People at high risk of asbestos exposure are generally more likely to develop peritoneal mesothelioma. High-risk groups include blue-collar workers, veterans, and those who live near asbestos mines or natural deposits.

Loved ones of individuals exposed to asbestos may also be at higher risk through secondhand exposure.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma Symptoms.

Common symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include:

Abdominal fluid buildup (ascites).
Abdominal pain.
Bloating (abdominal distention).
Fever and night sweats.
Fatigue.
Nausea and vomiting.
Loss of appetite.
Unexplained weight loss.

The symptoms of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma may not appear until 20-50 years after the initial exposure to asbestos. These symptoms tend to be mild and vague, so many patients aren’t diagnosed until after their cancer has spread.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma Diagnosis.

In order to confirm a peritoneal mesothelioma cancer diagnosis, your doctor must perform a biopsy. They may also use imaging tests to look for signs of cancer and rule out other diseases.

Imaging Tests.

Imaging tests are the first step in the diagnostic process for peritoneal mesothelioma. Patients who report abdominal pain and swelling may receive X-rays, a computed tomography scan (CT scan), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Biopsies.

Next, if your doctor suspects cancer, they will perform a biopsy. During this procedure, your doctor will collect a fluid or tissue sample and examine it under a microscope to see if cancer cells are present.

Types of biopsies for peritoneal mesothelioma include fine-needle aspiration, core needle biopsy, or diagnostic laparoscopy. Although biopsies are more invasive than imaging tests, doctors rely on them to make a confident diagnosis.

Diagnosing Peritoneal Mesothelioma Stage.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is not staged using the typical Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system because it advances in an unusual way, often remaining in the abdomen instead of spreading to other parts of the body.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is instead classified as early or advanced.

Getting a Second Opinion.

Because peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare cancer, even an experienced oncologist can misdiagnose it — which could delay or eliminate the possibility of curative treatment.

If you have any questions about your diagnosis, it’s critical to get a second opinion from a specialized mesothelioma doctor.

What Are The Risk Factors For Mesothelioma?

Risk factors affect a person's chance of getting mesothelioma or pleural disease. Having one of the following risk factors, or even several, does not mean that someone will get cancer.

Asbestos exposure is the primary risk factor for mesothelioma. It accounts for up to 80 percent of all cases.
Living with someone who works with asbestos may also increase an individual's risk for developing mesothelioma because asbestos particles can travel on skin and clothing.
Radiation exposure particularly to the radioactive substance thorium dioxide, which was used with X-rays to diagnose health conditions between the 1920s and 1950s may increase the risk of developing mesothelioma.
A family history of mesothelioma may increase an individual's risk of developing cancer.

Where Does Asbestos Exposure Occur?

Occupational asbestos exposure is the most common cause of mesothelioma, especially within factory, construction, mining, shipbuilding, other manufacturing industries and among veterans and mechanics.

Asbestos exposure can also occur through the disturbance of asbestos-containing materials, such as when building materials begin to degrade over time or through the removal of such materials during remodeling or construction. Environmental asbestos exposure occurs when naturally occurring asbestos found in soil and rocks is released into the air through either human activity or weathering.

How Does Exposure to Asbestos Cause Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma can take anywhere between 15 to 50 years to develop after exposure to asbestos. The pleural, peritoneal and pericardial lining (mesothelium) is a protective covering for internal organs. Mesothelium is made from tissue comprised of mesothelial cells that reacts when exposed to asbestos. The asbestos fibers cause this tissue to inflame, leading to scar tissue plaques forming on the surface of the protective lining. It is within this scar tissue that malignant mesothelioma tumors begin to grow.

Pleural mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers are inhaled and become embedded in the protective lining of the lungs (pleura). Overtime, asbestos fibers cause inflammation and scarring within the lining that can lead to the progression of the disease.

When asbestos fibers are ingested they can develop into peritoneal mesothelioma, which forms within the abdominal lining (peritoneal lining).

An extremely rare form of the disease is pericardial mesothelioma, which develops in the membrane surrounding the heart (pericardium). Research suggests that pericardial mesothelioma forms when asbestos fibers travel through the blood stream where they then become embedded in the pericardial membrane.

Mesothelioma - Exposure, Causes and Consequences with Charlie Stern
Mesothelioma - Exposure, Causes and Consequences with Charlie Stern administrator 0 Views • 2 years ago

Beasley Allen's Charlie Stern explains Mesothelioma - Exposure, Causes and Consequences.

https://www.beasleyallen.com/mesothelioma/?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=video_desc

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The cancer develops in the mesothelium, the lining of certain internal organs. The greater the exposure, the greater the risk, although experts believe there is no safe level of asbestos exposure.

An estimated 2,500 people are diagnosed each year in the U.S. but the onset of the disease can take anywhere from 15 to 50 years after exposure. The disease occurs more often in men, and the average age of diagnosis is 69.

A particular tragedy with this type of cancer is that it can lay dormant for so long. Often when symptoms develop, a person doesn’t automatically connect earlier asbestos exposure with their illness. As a result, they may be misdiagnosed and delay treatment while trying to find out what’s wrong. There also is currently no known cure for mesothelioma, and the prognosis can be dire if the cancer is advanced when it is finally detected.

Beasley Allen lawyers often face heartbreaking situations working with people affected by meso, and their families, who are struggling with pain and disability while trying to battle corporate giants responsible for their asbestos exposure. We are dedicated to being an advocate for them, speaking when they might not be strong enough, and ensuring the wrongdoers are held accountable. For every battle we win, we hope there is more awareness around the issue of asbestos exposure so that more people find the help they need.
