MESOTHELIOMA INJURY

Mesothelioma injury can be classified into three main groups, Pleural which happens in the chest lining, Peritoneal which is centered in the abdomen lining and Pericardial which centers in the lining around the heart. All three types of mesothelioma injury are mainly cause from exposure to asbestos or live with someone who worked or was exposed to asbestos.

Mesothelioma injury arises when the mesothelioma cells surrounding the lungs, heart, or abdominal organs become cancerous and then those cells divide. The mesothelioma cells change to form nodules, which can then clump together to form a tumor, or tumors around the organ. In more extreme cases of Mesothelioma Cancer, the mesothelioma tumor can break through the walls of the organs that it surrounds and cause internal damage to the organ. Also, in some cases the cancer can travel through the blood stream and affect other organs such as kidneys or lymph nodes, not directly surrounded by the original mesothelioma cancerous cells.

The origins of mesothelioma injury begin when a person is exposed to an asbestos related substance. The person normally inhales the deadly asbestos and these fibers travel to the chest, abdomen or heart. The body’s natural defense system will attempt to remove the fibers from the body, through attempts to expel the fibers. However, some fibers will become lodged in the mesothelioma cell layers that provide a protective layer around the lungs, heart and abdominal area. Unfortunately symptoms from mesothelioma injury take a great deal of time and since time is of the essence with this disease most victims have only a few months.
