Milwaukee Mesothelioma Lawyers

Mesothelioma is an uncommon form of cancer. It involves the cells that line an organ, usually the lungs, abdominal organs and heart known as the mesothelium.

In the most common form of mesothelioma, tumors form on the sac that lines the chest cavity and protects the lungs. Most people who have mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos at work and in many instances, it may take 30-50 years after someone is exposed to asbestos before any symptoms of mesothelioma appear.

What Are The Symptoms of Mesothelioma?

Symptoms can vary depending on which organ is involved but can include:

Shortness of breath
Persistent cough
Pain under the rib cage
Weight loss
Abdominal pain and swelling
Fever
Anemia
Problems with blood clotting

How Is Mesothelioma Diagnosed?

Complete physical exam, including lung function tests, lung X-ray, blood tests
CT scan or MRI, which give detailed pictures of tissues & organs inside the body
Biopsy surgery to remove a tissue sample that is studied by a specialist (pathologist)

How Is Mesothelioma Treated?

Like most cancers, treatment can vary depending on what stage the cancer is in (how far it has progressed) and where it is located, as well as the patients overall health and age.

Treatment can include:

Surgery to remove tumors
Radiation
Chemotherapy
A combination of the above
Removal of fluid build-up from the chest or abdomen (to relieve pain and other symptoms)
Researchers are testing new treatments for mesothelioma. Some treatments are in the final stage of research clinical trials. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, ask your doctor about clinical trials taking place near you, or contact the National Cancer Institute.
