Nebraska mesothelioma information
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma in Nebraska you should know that the only known cause of the disease is exposure to asbestos. Typically, a person will show symptoms of mesothelioma 20-50 years after initial exposure to asbestos. This aggressive form of cancer is called mesothelioma because it affects the protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs called the mesothelium. The three areas of the mesothelium that are affected are the pleura, the peritoneum and the pericardium.
The first and most common form of mesothelioma is called pleura mesothelioma. This affects the outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity. Breathing in asbestos particles or having been exposed to the dust and fiber such as handling clothes of people who have worked with asbestos may cause damage to the lungs and eventually cause cancer. The second most common type of mesothelioma is called peritoneal mesothelioma which can occur in the lining of the abdominal cavity and the third most common type of cancer is pericardial mesothelioma, which is a type of cancer that affects the sac that surrounds the heart. All forms of mesothelioma cancer are very serious and should be treated as soon as diagnosed. Mesothelioma cancer is not passed from one person to another like a flu or viral infection. If you worked in the shipyards, mines and mills, asbestos plants, heating and air conditioning industries and other trades in Connecticut you may have been exposed to asbestos. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma in Nebraska please contact us today; we may be able to assist you.
