5 Year Survival Mesothelioma
➡️ http://MesotheliomaUSA.net

You will find information about the number of people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. You will also read general information on surviving the disease. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. Use the menu to see other pages.

It is estimated that about 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year in the United States. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men. It is also more common in white and Hispanic people than in Asian American or African American people. The average age for a pleural mesothelioma diagnosis is 72. The number of people diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States is no longer increasing as it has been in previous decades, and it is now decreasing slightly in men.

The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The overall 5-year survival rate for people with mesothelioma is 10% because it is usually diagnosed at a late stage.

If the cancer is found at an early, localized stage, the 5-year survival rate for people with mesothelioma is 18%. If the cancer has spread to nearby areas and/or lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is 12%. If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 7%.

The length of time a person lives after being diagnosed with mesothelioma depends on many factors, including the person’s age. People diagnosed at a younger age often live longer. The type of mesothelioma can also influence survival rates. In particular, some people with peritoneal mesothelioma have a tumor that grows very slowly. People with peritoneal mesothelioma often live longer. People who are able to receive surgery generally live longer than people whose cancer has spread too far to be surgically removed.

It is important to remember that statistics on the survival rates for people with mesothelioma are an estimate. The estimate comes from annual data based on the number of people with this cancer in the United States. Also, experts measure the survival statistics every 5 years. So the estimate may not show the results of better diagnosis or treatment available for less than 5 years. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions about this information.

What Happens in the Final Stages of Mesothelioma?

According to the Mayo Clinic, the following symptoms are what happens in the final stages of different types of mesothelioma:

Pleural mesothelioma – The final stages of pleural mesothelioma that surrounds the lungs include painful coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, and lumps of tissue under the skin in the chest area.
Peritoneal mesothelioma – The final stages of peritoneal mesothelioma that occurs in the abdomen include severe abdominal pain and swelling, nausea, and weight loss.
Pericardial mesothelioma – The final stages of pericardial mesothelioma that occurs around the heart tissue include difficulty breathing and chest pain.
Tunica vaginalis mesothelioma – The final stages of tunica vaginalis mesothelioma that affects testicular tissue may be pain near the tumor or swelling.

How Mesothelioma Develops?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, which can lay dormant in the body for decades. When mesothelioma cancer begins to develop, it is typically aggressive and deadly. Research from the Annals of Translational Medicine indicates that some people have a greater risk of developing mesothelioma over their lifetime. Mesothelioma is currently linked to asbestos exposure from the mining, use, or processing of asbestos. People who suffered substantial exposure to asbestos include the following:

Workers in asbestos mining plants.
Workers in asbestos processing plants.
Those who live near any asbestos mining or processing plant.
Firefighters and construction workers working in older homes with asbestos.
Workers in industries (prior to the 1980s) that contained asbestos materials including power plants, chemical plants, auto mechanics, shipyards, building construction, boiler workers, insulation workers, military facilities, or home renovation businesses.
Homeowners who self-renovated their houses containing asbestos.
World Trade Center workers following the 9/11 terror attacks.

No Safe Asbestos Exposure.

Research published in the Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences indicates that workers who suffered exposure to asbestos inhaled asbestos particles that traveled to the lungs or the peritoneal membrane through the lymphatic system. At this point, the asbestos fibers became trapped and eventually led to inflammation, irritation, and cellular changes, resulting in cancer. While researchers are uncertain why asbestos fibers take so long to develop into cancer, the connection between asbestos and mesothelioma cancers appears quite clear.

Final Stages of Mesothelioma.

Unfortunately, the final stages of mesothelioma remain uncomfortable for many patients. Depending on the exact type of mesothelioma, patients typically endure pain near the area of cancer, as well as difficulty breathing, chest pain, painful coughing, or abdominal pain and swelling. They will likely need additional care to make them comfortable. Many receive hospice care at this time. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, a patient entering the final weeks of their life may exhibit the following symptoms:

Exhaustion and weakness, including the need to sleep a great deal.
Weight loss or muscle thinning.
Little to no appetite or interest in doing things previously considered important.
Decreased ability to concentrate or talk to others.
Slower breathing (or noisy breathing depending on the type of mesothelioma).
Cool skin that may turn a bluish color.
Loss of bladder and bowel control, as well as a decreasing amount of urine.
Dry lips and mouth.
Confusion regarding people, the place they are in, or their surroundings.
Repetitive and involuntary movements.
Hallucinations including being welcomed by people who have already died, preparing for some sort of traveling, or preparing for a trip.
Loss of consciousness, or drifting in and out of consciousness.

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.
