Asbestos Causes Mesothelioma


It is generally found that mesothelioma cancer arises due to much exposure of asbestos. Today i am going to write some information about it that how it happens. I hope you will like my this article.

Mesothelioma cancer develops after exposure to asbestos, which most often occurs in the workplace – in industrial settings, shipyards, auto repair shops, old houses, schools and public buildings. It takes long-term exposure to make someone at risk, but heavy, short-term asbestos exposure is known to cause mesothelioma cancer.

                    


Microscopic asbestos fibers are breathed in or swallowed. The human body has difficulty destroying or getting rid of these fibers. Over decades, the fibers cause biological changes that result in inflammation, scarring and genetic damage. The most susceptible area to these fibers is the lining of the lungs, called the pleura, although fibers also can become trapped in the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Once fibers cause biological damage, the stage is set for a 20- to 50-year latency period for malignant mesothelioma to develop.

Despite of today's age and modern techniques this havoc disease is still not properly curable however scientists and doctors have given some precautionary measures to avoid this aggressive cancer and relative therapies are also suggested by doctors.
