Mesothelioma is a malignant cancer which occurs in the lung due to an over limit exposure of asbestos. Asbestos is a material which is popular composition used to build a building for it can add the building’s sound resistance, heat tackle, and electric and chemical damage resistance. It is known that exposure to asbestos as short as 3 months can trigger mesothelioma or tend to turn in to other serious disease such as tumor or asbestosis. In this case mesothelioma is the most dangerous case for its symptoms cannot be predicted before it is too late.
Mesothelioma happens because lungs cover is swallowing due to the deposition of asbestos that is inhaled by the suspect. Asbestos triggers lungs cover’s cells to develop malignant mesothelial plagues which then grows larger and contaminating the whole surface of lungs. In severe case, the mesothelial plagues can transport and develop in other vital organs and are also harmful. These mesothelial plagues then turn to be the cancer. As the lungs got stuffed with suspension caused by the cancer, eventually air circulation to lungs is no longer in order. The suspect begins to breathe shorter and develop continual cough. The deposition of fluid inside the lungs is also causing the suspects to throw out fluid frequently because his lungs keep producing the fluid. Other diagnoses include fever, anemia, weight loss, chest wall pains, blood cough, and fatigue. Most case of mesothelioma is hard to be diagnosed without a complete check which includes CT-scan, X-ray, biopsy test, or microscopic examination.
Causes of mesothelioma other than continuous contact with asbestos are hard to find, but it is likely that smoking can also trigger mesothelioma. People who are frequently smoking are vulnerable to mesothelioma because smoking can induce asbestos in some case.
