Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
The Cause
Your father, husband, son or other family member has Pleural Mesothiloma and you do not know what to do. How did your loved one contract this cancer if its so rare?
Consider this. The National Institute of Cancer states that those people working with asbestos or exposed to it are at risk for pleural mesothelioma. 80% of people diagnosed with pleural Mesothiloma have been exposed to asbestos. Smoking may seem like a risk factor but alone, Smoking, is a low risk factor while in conjunction with asbestos exposure the risk increases two fold.
The Form
In Malignant Pleural mesothelioma the cancer cells are found in a sac lining in the abdominal cavity or the lining around the heart. Found in the lining of the chest its a swift and painful killer for as the cells begin to divide and spread they affect the organs around them leading to complications that become life threatening.
Asbestos Exposure
Not all workers who have been exposed to asbestos contract Pleural Mesothiloma as the disease may be related to asbestos exposure but asbestos in the 'finished' form is not harmful. Which means that if the asbestos is already fixated into the walls and pipes it will have no harmful effect but if there are particles free in the air only then, will the asbestos adversely effect the worker.
Inhalation of the particles works causes the small fibres to work their way into the body and they then stay there causing ill effects. The effect on the body depends on the type of exposure to asbestos the worker has had.
