================== ARTICLE START ==================

An understanding of asbestos is necessary before we try to

understand mesothelioma lung cancer. Asbestos, a natural

fibrous mineral, used commonly in construction process and

manufacturing industries is detrimental to human health.

Continuous inhalation of its fibers enhances the susceptibility

to respiratory disorders and can lead to many dangerous

diseases. A leading example of such dangerous disease is

Mesothelioma lung cancer. Actually, mesothelioma lung cancer is

misnomer because mesothelioma cancers affect the lining of lungs

(pleura) and abdomen and not the lungs. Since mesothelioma

cancers mostly affect the lining of the lungs, it is generally

called mesothelioma lung cancer. The workers who had worked in

industries such as shipbuilding, asbestos mining, and asbestos

production are vulnerable to mesothelioma cancers.

Mesothelioma and the Role of Carcinogens:

What is mesothelioma cancer and how does the lining of the lung

become cancerous? Cancer is a tumor that is malignant in nature.

Tumor is formed when there is abnormal cell division and cell

multiplication in the cancerous cells. Exposure to carcinogens

or cancer-causing material like cigarette smoke, asbestos and

silica dust is instrumental in this abnormal cell division and

formation of tumor.

Mesothelioma cancer is directly linked to asbestos exposure.

However, those already exposed to asbestos have a greater

chance of developing lung cancer if they are exposed to other

carcinogens such as cigarette smoke. A study reports that the

workers with a history of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoke

are more prone to lung cancer than the non-smokers and those

with no history of asbestos exposure.

Complications Associated with Mesothelioma Cancer:

Normally, the latency stage for asbestos-related diseases in

general and mesothelioma cancers of the lining of lung in

particular, 20-50 years, which makes detection of Mesothelioma

a complicated issue. This situation is further aggravated

particularly where the worker is also addicted to cigarette

smoking. By the time, the disease shows its symptoms, a

considerable exposure to additional carcinogens linked to

cigarette smoking has already taken place. This makes a worker

more vulnerable to lung cancer besides the vulnerability to

mesothelioma cancers.

Mesothelioma Cancers and Legal Redress:

The Government is conscious of the ill effects of asbestos

exposure and the seriousness of mesothelioma cancer. The

employees working in factories with significant risk of

asbestos exposure are eligible for Mesothelioma compensation,

if the exposure is the cause of Mesothelioma. There has been a

spate of lawsuits for seeking compensation for mesothelioma and

lung cancers. In many cases, the courts have awarded heavy sums

as compensation against the asbestos manufacturing companies.
