosis. Depending on the type of asbestos, a person's mesothelioma can occur in various areas of the body. The wall of the chest and lung cavity (the pleura) is afflicted by mesothelioma of the pleural region. Peritoneal Mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdomen and is also known as the peritoneum.
People who have been exposed to asbestos most often develop mesothelioma that is found in their chests or lung. The most at the risk are those who worked in shipbuilding, power generation and construction. Mesothelioma can also be a risk for individuals who were exposed at home or in school to asbestos. This is because children and spouses of workers who were exposed to asbestos may carry the asbestos fibers into their clothes hair, skin and even their hair which can put them at risk too.
Mesothelioma sufferers are usually white and over the age of 65. They are also more likely to have a blue-collar occupation or military background. Asbestos was widely used by the United States Navy and other branches of the military due to its ability to withstand flames. Many veterans were exposed to asbestos.
When DNA mutations occur, they could cause cells to grow uncontrolled. This leads to the formation of tumors that eventually develop into mesothelioma. The disease can affect the entire body but is most prevalent in the abdomen and chest.
Smoking cigarettes can cause mesothelioma, but it increases your risk by increasing the amount asbestos you inhale. Therefore anyone who has been exposed to asbestos should think about quitting smoking.
A person's treatment plan for mesothelioma should include a physician who is familiar with asbestos case exposure and risk factors. A mesothelioma expert can help determine the best treatment option for this rare cancer. The doctor can determine whether the patient is suitable for immunotherapy or experimental treatments.
Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is used in many different products, including insulation, roofing and flooring. Workers who handle, make or work with asbestos-containing materials are at risk of exposure. Exposure to asbestos fibers in the air can lead to cancer and other illnesses.
There is a long time of latency between exposure to asbestos and the onset of symptoms which makes it difficult to identify many asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma is the most deadly of asbestos-related diseases, is no exception. Mesothelioma symptoms can appear between 20 and 60 years after exposure to asbestos lawsuit.
The most commonly used method by which people are exposed. Construction, manufacturing, electrical and automobile mechanic jobs all require handling asbestos-related parts and materials. However, workers can be exposed to asbestos compensation by home activities, like smoking cigarettes or the renovation of older houses that contain asbestos.
Inhalation of asbestos is the most frequent mesothelioma-related cause. Inhaled asbestos fibers can travel to the lung, where they can cause irritation to a lining called the pleura. This irritation can result in thickened patches of pleura (pleural plates) and fibrosis within the lung. As the disease progresses, it may cause fluid to accumulate in the chest cavity and eventually lung cancer. Mesothelioma can also affect the tissues of other organs, such as the abdomen and the heart.
People who are exposed to asbestos while at work are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma. However, those with an ancestor with mesothelioma, or other asbestos-related illnesses, are also at risk. The risk of exposure to asbestos is increased if a person has held more than one job over the course of their lives. Smoking cigarettes does not increase the likelihood of mesothelioma but it can make the disease worse for those who have already been diagnosed. Quitting smoking cigarettes is beneficial if you have had an asbestos-related exposure in the past and are suffering from mesothelioma. It can also allow you to live longer and enhance the results of your treatment. Inform your doctor if have been exposed to asbestos or have any new symptoms, like abdominal pain or shortness of breathe. They can prescribe medication or operate to treat the disease.
Genetics
Many cancers are genetically related, meaning that a person’s genes can increase the chances of developing a specific disease. Mesothelioma however does not have a gene component. The exposure to asbestos is the main cause.
Asbestos fibers can enter the body through inhalation or swallowed and sticking to the chest's lining (the pleura), the abdomen (the peritoneum) or around the heart (the pericardium). These loose fibers can damage the cells that make up these small linings over time. This can lead to mesothelioma.
Despite this there is a chance that not everyone exposed to asbestos will develop mesothelioma. Researchers believe that other factors could affect whether a person gets mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure. This includes a person's gender and age, their family history of mesothelioma or other illnesses, and whether they are afflicted with other risk factors like smoking.
Men are more likely than women to develop mesothelioma. This is due to the fact that more males than females were directly exposed to asbestos at work. Mesothelioma is a cancer that can develop between 20 and 60 years after the first exposure to asbestos.
A faulty gene is another risk factor for mesothelioma. In a study that looked at two families with high rates of mesothelioma cancer, researchers found that nearly everyone in the family was affected by a defective gene on their short arm of chromosome 3. This gene is called BAP 1 and regulates how calcium moves inside cells. If the gene is defective this process is broken and calcium levels decrease. This allows asbestos to mutate healthy cells into cancerous ones and cause mesothelioma.
In addition, a mutated gene in a person's immune system can also raise the chance of developing mesothelioma after exposure to asbestos. People who have this mutation have a lower percentage of white blood cells, which are the cells that fight off cancerous cells.
The type of asbestos to which a person was exposed and their occupation can increase a person's risk of developing mesothelioma. Additionally the polio vaccine administered to children in the 1940s and 1950s could increase a person's mesothelioma risk by exposing them to the cancer-causing SV40 virus.
