Understanding Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an aggressive and often fatal type of cancer. There are several types of mesothelioma with the most common form affecting the tissue surrounding the lungs (known as pleural mesothelioma). This form of mesothelioma can severely impact respiratory function, leading to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and persistent coughing.
Whilst pleural mesothelioma is the most common, it’s important to recognise that this cancer can also manifest in other, albeit rarer, areas of the body. For instance, it can target the abdomen, the area around the heart, and the testicles.
What is mesothelioma caused by?
Most cases of Mesothelioma are suspected to be caused by exposure to asbestos fibres. Overtime these fibres can cause inflammation and irreversible damage in the lining of various organs and it can take 20-60 years after initial exposure to develop mesothelioma.
While asbestos exposure is the primary known cause of mesothelioma, it’s worth mentioning that there are other potential risk factors. These include genetic mutations, hereditary predispositions, and certain health conditions that may increase susceptibility to the disease. However, for those who have a history of asbestos exposure and receive a mesothelioma diagnosis, it’s essential to recognize that asbestos exposure is a significant contributing factor.
