What you need to know about Mesothelioma and What you Can Do About It
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that is caused by asbestos exposure. Exposure happens when the asbestos fibers are disturbed and released into the air. If these fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can irritate healthy tissue and cause Mesothelioma to form up to twenty to fifty years after the initial exposure.
Asbestos was used in thousands of products, and many people have been unknowingly exposed. Those with a higher risk of mesothelioma are:
Auto or aircraft mechanics, boilermakers, carpenters, construction workers, drywall installers, electricians, factory workers, insulators, miners, painters, plumbers, shipbuilders, and military personnel.
When it comes to diagnosing Mesothelioma there are several steps to determine type, cell type, and stage. These steps are physical exams, blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, and biopsies.
