Asbestos is a type of naturally occurring mineral that was utilized in a wide range of commercial and household items for decades. Its harmful fibers can be swallowed or inhaled and can be 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 identified a link between asbestos legal exposure and pericardial mesothelioma only in a few instances. They still do not fully understand how asbestos leads to this type of cancer in the pericardium, however they do know that it occurs in around quarter of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is in part because it usually occurs years after a patient's asbestos exposure.
In most instances, an individual exposed to asbestos will develop pleural mesothelioma that forms in the lungs and forms a lining of the chest wall. There is also the possibility of developing testicular or peritoneal msothelioma in male testes. If they are diagnosed with pericardial mesothelioma, it can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often resemble those of other heart conditions.
The signs of pericardial asbestosis tend to be gradual and may affect the ability to breathe. These symptoms can include chest pain, difficulty breathing and a fluid buildup around the heart, which is known as pericardial effusion. This condition is diagnosed by a physician using an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) or a biopsy.
A mesothelioma specialist can determine if a patient suffers from this rare type of disease and help them find the best treatment. In addition to asbestos exposure, other factors that can increase the risk of developing pericardial cancer include genetics as well as an impaired immune system, and radiation exposure.

The reason for pericardial mesothelioma remains unknown However, doctors believe it occurs when asbestos fibers travel from the lungs into the pericardium, and cause irritation to the tissue there. Over time the tissue that has been irritated transforms into cancerous cells, which then grow into tumors and thicken the pericardium. The pericardium is filled with fluid around the heart due to the tumors, and the resulting pressure puts stress on the organ and leads to symptoms.
Typically, doctors first perform imaging tests such as Xrays and CT scans to identify any extra fluids or tumors. Then, they run blood tests to confirm the presence of mesothelioma and determine the extent of any spreading of the cancerous cells.

They can then perform a series of tests, such as X-rays, CT Scans, echocardiograms and biopsies, to locate the symptoms and determine if there's fluid buildup in the pericardium.
It could take up to 60 years for asbestos fibers to reach the tissue of the heart and cause cancerous cells to develop. It is vital that anyone with mesothelioma symptoms see a doctor as soon as possible because of the long time of latency. It is also important to be candid about any previous exposure to asbestos so they can ensure they receive the most effective treatment possible.
Pericardial mesothelioma is among the rarest forms of mesothelioma and is responsible for less than 1% of all mesothelioma cases that are diagnosed. This is mainly due to the difficulty in identifying this condition as it can mimic other heart diseases or symptoms.
The first stage in the diagnosis process is a physical examination by an experienced physician who listens to a patient's breathing and heartbeat. The doctor can also request an CT or MRI scan of the chest to look for tumors and areas of swelling. If they spot fluid buildup in the pericardium, they'll likely require an echocardiogram in order to check how well the heart is working and to determine if there is any lining that is thickening.
Once the doctor has determined that there is a fluid buildup or a tumor in the pericardium they will perform an examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine if the tumor is malignant. During a biopsy doctors take small pieces of fluid or tissue and send them to a lab for further testing.
Because pericardial mesothelioma has a smaller range of treatments than other types, many sufferers will not recover from the cancer. New treatment methods are being researched to provide better outcomes for patients. Gene therapy is one of these methods.
