Mesothelioma has become one of the deadliest viruses of the last three decades. The root of the virus is found in exposure to asbestos material. Even if the disease is considered to be less prevalent in relation to other forms of cancer, such as lung cancer, it is disturbing to growth due to its airborne exposure mode, it has been quite lethal. There is still no cure for this form of cancer except chemotherapy. According to a report Malignant mesothelioma kills 10,000 people per year in the United States only.
The problem lies in the fact that there is no real alternative solution to asbestos. And since the end of the 70 companies that manufacture this equipment have always lied or ignored risk levels. But because thousands of cases of crime based on exposure to asbestos, manufacturing companies doing all they can to meet the standards of worker safety.
Transmission through asbestos
That by the 1970s are there sufficient data available to complete the connection of exposure to asbestos has proved. The toxic nature of asbestos if inhaled over a long period of time leads to form of mesothelioma cancer. There are secondary transmissions or the case of on-line transmission. In 2004, a lady in England got infected mesothelioma due to the clothing of his father who has been exposed to high levels of this toxic material. This case creates a whole new level of risk that the person concerned was not directly working in an environment of asbestos.
The redemptive fact of exposure to asbestos is that transmission of malignant mesothelioma is not possible with small periods of exposure. Cannot get cancer if she inhales toxins a few times. Prolonged exposure to this environment may be the only cause of this disease. Centre for Disease Control (CDC) a person may take up to 7 to 10 years to develop mesothelioma
Diagnosis of the disease.
Early diagnosis is the key to the fight against this disease, so diagnosing a set of common symptoms as early as possible is highly recommended. It is mainly in the case of persons working in the high risk environment.
The following is the basic process used in the diagnosis of mesothelioma
(A) a review CT or MRI to verify the presence of large fluid
(B) the lung function test and a chest x-ray is done after a thorough physical check
(C) finally a biopsy is necessary for confirmation of malignant mesothelioma
Biopsy depends on where the cancer. More commonly, it is located in the chest or abdomen. Although no test is perfect, based on medical history and the possibility of exposure to asbestos, the person some conclusions can be drawn.
