Pericardial Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Pericardial mesothelioma is an uncommon form of mesothelioma, which is found in the lining of the heart (pericardium). This type of mesothelioma typically results in symptoms such as chest pain or fatigue that can mimic other health conditions.
The symptoms can take a long time to develop after exposure to asbestos, making a diagnosis challenging. Patients should share their history of exposure to asbestos with their doctor to ensure a correct diagnosis.
What is the cause of Pericardial Mesothelioma?
Pericardial Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that grows in the thin membrane lining the heart. This is a rare type of mesothelioma which accounts for 1% to 2 % of all cases. Similar to mesothelioma other types, pericardial mesothelioma is linked to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, was used for decades in a myriad of household and commercial products. The toxic fibers can be swallowed or inhaled and they can get caught in the chest's lining or abdominal cavities. Mesothelioma develops when the fibrils become irritated and form tumors that eventually spread throughout the body.
Doctors have only discovered an association between asbestos exposure and pericardial mesothelioma in just a few cases. They are still unable to fully understand how asbestos leads to this cancer in the pericardium, but they do know that it occurs in about 25% of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is partly because it typically occurs years after exposure to asbestos.
In most instances, an individual exposed to asbestos will develop pleural mesothelioma. It forms in the lungs and forms a lining of the chest wall. However, they could also develop peritoneal mesothelioma, found in the abdomen, or testicular mesothelioma, which is found in the male testes. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose pericardial msothelioma when the symptoms are similar to other heart conditions.
The symptoms of pericardial cancer tend to appear gradually and affect the ability to breathe. The symptoms include chest pain, breathing problems and a build-up of fluid around the heart known as pericardial effusion. A doctor can diagnose this condition through an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound scan of the heart, or a pericardial biopsy.
A mesothelioma specialist can help determine if a patient has the rare form of this disease and recommend the best treatment. Other factors, like genetics, an weakened immune system, and exposure to radiation can increase the risk of pericardial msothelioma. People who have mesothelioma-related family history have an increased risk as well.
Signs and symptoms
As with other mesothelioma types, pericardial mesothelioma occurs when asbestos fibers enter the tissue that surrounds the heart. This uncommon form of cancer which is responsible for less than one percent of mesothelioma cases that are malignant, is primarily found in people who were exposed to asbestos in the workplace or in the home of someone who was impacted by asbestos law. Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms can vary and can mimic other conditions and make it difficult to determine the cause.
When asbestos particles adhere to the pericardium lining, they can cause tumors to grow and make the membrane thicker. It is believed that this is the reason for mesothelioma of the pericardium, but doctors know little about how it develops. The majority of doctors believe that the cancer grew from an area of the body, like the abdominal cavity or the lungs (the peritoneum) and then moved to the lining of the heart.
The lining of the abdomen and chest are called the mesothelium, which is the primary site for the majority of mesothelioma tumors develop. The disease may also start in the lining of the peritoneum or in the testicles, though this is far less common.
The symptoms of mesothelioma, such as mesothelioma of the pericardial region can take a long time to show up after exposure to asbestos. The symptoms may be similar to those of other diseases such as chest pain, difficulty breathing and fatigue, as well as weight loss. In some instances, pericardial mesothelioma may cause a swollen finger this is a condition that causes the fingers expand and appear more round than normal.
Doctors diagnose pericardial mesothelioma based on the patient's medical history and symptoms. They will inquire about previous exposure to asbestos and perform imaging tests like x-rays, CT scans and an echocardiogram to look at the pericardium. They will also collect an x-ray or a tissue sample to confirm the diagnosis.

Asbestos exposure can take place years before pericardial msothelioma can be diagnosed and it is difficult to determine the connection. Anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure should share their exposure history with their doctors and ask about asbestos case-related symptoms.
The cause of pericardial mesothelioma remains unknown, but doctors believe that it occurs when asbestos claim fibers move from the lungs to the pericardium and irritate the tissue there. Over time the tissues that are irritated transform into cancerous cells which grow into tumors. Because of tumors, fluid accumulates around the organ. This pressure causes symptoms.
Typically, doctors first perform imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans to detect abnormal fluids or tumors. They then run tests on blood to confirm the presence of mesothelioma and determine the extent of cancerous cells growing.
Patients suffering from mesothelioma should be ready to discuss their history of work with their doctor. Asbestos workers are at a higher risk of developing asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Patients who have had an asbestos-related past may qualify for compensation through mesothelioma litigation.

Treatment
Doctors must conduct physical examinations and ask patients questions about their asbestos exposure to diagnose pericardial a mesothelioma. They can then utilize different tests such as X-rays CT Scans, Echocardiograms and Biopsies to locate the symptoms.
It can take as long as 60 years for asbestos fibers to penetrate the heart's lining and cause cancerous cells to grow. Because of this lengthy latency period, it is important for anyone experiencing mesothelioma-related symptoms to consult a doctor immediately. They should also be open about their past exposure to asbestos so they can receive the most effective treatment possible.
Pericardial mesothelioma is among the rarest types of mesothelioma and is responsible for less than one percent of all mesothelioma cases that are diagnosed. This is due in part to the difficulty of diagnosing this condition since it may be similar to other heart diseases and symptoms.
The first step in the diagnosis process is a physical examination conducted by an expert physician who listens to the patient's breathing pattern and heartbeat. The doctor can also request a CT or MRI scan of the chest to check for tumors and areas of swelling. If they spot fluid buildup in the pericardium, they will likely request an echocardiogram to determine how the heart is working and to determine if there is any lining thickening.
If the doctor is able to determine there is a tumor or a fluid buildup in the pericardium they will conduct a biopsy to confirm their diagnosis and determine if it is malignant. When they perform a biopsy, doctors will remove small amounts of tissue or fluid and send samples to a laboratory for further analysis.
Many victims of pericardial sarcoidosis are not able to survive due to the fact that the treatments are more limited than for other types. New treatment options are being investigated that could offer better outcomes for patients. Gene therapy is one of these methods. It involves adding or eliminating certain genes from the body of a patient to fight specific diseases. Immunotherapy is a different option, that aims to boost a patient's immunity to fight cancer.
