Pericardial Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Pericardial Mesothelioma can be found in the pericardium, which is a part of the lining of the heart. This kind of mesothelioma usually produces symptoms such as chest pain or fatigue that can be similar to other health conditions.
The symptoms can take a long time to manifest following exposure to asbestos, making a diagnosis challenging. Patients should share their history of exposure to asbestos with their doctor to make sure they get a proper diagnosis.
What is the cause of Pericardial Mesothelioma?
Pericardial Mesothelioma is a cancer that is found in the thin membrane that lines the heart. It is among the rarest forms of mesothelioma which accounts for about 1% to 2% of all mesothelioma cases. Like mesothelioma types, pericardial mesothelioma is connected to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally found mineral that was used in a variety of commercial and household products for a long time. 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.
Doctors have only identified an association between asbestos exposure and pericardial mesothelioma only in a handful of instances. Although they aren't sure what causes asbestos-related cancer of the pericardium, they do know that around a quarter all mesothelioma patients are affected. This is partly because it is usually diagnosed decades after exposure to asbestos.
The majority of people exposed to asbestos develop pleural mesothelioma. This cancer forms in the lung's lining as well as the chest wall. It is also possible to develop testicular or peritoneal msothelioma that is found male testes. If they are also diagnosed with pericardial mesothelioma, it is difficult to determine because the symptoms are often similar to those of other heart conditions.
The symptoms of pericardial cancer tend to develop gradually and impact breathing. The symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and the accumulation of fluid around the heart, which is known as pericardial effusion. This condition is diagnosed by a physician using an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) or a biopsy.
A mesothelioma expert can determine if a patient suffers from this rare form of the disease and guide them to the most effective treatment. In addition to asbestos exposure other factors that could increase the risk of pericardial mesothelioma include genetics and an impaired immune system and radiation exposure. Those with mesothelioma-related family history have a higher risk of developing it as well.
Signs and symptoms
Pericardial mesothelioma also occurs by asbestos fibers affecting the tissue surrounding the heart. This rare type of cancer, which makes up less than one percent of all malignant cases of mesothelioma is found most often in people who have been exposed to asbestos in their work environment or in close proximity to people who have been affected by asbestos. Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms may vary and can mimic other conditions which makes it difficult to diagnose.
When asbestos particles adhere to the pericardium lining, they can cause tumors to expand and thicken the membrane. Doctors don't know how pericardial cancer develops, but they believe that asbestos particles are the reason. The majority of doctors believe that the cancer grew from a different part of the body, such as the abdominal cavity or the lungs (the peritoneum) and then it spread to the lining of the heart.
The lining of the chest and abdomen are both known as the mesothelium. This is the primary site for the majority of mesothelioma tumors grow. The disease can also start in the lining of the peritoneum or in the testicles, however this is much less common.
After exposure to asbestos case, the mesothelioma symptoms can take years to manifest. These symptoms can be similar to those of other illnesses that cause chest pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and weight loss. In some instances the pericardial tumor can cause clubbing. This is an illness where fingers get swollen and appear more rounded than normal.
Doctors determine if pericardial mesothelioma is a cancer the patient's medical history and symptoms. They will inquire about previous exposure to asbestos and perform imaging tests, like x-rays, CT scans and an echocardiogram to examine the pericardium. To confirm the diagnosis, they will also take a sample of fluid or tissue.
Pericardial mesothelioma is a very rare condition and a large number of doctors are unable to recognize the signs. It is crucial for patients to report all their symptoms to their doctor to be tested for mesothelioma and other ailments.

Diagnosis
Pericardial mesothelioma is difficult to identify. Symptoms often mimic more common heart disorders and may not appear until the condition has advanced in a significant way. Asbestos exposure can occur years before pericardial malignancies are diagnosed, making it difficult to identify the connection. Anyone with a history involving asbestos exposure should consult their physician about any signs that could be due to asbestos.
The cause of pericardial mesothelioma remains unknown However, doctors believe it occurs when asbestos fibers move from the lungs to the pericardium, and cause irritation to the tissues there. In time the tissues that are irritated transform into cancerous cells that transform into tumors. As a result of tumors, fluid forms around the organ. This pressure can cause symptoms.
Typically, doctors first perform imaging tests like X-rays and CT scans to identify any abnormal fluids or tumors. Then, they run blood tests to confirm the presence of mesothelioma as well as determine the extent of any spreading of cancerous cells.
Patients suffering from mesothelioma should be prepared to discuss their history of work with their doctor. Asbestos workers are at a higher risk of developing asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Patients who have had a history of exposure to asbestos litigation may be entitled to compensation in a mesothelioma lawsuit.

Treatment
To properly diagnose pericardial mesothelioma doctors must conduct physical examinations and talk to patients about their asbestos exposure background. They can then perform a series of tests, such as Xrays, CT Scans, echocardiograms and biopsies to identify the symptoms and determine if there is fluid accumulation in the pericardium.
It can take up to 60 years for asbestos fibers to penetrate the lining of the heart and cause cancerous cells to form. Because of this long time period of latency, it's important for anyone experiencing mesothelioma-related symptoms to see a doctor immediately. It is also important to be candid about their past exposure to asbestos so that they can receive the most effective treatment.
Pericardial Mesothelioma, which is among the rarest forms of mesothelioma is responsible for less than 1% of all cases of mesothelioma diagnosed. This is due in part to the difficulty in diagnosing this condition since it can mimic other heart diseases and signs.
The first step in the diagnosis process is a physical examination by an expert physician who listens to a patient's breathing and heartbeat. The doctor may also order a CT or MRI scan of the chest in order to look for tumors and find areas of swelling. If they discover fluid in the pericardium they will order an echocardiogram. This is to check the heart's function and see whether the lining has become thicker.
Once the doctor has concluded that there is a fluid buildup or a tumor in the pericardium they will perform an examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine if the tumor is malignant. In the course of the biopsy, doctors will remove tiny pieces of fluid or tissue and send samples to a laboratory to be tested further.
Many patients suffering from pericardial Sarcoidosis will not survive because the treatments are more limited than for other types. However, there are some new treatment options being studied which could provide better results for patients. One such method involves gene therapy, which entails adding or removing genes from a person's body to fight specific diseases. Immunotherapy is another option which aims at training a patient's immunity to fight cancer.
