Mesothelioma and asbestos claim Exposure
People who use asbestos case-containing products are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. The fibers are absorbed into the chest cavity's lining or abdomen, also known as the peritoneum and pleura.
Exposure to asbestos can increase the risk of developing malignant pleural mesothelioma, or peritoneal cancer throughout your life. Even though the risk seems to diminish after 40 years, exposure to asbestos of any kind can be dangerous.
Age
The older a person is when exposed, the higher the risk of developing mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the mesothelium which is a thin layer of tissue that surrounds the major organs of the body. The cancerous cells multiply rapidly and create tumors. Mesothelioma is most often diagnosed in people who were exposed to asbestos, either through their own work or as a family member of someone who was exposed to asbestos.
Asbestos exposure can lead to mesothelioma due to irritation of the mesothelium. The lung's lining (pleura) is the most affected by mesothelioma pleural, but it can also affect the lining of the abdomen and peritoneum as well as the lining of the heart (pericardium).
Asbestos is a non-porous and long-lasting mineral. It was utilized for construction as insulation, construction, and other industrial applications until the 1980s. During this time, 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. They are too difficult for the body's systems to break them down or process. The fibers could get stuck in the lungs, causing irritation that can lead to cancer.
Mesothelioma symptoms typically do not manifest until a long time after asbestos exposure. The symptoms are similar to those of other types of cancer and can be fatal if not treated.
Men are more likely to be affected by mesothelioma than women. It is also diagnosed most often in people older than 45. People who are at most risk of developing mesothelioma because asbestos exposure at work include ship builders, miners railroad workers, and those who handled or installed products made of asbestos. The asbestos found on the clothing of these people could put their family members at risk.
Smoking
A person's chances of getting mesothelioma increase the longer they're exposed to asbestos. This is due to the lengthy latency time that can range between 20 and 60 year from the time of exposure until diagnosis. Depending on the kind of asbestos, an individual's mesothelioma may occur in different regions of the body. Pleural mesothelioma can be found in the lung's lining cavity and the chest wall (the pleura). Peritoneal Mesothelioma can be found in the lining of the abdomen, also known as the peritoneum.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos the most often develop mesothelioma in their chests or the lungs. People who worked in the shipbuilding, power generation and construction sectors are the most at risk. However, mesothelioma is also able to develop in individuals who were exposed to asbestos at home or in school. This is because children and spouses of workers who were exposed to asbestos can take the fibers home on their clothes hair, skin and even their hair which puts them at risk as well.
The majority of mesothelioma patients are white and over 65. They are more likely to have had a blue-collar occupation or military background. Asbestos was extensively used by the United States Navy and other branches of the military due to its resistance to flames. Millions of veterans were exposed to asbestos.
When DNA changes occur, they may cause cells to multiply unchecked. This may lead to growth of tumors which eventually grow into mesothelioma. The disease can affect the whole body, but it is most common in the abdomen and chest.
Smoking is not a cause of mesothelioma, but it can increase the risk of developing this cancer by increasing the amount of asbestos that one breathes. Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos should quit smoking.
Furthermore, a person's mesothelioma treatment plan should involve an experienced doctor who is knowledgeable about asbestos exposure and the risk factors associated with this type of cancer. A mesothelioma expert can assist determine the best treatment option for this rare cancer. The doctor will determine whether the patient is eligible for immunotherapy or experimental treatments.
Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a mineral that naturally occurs, is used in a myriad of products including roofing, flooring, and insulation. Workers who handle, make or work with asbestos-containing products are at high risk for exposure. Exposure to asbestos fibers in the air can cause cancer and illness.
There is a long time of latency between exposure to asbestos and the first signs of symptoms, which makes it difficult to diagnose the various asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma is the most deadly asbestos-related illness. Mesothelioma symptoms may manifest between 20 and 60 year after asbestos exposure.
The most frequent way that people are exposed to asbestos is through occupational exposure. Any job that involves asbestos handling or use, including those in manufacturing, construction automobile mechanics, construction, and electrical. However, workers can be exposed to asbestos by home activities, such as smoking cigarettes or the renovation of older homes that have asbestos law.
Inhalation of asbestos is the most frequent mesothelioma causing agent. Asbestos fibers inhaled can travel into the lungs and irritate the lining called the pleura. This irritation can lead to thickened patches of pleura (pleural plates) and fibrosis within the lung. As the disease progresses it could result in the accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity (pleural effusion) and ultimately to lung cancer. Mesothelioma can also affect the lining of other organs, including the abdomen and heart.
Mesothelioma is more prevalent in those who have been exposed to asbestos while at work. People with a family history or mesothelioma or other asbestos case-related illnesses are also at risk. The risk of exposure to asbestos is higher if one has worked in more than one job over the course of their lives. Smoking cigarettes can increase the risk of mesothelioma but it can worsen the condition for those already diagnosed. If you have a history of exposure to asbestos and are suffering from mesothelioma quitting smoking may help you live longer and improve the outcome of your treatment. Tell your doctor if you have been exposed to asbestos or experience any new symptoms like abdominal pain or difficulty to breathing. They may prescribe medication or operate to treat the disease.
Genetics
Many cancers are genetically linked, meaning that a person’s genes may increase the chance of developing a specific disease. However, mesothelioma does not have any genetic component. Exposure to asbestos is the main reason.
Asbestos fibers may enter the body via swallowing or inhalation, and then stick to the tissues of the chest, abdomen or heart. As time passes the loose fibers could alter or damage the cells that compose these small linings, which can result in the development of mesothelioma.
Despite this, mesothelioma does not affect all people who are exposed. Researchers believe that other factors can determine if a person develops mesothelioma as a result of asbestos compensation exposure. This includes the person's gender and age and their family history of mesothelioma or other diseases, and whether they have other risk factors such as smoking.
Mesothelioma is more likely to be found in men than women. This could be because men were more likely than women to have been directly exposed asbestos in the workplace. Also, it takes between 20 to 60 years for mesothelioma to develop following the first exposure to asbestos.
A faulty gene is another risk factor for mesothelioma. In a study looking at two families with high rates of mesothelioma, researchers discovered that nearly every person in the family was affected by a defective gene on their short arm of the chromosome 3. This gene, known as BAP 1, regulates the movement of calcium within cells. A faulty gene disrupts this process which causes calcium levels to decrease. This causes asbestos to transform healthy cells into cancerous cells and cause mesothelioma.
Mutations in a gene can increase the chance of developing mesothelioma from asbestos exposure. People with this mutated gene have a lower percentage of white blood cells which are the cells that fight cancerous cells.
Other factors that could increase the risk of mesothelioma in a person are the type of asbestos they were exposed to as well as their job. The polio vaccine that was given to children between 1940 and 1950, can also increase a person's risk of developing mesothelioma through exposing them the cancer-causing SV40.
