Pericardial Mesothelioma and asbestos litigation Exposure
Pericardial mesothelioma is a rare form of mesothelioma which occurs in the lining of the heart (pericardium). This kind of mesothelioma usually results in symptoms such as chest discomfort or fatigue, which can mimic other health conditions.
It can take a long time for symptoms to manifest after asbestos law exposure. This makes it difficult to make a diagnosis. Patients should share their history of exposure to asbestos with their doctor to ensure a correct diagnosis.
What is the cause of Pericardial Mesothelioma?
Pericardial Mesothelioma is a cancer that grows in the thin membrane that lines the heart. It is a rare type of mesothelioma, which is responsible for 1 to 2 % of all cases. Like all mesothelioma types, pericardial mesothelioma can be linked to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, was used for decades in a myriad of commercial and household items. The fibers are easily swallowed, inhaled or caught in the linings of the chest and abdominal cavities. Mesothelioma occurs when the fibrils cause irritation and then form tumors.
A few doctors have discovered a connection between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma pericardia. They are still unable to fully comprehend how asbestos contributes to this type of cancer in the pericardium, but they know that it occurs in 25% of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is partly because it usually occurs decades after exposure to asbestos.
In most instances, a person exposed to asbestos will develop pleural mesothelioma that develops in the lungs and forms a lining of the chest wall. However, they may also develop peritoneal melanoma, located in the abdomen or testicular mesothelioma, in the male testes. It is sometimes difficult to determine if pericardial msothelioma is if the symptoms are similar to those of other heart diseases.
The symptoms of pericardial asbestosis tend to develop gradually and can affect your ability to breathe. The symptoms include chest pain, breathing problems and a fluid accumulation around the heart, referred to as pericardial effusion. This condition is diagnosed by a doctor with an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) or a biopsy.
A mesothelioma expert can determine if a patient is suffering from this rare form of disease and assist them in finding the best treatment. In addition to asbestos exposure other factors that could increase the risk of developing pericardial mesothelioma include genetics, an impaired immune system, and radiation exposure. A family history of the disease also increases your risk.
Symptoms
As with other mesothelioma types, pericardial mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers reach the tissue that surrounds the heart. This rare form of cancer, which makes up less than 1percent of mesothelioma that is malignant is typically found in those who have been exposed to asbestos in their work environment or in close proximity to someone who has been affected by asbestos compensation. The symptoms of mesothelioma in the pericardium can be different and mimic other conditions, making diagnosis difficult.
As asbestos particles attach to the pericardium lining, they can cause tumors to expand and make the membrane thicker. Doctors don't know the causes of pericardial cancer, however, they believe asbestos particles are responsible for the development. Most doctors think that the cancer grew from a different part of the body, such as the lungs or abdominal cavity (the peritoneum) and then spread to the lining of the heart.
The lining of the chest and abdomen are known as the mesothelium. It is the primary location for mesothelioma tumors to grow. The disease can also start in the lining of the peritoneum or in the testicles however this is much less common.
Symptoms of mesothelioma, including mesothelioma of the pericardial region, can take decades to manifest after exposure to asbestos. These symptoms are typically similar to other diseases and can include chest pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, weight loss and an ongoing cough. In a few instances, pericardial mesothelioma can cause clubbing of the fingers the condition where the fingertips swell and appear larger than usual.
Doctors determine if pericardial mesothelioma is a cancer the patient's medical history and symptoms. They will inquire about any previous exposure to asbestos and conduct imaging tests, like x-rays, CT scans and an echocardiogram to look at the pericardium. To complete the diagnosis they will also collect a sample of fluid or tissue.

Anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure should consult their physician about any symptoms that may be related to asbestos.
Doctors do not know the specific cause of pericardial msothelioma. However, they believe it is caused by asbestos fibers that migrate from the lung into the pericardium to cause irritation to the tissue. In time, the irritated tissue mutates into cancerous cells that develop into tumors and thicken the pericardium. The pericardium is filled with fluid around the heart as a result of the tumors and the resulting pressure puts stress on the organ, which results in symptoms.
Typically, doctors perform imaging tests like X-rays and CT scans to detect extra fluids or tumors. Then, they run tests of blood to confirm the presence of mesothelioma, and determine the extent of any spreading of cancerous cells.
Patients suffering from mesothelioma should be ready to discuss their history of work with their physician. Asbestos workers are at a higher risk of developing asbestos-related diseases which include mesothelioma and lung cancer. Patients with a history of asbestos exposure could be eligible for compensation through mesothelioma lawsuits.

Treatment
Doctors must conduct physical exams and ask patients questions regarding their asbestos exposure to determine if pericardial mesothelioma is a cancer. They can then conduct a series of tests, such as X-rays, CT Scans, echocardiograms and biopsies, to locate the signs and determine if there's fluid buildup in the pericardium.
It can take up to 60 years for asbestos claim fibers to reach the tissue of the heart and cause cancerous cells to grow. It is crucial that anyone who has mesothelioma-related symptoms consult a doctor promptly because of the long time of latency. They should also be honest about their prior exposure to asbestos to ensure they receive the most effective treatment.
Pericardial Mesothelioma, one of the rarest types of mesothelioma that accounts for less than 1% of all cases of mesothelioma diagnosed. This is due in part to the difficulty of diagnosing this condition since it can mimic other heart diseases and symptoms.
A doctor will first look over the patient and listen to their heartbeat and breathing. The doctor can also order an MRI or CT scan of the chest in order to detect any areas of swelling, and also check for a tumor. If they discover fluid buildup in the pericardium, they will likely order an echocardiogram to observe how well the heart functions and determine whether there is any thickening of the lining.
After the doctor has determined there is a tumor or fluid buildup in the pericardium they will perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether it is malignant. During a biopsy doctors will take small amounts of tissue or fluid and send them to the lab for further testing.
Since pericardial mesothelioma is a smaller range of treatments than other types of cancer, a large percentage of patients will not be able to recover from the cancer. New treatment methods are being studied to offer better outcomes for patients. One of these is gene therapy, which involves adding or removing genes from a body to fight specific diseases. Immunotherapy is a different option, that aims to boost a patient's immunity to fight cancer.
