Our Mesothelioma Lawyers Are Trusted Nationwide

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that primarily affects the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue covering most of the internal organs. The most common type is pleural mesothelioma, which occurs in the lining of the lungs (pleura). Other forms include peritoneal mesothelioma, affecting the abdominal lining, and pericardial mesothelioma, which affects the lining around the heart. Mesothelioma is most commonly linked to asbestos exposure. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can become lodged in the mesothelium, leading to inflammation and scarring, which over time can cause cells to become cancerous.

The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary depending on the location of the cancer but often include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup around the lungs for pleural mesothelioma. Peritoneal mesothelioma may cause abdominal pain, swelling, and digestive issues. Due to its long latency period, often 20 to 50 years after exposure, mesothelioma is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests to confirm the presence of mesothelioma cells.

Treatment for mesothelioma can be challenging due to its aggressive nature and the advanced stage at which it is often diagnosed. Options may include surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, and radiation therapy to target specific areas. Emerging treatments, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy, are also being explored. Despite these efforts, the prognosis for mesothelioma remains poor, with a five-year survival rate of less than 10%. Early detection and advances in treatment offer some hope, emphasizing the importance of awareness and monitoring for those with a history of asbestos exposure.
