Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, was used for decades in a myriad of household and commercial products. Its harmful fibers can be swallowed or inhaled and they can end up in the chest's lining or abdominal cavities. Mesothelioma occurs when the fibrils cause irritation and create tumors.
Doctors have only identified a link between exposure to asbestos lawsuit and pericardial mesothelioma in a few instances. They do not yet know exactly how asbestos contributes to this cancer in the pericardium, but they know that it happens in around quarter of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is due to the fact that it typically occurs decades after asbestos exposure.
In most instances, an individual exposed to asbestos can develop pleural mesothelioma. It forms in the lungs and forms a lining of the chest wall. There is also the possibility of developing testicular or peritoneal mesothelioma within male testes. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose pericardial msothelioma if the symptoms are similar to other heart problems.
The signs of pericardial asbestosis tend to develop gradually and can affect your ability to breathe.
