Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma Symptoms
We mentioned previously that many patients do not experience symptoms of malignant Mesothelioma in its early stages. But as the cancer spreads, certain symptoms will become more noticeable, these are some of the symptoms for the different types of malignant Mesothelioma:- Symptoms of pleural Mesothelioma, the most common form of Mesothelioma cancer, are usually shortness of breath, chronic cough, chest pain, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and difficulty sleeping.
- Symptoms of peritoneal Mesothelioma (abdominal Mesothelioma cancer) may include abdominal pain and swelling, nausea, loss of appetite, weakness, and weight loss.
- Symptoms of pericardial Mesothelioma typically do not appear until the cancer has progressed to more serious stages, and may include chest pain, chronic cough, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath.
Diagnosis and Legal Advice
Diagnosis of the disease is usually made by a pathological review of tissue taken from the tumor. A series of immunohistochemical stains are used by a pathologist to distinguish between Mesothelioma and other types of malignant cancer.The only known cause of Mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos.
