Three deadly diseases that affect the Asbestos plant workers

Asbestos a fibrous mineral found in nature in metamorphic form. Many workers are employed in digging asbestos from the rocks. This causes more risks to those workers as it is very hazardous. The three deadly diseases that affect the workers are lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Let us see all these three diseases in detail.

Mesothelioma Vs Lung Cancer

Mesothelioma and lung cancer, both are serious issues, looks similar but are not same. Mesothelioma is often termed as “asbestos lung cancer” as it results from exposure to asbestos, either directly or indirectly and it is not a form of Lung cancer since it doesn’t develop in the tissue of the lungs. So it is [...]

Mesothelioma – Blood Test

Evidence to date in our own suggests that serum SMRP measurements may have a useful role in the diagnosis of mesothelioma and in monitoring disease progression. Serum SMRP measurements play an important role in the diagnosis of mesothelioma. Mesomark is easily done through blood tests that use enzyme-linked immunosorbent to measure the content of Soluble [...]

Mesothelioma Effects on the Body Cavity

Mesothelioma is cancer of the mesothelium which is a membrane that covers the abdominal cavity, the chest cavity, and the heart. Mesothelioma is one of the killers disease in which the mesothelium cells start dividing rapidly and multiply without any order or control. These certain virus affects the cell cycle and inhibits apoptosis, allowing uncontrolled [...]

Relationship Between Asbestoses and Mesothelioma

For distinguishing asbestosis and mesothelioma, we first need to learn about their main cause and the condition which leads to these diseases. The common cause for asbestosis and mesothelioma is the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Although these two are totally different conditions but there are some similarities between the two illnesses and the treatment for [...]

Mesothelioma Diagnosis Methods

First of all take chest X-ray, if it shows any symptoms of Malignant Mesothelioma, then move for further checking. The additional checking’s include different imaging studies, blood tests, scanning of bones and tests of lung functioning. Other than this in-depth diagnosis such as thoracentesis, thoracoscopy, pleurascopy or a lung biopsy is done to identify the [...]
