Extractions: Home Personal Injury Medical Malpractice Criminal Law ... Other Practice Areas Related Topics About Cancer Peritoneal Malignant ... Treatment Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that attacks cells, called mesothelial cells that make up membrane lining in the chest and abdominal cavity. The tissue called mesothelium, which is formed by the mesothelial cells, help protects the organs by producing a lubricating fluid that allows the organs to move without irritating nerves. Almost always mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos but some researchers believe the virus SV40 can also be a factor. While mesothelioma affects the lungs, it is not a lung cancer. Smokers are at risk for lung cancer, which in effect could lead to contracting other asbestos-related diseases. Lung cancer is more common and arises in the lungas inner tissues opposed to mesothelioma, which develops in the tissue that covers the lung. Mesothelioma is most commonly located in the pleural and peritoneal regions of asbestos exposed workers. Pleural mesothelioma is cancer of the pleura, the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity. Peritoneal mesothelioma is cancer of the peritoneum, the lining of the abdomen. Pleural mesothelioma can usually be diagnosed earlier than peritoneal mesothelioma. Both pleural and peritoneal cancer involves serosal membranes, which are delicate membranes composed of connective tissue. Mesothelioma normally begins in the lungs and spread to the abdominal lining, which worsens the condition. The invasive nature of the tumor on heart and lungs are usually the ending factor in the patient.

http://www.med.harvard.edu/JPNM/TF98_99/Mar16/WriteUp.html

Extractions: Alan J. Fischman, MD, PhD A 67 year old male presented with cough and dyspnea. A chest radiograph (not showm) revealed moderately large left pleural effusion. A chest MRI (not shown) was also performed that showed contrast enhancement of the left pleura. FDG PET imaging and thoracoscopy were then performed. Coronal FDG PET: Attenuation-corrected imaging 45 minutes after intravenous injection of 17 mCi FDG. The series of coronal PET images , from anterior (top left) to posterior (bottom right), show asymmetric abnormal hypermetabolism surrounding the left hemithorax highly suspicious for malignancy. The differential diagnosis for pleural disease is as follows: Pleuritis Serofibrinous (TB, pneumonia, infarct, rheumatoid arthritis, uremia) Suppurative (empyema) Hemorrhagic (bleeding dyscrasia, neoplasm) Neoplasm Metastatic (lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer) Primary (benign and malignant mesothelioma) The patient underwent thoracoscopy with pleural biopsy followed by left extrapleural pneumonectomy. Both the biopsy and the surgical specimen demonstrated extensive malignant mesothelioma involving both parietal and visceral pleura.

http://www.asbestosresource.com/mesothelioma/

Extractions: Related Links Tumors of the mesothelium can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Since malignant mesothelioma is much more common than benign mesothelioma it is often simply called mesothelioma. Characteristics of a malignant tumor are that it has the ability to spread to other parts of the body, making it much more dangerous. Malignant mesothelioma is divided into three types: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and mixed/biphasic. 50% to 70% of mesothelioma cases are epithelioid, which also has the best prognosis (outlook for survival). 7% to 20% are of the sarcomatoid type, and 20% to 35% are the mixed/biphasic type. Epithelioid affects the membranous tissue covering internal organs and other internal surfaces of the body. Sarcomatoid arises from supportive tissue, such as bone, muscles, cartilage, or fat. Biphasic mesothelioma has features of both epithelioid and sarcomatoid. The treatment options are the same for each type. Approximately three-fourths of mesothelioma cases start in the chest cavity and are known as pleural mesothelioma . Another 10% to 20% begin in the abdomen and are called peritoneal mesothelioma . Those starting in the cavity around the heart, or pericardial mesothelioma, are very rare. The covering layer of the testicles is actually an outpouching of peritoneum into the scrotum. Mesothelioma that affects this covering of the testicles is quite uncommon.

The development of mesothelioma is dose related to asbestos exposure. mesotheliomaattacks the lining between the lungs and the chest cage.
http://members.tripod.com/~stvmcqueen/meso.html

Extractions: The development of mesothelioma is dose related to asbestos exposure. Patients report history of moderate asbestos exposure several years to over two decades prior to the development of the disease. Course of the disease is usually rapidly progressive with most patients surviving less than two years post diagnosis. Excerpt from Penina Speigel's book: Mesothelioma attacks the lining between the lungs and the chest cage. The particular form Steve had, called a high-grade malignancy, is particularly virulent, spreading wildly from the lungs to the other organs. By the time the cancer is detectable, the patient usually has just months to live. "I don't know anyone with the disease who's been cured," said the chief of oncology of a Culver City, California, medical center at the time. Chemotherapy was not ordinarily effective, nor was surgery. Mesothelioma is most frequently seen in shipyard workers, construction workers, and miners. Cigarette smoking is not associated with the disease; it attacks smokers and non-smokers with equal frequency. mesothelioma is a cancer whose cause has been known since the mid-1960s: asbestos. Steve had been peculiarly surrounded by asbestos all his life. It was often present in his place of work during his itinerant years when be picked up odd jobs-at construction sites, for example. Asbestos was used in the insulation of every modern ship built before 1976; it is found on sound stages, in the brake linings of race cars, and in the protective helmets and suits worn by race car drivers.

Extractions: HSE press release E242:03 - 5 December 2003 The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) today published updated statistics predicting the future numbers of people likely to die in Britain as a result of mesothelioma, a form of cancer caused by asbestos. These statistics, put together using the latest modelling techniques, suggest the annual number of deaths will peak at a lower level than previously predicted (published in 1995), and will peak sooner. The number of mesothelioma deaths in Great Britain (males and females of all ages) is now predicted to peak somewhere between 1,950 and 2,450 annually. The peak is expected between the years 2011 and 2015. Previously published projections were restricted to men below age 90. Making the same restriction to the current model suggests a peak of between 1,650 and 2,100 deaths, between the years 2011 and 2015. This updates a projection made in 1995 which suggested an annual peak of between 2,700 and 3,300 deaths around the year 2020.

This web site has been created without help (financial or otherwise) from any attorneys or attorney advocates, and the views expressed are my own. To illustrate both valid and invalid asbestos claims, I have included several cases evaluated over the years. This Primer is written in lay language so as to reach the widest possible audience.

Selecting A Mesothelioma Attorney: Consumer Tips

http://www.scambusters.org/mesothelioma-attorney.html

Extractions: These pages provide consumer tips for how to deal with the financial aspects of selecting a mesothelioma attorney. They do not provide any information regarding the medical aspects of this serious disease. Since so much is at stake, selecting the right mesothelioma lawyer is very important. According the Wall Street Journal, lawyers say a typical mesothelioma award in a mesothelioma settlement is $1 million, and attorneys get 40% of this amount. If the case actually goes to trial, the average award was $6 million in 2001, which was triple the amount awarded just two years earlier. So, mesothelioma attorneys are very eager to find mesothelioma patients. And it's vital that patients select the mesothelioma attorneys that are best for them. Companies that manufacture products that contain asbestos have known for over 60 years that asbestos can cause serious diseases. Unfortunately, because many of these companies wanted to increase their profits, they kept this information quiet, thereby seriously endangering their workers.

Extractions: Mesothelioma is almost always fatal, but steps can be taken to prolong life. So far, treatment options include: Surgery - Depending on how far the cancer has progressed, it may be necessary to remove part of the lining of the chest or abdomen and some of the tissue around either. In more advanced cases, a doctor may have to remove one of the patient's lungs, part of the diaphragm, or the pericardium. Draining fluid from the lungs, abdomen or pericardium is another surgical procedure. This treatment is used to ease a patient's pain or discomfort, and sometimes to prevent fluid from building up again, but it is not a cure for the disease. Chemotherapy - This is the use of drugs for treating cancer. The drugs can be ingested in pill form or they can be injected by needle into a vein or muscle. Chemotherapy therapy is systemic therapy, which means that the drug enters the bloodstream and circulates throughout the body (through the whole system) to reach and destroy the cancer cells.

Bain, DVM, PhD Class of 2003 (Kavula), Department of Pathology (Latimer, Bain), College of Veterinary Medicine, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-7388 Introduction Mesotheliomas are rare neoplasms that originate from ectodermal cells that line the body cavities. Healthy mesothelium is composed of a flattened monolayer of mesothelial cells that line the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities. These cells also cover the tunica albuginea of the testes. Mesothelial cells are characterized by the presence of microvilli and desmosomes. They also have the potential to phagocytose cells and particulate matter. When mesothelial cells are perturbed following inflammation or irritation, they may increase in size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia). Following fluid accumulation within the body cavities, mesothelial cells may exfoliate and implant on serosal surfaces. Mesotheliomas are malignant neoplasms. Their exfoliated cells also can seed the body cavities. Although multiple tumors often are present, distant metastases are rare. Non-neoplastic mesothelial cells affected by inflammation, irritation, or malignancy may have a similar cytologic appearance to mesothelioma cells. Thus, cytologic distinction of neoplastic and reactive mesothelial cells can be challenging to impossible.

Honeywell said in a statement Monday that it was unable to agree to terms with Federal-Mogul Corp. after several months of negotiations. Last January, the two companies entered into a letter of intent under which Federal-Mogul would acquire Bendix and Honeywell would receive a permanent injunction shielding it from all current and future asbestos-related personal injury claims related to Bendix, according to Honeywell's 10-Q filing released in November. Bendix manufactured automotive brake pads that contained asbestos in an encapsulated form. Through the end of last September, Honeywell had resolved approximately 62,500 asbestos claims, largely from professional brake mechanics. There were approximately 71,000 claims pending last November, according to the company's 10-Q filing.
