What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, chest, abdomen, and heart. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, a mineral that was widely used in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and automotive manufacturing until the 1980s. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can get stuck in the mesothelial cells that line our organs and trigger cancerous growths. Mesothelioma has a long latency period, and symptoms may not appear until several decades after exposure to asbestos.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma symptoms can vary depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Some common signs to watch out for include:

Type of Mesothelioma	Symptoms
Pleural Mesothelioma	Chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss
Peritoneal Mesothelioma	Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Pericardial Mesothelioma	Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing

How is Mesothelioma Diagnosed?

Mesothelioma can be challenging to diagnose, as the symptoms are often similar to other respiratory and digestive conditions. However, if you have a history of asbestos exposure or work in high-risk industries, your doctor may suggest some tests to rule out Mesothelioma. These tests may include:

• Imaging scans such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI
• Biopsy of the affected tissue to confirm cancer diagnosis
• Blood tests to check for mesothelin, a marker that is elevated in some cases of Mesothelioma
