대략적인 공연예산: Mesothelioma and Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that comes in thin, long fibres. Workers who are exposed to asbestos on a regular basis are at risk of developing mesothelioma or other types of lung diseases.
The symptoms of these diseases may not show up for decades after exposure to asbestos. Different types of asbestos may cause different symptoms.
Pleural Mesothelioma
Pleural mesothelioma occurs in the outer lung lining, or pleura. It is the most common mesothelioma form and accounts for 70% to 79% of all diagnosed cases. The condition can cause chest pain, breath shortness, and a feeling of heavyness.
This kind of cancer is often caused by exposure to asbestos which is a collection of minerals comprised of microscopic fibres. When inhaled, these fibers are absorbed into the lungs and cause irritation that results in scarring and DNA mutations. Pleura covers both the chest cavity and the lungs, and so irritations can also affect the heart. Mesothelioma usually doesn't show symptoms until 30 to 50 years after exposure.
Shortness of breath and chest pain are the most frequent symptoms. Some patients also experience difficulty breathing or chest tightness. Patients with this type of cancer typically have an history of exposure to asbestos in the workplace. The most common jobs that expose workers to the risk of developing pleural cancer are manufacturing, construction, and shipbuilding. People who were in the military are at greater risk due the frequent use of asbestos in Navy vessels and bunkers for the Army.
The most commonly used staging system for pleural mesothelioma is the TNM (tumor lymph nodes, lymph nodes, and metastases) staging system. The stage a patient has upon diagnosis will aid their doctor in determining the best treatment plan for them. Patients with pleural mesothelioma that is in stage three or stage four will suffer a more negative prognosis than those in a lower stage. Mesothelioma in stage four is usually spread to the diaphragm, liver and/or a person's heart. This makes it more difficult to treat and increase the risk of complications for the patient.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Contrary to pleural cancer that develops in the lung's lining, peritoneal cancer develops in the membrane that covers the abdominal cavity, including organs such as the liver and intestines. Like pleural mesothelioma, asbestos exposure is the reason for peritoneal msothelioma. The disease is much less prevalent than pleural mesothelioma, and just 300-500 cases being diagnosed each year.
Like pleural mesothelioma, symptoms can take years to show. Patients typically experience abdominal pain, and could also experience a mass in their abdomen. The symptoms of this kind of mesothelioma could also include nausea or weight loss, as well as fever. Many of these symptoms can be misinterpreted as gastrointestinal issues which can lead to a mistaken diagnosis.
Generally, doctors can find mesothelioma after a thorough health history and physical exam. They can also use imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans and PET/CT scans to help find mesothelioma. These tests can show tumors and other signs of cancer that aren't visible on an X-ray.
The results of these tests allow doctors to identify mesothelioma, and determine the stage. They also offer treatments. Staging is determined based on the type of cell and whether or whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body.
The most important mesothelioma risk factor is exposure to asbestos. People who have been in occupations which require asbestos, such as plumbing, manufacturing, electrical work, or construction, are at a higher risk of developing the disease. Even if someone is not employed in any of these areas however, they may still be exposed through family members or other sources. Therefore, anyone who is concerned that they might be at risk should speak to an expert. If they have any history of exposure to asbestos or mesothelioma, a specialist can help them find out more about their risk.
Risk Factors
Asbestos exposure is the main risk factor for mesothelioma which accounts for as much as 80 percent of all cases. Exposure to asbestos may occur due to work, military service, or living with people who have worked with asbestos. Asbestos particles can be inhaled by those who are exposed to asbestos. They can cause irritation to the linings of the abdomen and can cause cancerous cells to develop in the mesothelium. Mesothelioma can take between 15 and 60 years to develop following exposure to asbestos.
Other risk factors include smoking, genetics and the advancing age. People in their 40s and 50s are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma as compared to those who are younger or older. It takes mesothelioma 20-60 years to show signs of cancer after the first exposure. It is important to keep in mind, too, that mesothelioma may be present in people who have been exposed to asbestos, but without having worked with it directly. This is referred to as indirect or secondary asbestos exposure, and is as hazardous as direct asbestos exposure.
Smoking increases the risk of mesothelioma, because it damages the mesothelium. It also makes it more prone to. Mesothelioma can also be caused by certain illnesses such as asbestosis and pneumonia. Men are more likely to develop mesothelioma than women. Men are more likely than women to have been exposed to asbestos for longer periods of time and to work with it. Additionally, men are more likely to live with someone who has had asbestos exposure and bring asbestos fibers from their workplace on their clothes. Women are less likely to be in contact with asbestos, and they don't usually carry asbestos on their clothes.
Diagnosis
Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be similar to other conditions. This is why patients are sometimes mistakenly diagnosed.
NYU Langone doctors will perform physical examinations and document the patient's medical history, including asbestos exposure. Doctors may also order an X-ray of the chest or CT scan to check for lumps or other abnormalities, and also to look for evidence of asbestos legal exposure in the past such as plaques in the pleura (thickened pleura with calcium deposits) and the formation of fluid between the lung and the chest wall (known as the pleural effusion).
Other diagnostic tests include an echocardiogram which examines the heart and blood vessels, and a magnetic resonance imaging, also known as MRI test that uses radio waves and magnets to make a series of precise images of the inside of the body. A surgical biopsy is another method for doctors to identify mesothelioma. During a surgery biopsy doctors take a tiny part of tissue from the pleura or the peritoneum, to be examined further. A pathologist can then examine the tissue with a magnifying lens to determine if it contains cancerous cells.
Mesothelioma is classified according to the type of mesothelial cell involved, whether the cells are benign or malignant and the location of the tumor, its type, and the stage of the tumor. Certain types of mesothelioma may be more likely to develop metastasis or spread and spread, therefore it is essential to have a clear diagnosis to ensure that doctors are able to treat the disease before it becomes out of control.
Doctors can also run tests in the laboratory on a tumor to identify particular proteins, genes, or other factors that help them understand the characteristics of cancer and plan treatment. These results are known as staging.
Treatment
A mesothelioma diagnosis is an incredibly frightening prospect. However, it is important to remember that the cancer is treatable, particularly in its initial stages. Many people with mesothelioma live for many years with the disease, without spreading to other areas of their body.
Exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma in a number of ways. Asbestos fibers that are too small to be felt or observed with the naked eyes, can become airborne, causing irritation to the lung's lining (pleura). As time passes the irritation can lead to the formation of scar tissues that eventually result in tumors.
The pleura surrounds the lungs and heart and the abdomen. Mesothelium is made up of cells that react to exposure to asbestos which causes it to become inflamed and develop scar tissue. These changes can eventually cause mesothelioma cancers.
The signs of pleural mesothelioma can include shortness of breath, chest pain or a buildup of fluid on the lungs (pleural effusion). In rare cases, cancer can spread into the tissues that surround the reproductive organs and the heart.
If scans of imaging reveal a possible mass in the lungs or stomach, a doctor will order a biopsies. During the procedure, doctors take a small sample of the fluid or tumor for lab testing. The results will confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma and provide the best treatment plan.
There are many types of mesothelioma treatment options, which include chemotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy. The majority of doctors use a combination of these methods. Patients can also benefit by participating in a clinical study of new mesothelioma treatment. To learn more about the trials, patients should speak with mesothelioma experts who have expertise in treating the condition.
