Frequently Asked Mesothelioma Questions

How does Asbestos lead to Mesothelioma?

Small asbestos fibers can be easily inhaled by workers. Inflammation occurs when the body attempts to break down and eliminate these particles from the lungs.

The particles can reach the smallest and most distant parts of the lungs. These fibers cannot be removed by coughing unless they attach to mucus in the air passages. They can also remain in the tissue around the chest or stomach cavity, where they cause inflammation and lead to mesothelioma.

Asbestos particles can damage the lungs by forming scar tissue. Those who have been exposed to asbestos have a seven times greater risk for developing lung cancer than those who have not been exposed. The three causes of death for those with significant asbestos exposure are mesothelioma, lung cancer and lung scarring, referred to as asbestosis.
