Introduction: What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction, shipbuilding, and other industries throughout the 20th century. Due to its long latency period, symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until decades after exposure to asbestos.
The prognosis for mesothelioma is often poor, but early detection and treatment can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival. At Client Services MRHFM Mesothelioma, we are dedicated to helping patients and their families navigate the complex healthcare system and access the best possible care.
What are the Symptoms of Mesothelioma?
The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary depending on the location of the cancer. In cases of pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the lungs, symptoms may include:
| Symptoms of Pleural Mesothelioma | Symptoms of Peritoneal Mesothelioma | Symptoms of Pericardial Mesothelioma |
|---|---|---|
| Shortness of breath | Abdominal pain | Chest pain |
| Chest pain | Swelling of the abdomen | Heart palpitations |
| Chronic cough | Nausea and vomiting | Difficulty breathing |
| Fatigue | Loss of appetite | Irregular heartbeat |
How is Mesothelioma Diagnosed?
Diagnosing mesothelioma can be challenging because its symptoms are similar to those of other, more common respiratory illnesses. Additionally, symptoms may not appear until decades after exposure to asbestos. To diagnose mesothelioma, doctors may perform a variety of tests and procedures, including:
Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs can help doctors identify abnormalities in the lungs or abdomen.
Biopsies: A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the affected area, which can be analyzed for signs of cancer.
Blood tests: While there is no specific blood test to diagnose mesothelioma, certain biomarkers can be used to help determine the presence of cancer.
At Client Services MRHFM Mesothelioma, we understand how confusing and stressful the diagnostic process can be. Our team is here to help you understand your diagnosis, explore treatment options, and connect you with the best possible medical care.
