What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that develops in the mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue that lines the internal organs. This cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos and can take a long time – often 10 to 40 years – after exposure to develop.
There are four main types of mesothelioma, and all are aggressive and currently incurable. They are named after the part of the body where they are found:
- Pleural mesothelioma impacts the lining of the lungs and chest cavity.
- Pericardial mesothelioma impacts the heart.
- Peritoneal mesothelioma impacts the lining of the abdominal cavity.
- Testicular mesothelioma impacts the membrane that lines the testes.
Doctors often describe mesothelioma based on the cell type. The three main cell types are:
- Epithelial
- Sarcomatoid
- Biphasic
The Symptoms Of Mesothelioma
Each form of mesothelioma has symptoms that vary based on the severity and stage of cancer. Because symptoms take time to develop, individuals encountering the signs of mesothelioma are typically at an advanced stage. Common symptoms include:
- Chest pain and heart palpitations
- Coughing, shortness of breath, and hoarseness
- Swelling of the arms, face, or abdomen
- Nausea, vomiting, and constipation
- Excessive sweating and fevers
- Weight loss
- Fatigue and tiredness
If you are experiencing these symptoms or have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should consider your work history to see if there is a connection to possible asbestos exposure.
