Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
People who use asbestos-containing products are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. The fibers are absorbed into the lining of the chest cavity or abdomen, also known as the peritoneum and pleura.
The exposure to asbestos increases the lifelong risk of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneal or pleural regions. Although the risk is believed to diminish after more than 40 years of exposure, even a small amount of asbestos exposure is dangerous.
Age
The older a person gets at the time of exposure the more likely they will develop mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a disease that affects the mesothel an elongated layer that surrounds the major organs of the body. The cancerous cells are malignant. This means that they expand beyond control and develop into tumors. Mesothelioma is most often diagnosed in people who were exposed to asbestos, either in their job or as a member of someone who worked with it.
Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma, as it irritates mesothelium. Pleural mesothelioma is typically found in the lungs' linings, but it can also affect the linings of the abdomen and peritoneum as well as the lining of the heart.
Asbestos is a non-porous and long-lasting mineral. It was used in insulation, construction and other industrial applications until the 1980s. In the 1980s many millions of Americans were either exposed to asbestos through their work or living near an asbestos-exposed loved one.
When asbestos is disturbed, it releases fibers into the air. These can be inhaled, and they are too tough for the body to break down or process. The fibers can cause irritation and even cancer in the lungs when they get stuck.
Symptoms of mesothelioma usually do not show up until decades after asbestos exposure. The symptoms are similar to those of other cancers but they can also be fatal if left untreated.
Men are more likely to be affected by mesothelioma more than women. It is also diagnosed most often for those who are older than 45. Those who are at the highest chance of developing mesothelioma as a result asbestos exposure at work include miners, ship builders railroad workers, and others who have handled or installed items that contain asbestos. The asbestos in the clothing of these workers could expose their families to risk.
Smoking
The chances of a person developing mesothelioma rises the longer they are exposed to asbestos. This is due to the lengthy latency period which can range from 20 to 60 years from the first exposure to diagnosis. Depending on the kind of asbestos, an individual's mesothelioma could be found in various regions of the body. The chest wall's lining and the lung cavity (the pleura) is affected by mesothelioma of the pleural region. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a condition that affects the lining of the abdomen, also known as the peritoneum.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos most often develop mesothelioma that is found in their chests or lungs. Most at risk are those working in shipbuilding, power generation and construction. However, mesothelioma is also able to develop in individuals who were exposed to asbestos in their homes or at school. Children and spouses of asbestos-exposed workers may carry asbestos fibers from the workplace to their homes on their clothes hair, skin and hair. This puts them at risk.
Mesothelioma sufferers are usually white and over the age of 65. They are more likely to have an occupation that was blue collar or a military background. Asbestos was extensively used by the United States Navy and other branches of the military because of its flame-resistant qualities. Millions of veterans were exposed to asbestos.
Mesothelioma can form when DNA of an individual undergoes mutations, causing cells to multiply uncontrolled. This results in the development of tumors, which eventually turn into mesothelioma. The disease can affect any part of the body, but the majority of cases occur in the chest or abdomen.
Smoking does cause mesothelioma but it can increase your risk by increasing the amount asbestos you breathe. Therefore, anyone who has been exposed to asbestos should think about stopping smoking.
The treatment plan of a patient with mesothelioma should also include a doctor who is familiar with asbestos exposure and risk factors. Having an experienced mesothelioma specialist with them can help them determine the best way to treat this rare cancer. The doctor will determine if the patient is eligible for immunotherapy or experimental treatments.
Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, is used in a myriad of products like roofing, flooring and insulation. Anyone who works with asbestos-containing products make them, or manufacture them, or work with them are at a high risk of exposure. The exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to breathing asbestos claim fibers into the lungs, where they cause illness and cancer.
There is a long time of latency between the exposure to asbestos and the onset of symptoms, which makes it difficult to recognize many asbestos diseases. Mesothelioma is the most hazardous asbestos-related disease. Mesothelioma symptoms can appear between 20 and 60 year after exposure to asbestos.
The most common method by which people are exposed to asbestos is through occupational exposure. All jobs that involve asbestos handling or use, including those in construction, manufacturing automobile mechanics, construction, and electrical. The risk of exposure to asbestos is also present by their home activities, such as smoking, or renovating older homes that contain asbestos.
Inhalation of asbestos is the most common cause of mesothelioma. Inhaling asbestos settlement fibers can lead to the lungs, where they irritate the lining known as the pleura. This irritation leads to the formation of thickened pleura patches (pleural plaques) and fibrosis of the lungs. As the disease progresses it could lead to fluid accumulation in the chest cavity (pleural effusion) and ultimately to lung cancer. Mesothelioma can also affect the tissue of other organs including the heart and abdomen.
Mesothelioma is the most frequent cancer among people who have been exposed to asbestos at work. However, those with an ancestor with mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related diseases are also at risk. The risk of asbestos exposure is increased if a person has worked in more than one job over the course of their life. Smoking cigarettes can increase the risk of mesothelioma, but it can also aggravate the condition for those who are already diagnosed. Quitting smoking is beneficial if you have had an asbestos-related exposure in the past and are suffering from mesothelioma. It will also allow you to live longer, and improve the results of your treatment. It is important to tell your doctor about the exposure to asbestos as well as any new symptoms, such as shortness of breath or abdominal pain, since they can treat the condition by using medication or surgery.
Genetics
Many cancers are genetically related, meaning that a person’s genes can increase the chances of getting a particular disease. Mesothelioma, however, does not have a gene component. Instead, exposure to asbestos is the main reason.
asbestos [sneak a peek here] fibers can enter the body via inhalation or swallowed, and they stick to the chest's lining (the pleura) and the abdomen (the peritoneum) or around the heart (the pericardium). As time passes these fibers that are loose can cause damage or alteration to the cells that make up these tiny linings, which can lead to mesothelioma development.
However, mesothelioma does not affect all people who are exposed. Researchers believe other factors can affect the likelihood of developing mesothelioma after asbestos exposure. This includes the person's gender, age, and family history of mesothelioma and other diseases as in addition to any other risk factors, such as smoking.
Mesothelioma is more likely to be found in males than females. This is due to the fact that more men than women were directly exposed to asbestos at work. Also, it takes between 20 and 60 years for mesothelioma to be diagnosed following a person's initial exposure to asbestos.
Another risk factor for mesothelioma is having an infected gene. In a study of two families with high mesothelioma rates scientists discovered that almost all members of the family carried a defective gene on their short arm chromosome 3 This gene, known as BAP 1 regulates the flow of calcium inside cells. With a faulty gene the process is disrupted and calcium levels drop. This causes asbestos lawsuit to transform healthy cells into cancerous cells and cause mesothelioma.
A gene that is mutated can increase the risk of developing mesothelioma due to asbestos lawsuit exposure. The mutated gene results in the loss of white blood cells. These cells are responsible for fighting cancerous cells.
The kind of asbestos to which a person was exposed as well as their work can also increase a person's mesothelioma-related risk. The polio vaccine, given to children between 1940 and 1950, can also increase a person's mesothelioma risk by exposure to cancer-causing SV40.
