What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the lining around the lungs, heart and abdominal cavities - called the mesothelium - mainly due to chronic exposure to asbestos or products. When asbestos fibers get into the body either by breathing or swallowing, which is usually the mutation of healthy cells into cancer cells. This risk may be direct, such as working in asbestos-processing center, or the inhalation of asbestos particles in clothing, building materials or residues. Studies show that exposure as short as a year, the cause of many asbestos-related diseases, such as his illness.
Three types of diseases:

There are three main types of illness: Y. Lung disease, the peritoneum, pericardium Everyone has different effects on the areas of the body and can cause various diseases.

Pleural mesothelioma:
It affects the lining of the lungs. Destroy the microscopic asbestos fibers torn-sensitive cells, which ultimately scarring and eventually mutations that lead to cell plates. These films are hampered operations on the lungs and can cause cancer.

Peritoneal mesothelioma:
This applies equally dangerous cancer in the stomach and intestines. Asbestos particles can travel through and penetrate cells and cancer to develop.

Pericardial disease:
The rarest form of cancer affects the bag to the heart. Mercy provides lubricants and heart rate, and the development of tumors, and tiles can cause many serious health problems.
Types of symptoms:

* The symptoms of pleural mesothelioma:
Chest pain
Fluid in the lungs or
Difficulty breathing or
support, or coughing
Hoarse
or wheezing

* Symptom-abdominal disease
Stomach ache
Fluid-or gastro-intestinal or stomach pain
Lunches or abdomen
Difficulties in movement or bowel
Weight loss
Nausea

* Symptoms of pericardial diseases:
Coughing or
Chest pain
Palpitations or
Difficulty breathing or

Mesothelioma cells and mutation.

Mesothelioma mesothelium cause cells to change and multiply indefinitely. This mutation causes lung cancer, prevent, and may be an adequate cardiac function. Since mesothelial cells responsible for the internal lubrication are% u2019s body fluids, is a particularly insidious mesothelioma, because it can affect both organs, usually without serious symptoms or pain. Mesothelioma can attack the parts of the immune system, including bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen, where he continued to change in order will destroy healthy cells.
Time evolution of the disease:

Cancer cells can remain latent for years, and it is not unusual for the initial effects of the disease, first 20-30 years after exposure. Unfortunately there is no cure for the disease and the treatment to prolong surgery before chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Once manifest the symptoms, it is often too late. Because the disease for some time, the long-term survival after diagnosis of 1-5 years, depending on the stage of the tumor and the age and condition of the victim's idle.
Other studies of asbestos disease and death:

Studies show that up to 10,000 asbestos-related deaths in the United States each year. These 10,000 people are not just statistics, grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors. Often the asbestos companies knew of the dangers of their products, but decided to ignore the risk of profit. If you or disease, the result of careless use of asbestos love, you have an obligation and commitment compensated for their losses. Lawyers with knowledge of their state is willing to take the case.
