Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is unique to those who have been exposed to asbestos. Those most at risk of developing mesothelioma are people who have worked with or around asbestos or products containing it, and family members and housewives that have laundered work clothes or visited worksites. People who live near industrial plants where asbestos was used are also at risk.
There is no known "safe" level of exposure to asbestos, as both long-term exposure to low levels of asbestos and short-term contact with high levels of asbestos can cause harm. Because many older buildings contain asbestos in their ceiling material, walls, or flooring, people who live, work, or attend school in such buildings for a long period of time may also be exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos.
If you have directly or indirectly been exposed to asbestos, you should seek a medical evaluation immediately to determine if you have developed mesothelioma. If you have received a positive diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer and are a resident of Pennsylvania or New Jersey, a mesothelioma and lung cancer attorney from our firm will work relentlessly to achieve the compensation you deserve.
Types of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a cancer that manifests in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a two-layer membrane that surrounds and protects the body's internal organs. A lubricating fluid is secreted between the two layers so that internal organs such as the heart and lungs can move easily within the body. It is theorized that when needle-like asbestos fibers lodge in the mesothelium, they irritate cells and cause them to become cancerous, resulting in mesothelioma. There are three specific types of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, and pericardial mesothelioma, all of which are explained below:
Pleural Mesothelioma
The mesothelium that lines the inner rib cage and the outside of the lungs is known as the pleura. When asbestos is inhaled, the tiny fibers travel to the pleura and cause the cells to become cancerous. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the cancer. Symptoms can take 10 to 50 years to become evident, so diagnosis is often made during a routine exam when no symptoms are present. Symptoms, when they do appear, include chest pains, breathing difficulties, lower-back pain, fever, and persistent cough.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
When a tumor develops on the mesothelial membrane that surrounds the internal organs of the abdomen, it is known as peritoneal mesothelioma. The only known cause of this type of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. Like pleural mesothelioma, symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma can take decades to manifest, and detection often comes during an exam for an unrelated condition. As the tumor develops, it can put pressure on other internal organs, including the lungs, and can cause extreme abdominal pain. Other symptoms include weight loss, nausea, fatigue, abdominal bloating, and fever.
Pericardial Mesothelioma
Pericardial mesothelioma attacks the mesothelium surrounding the heart. It is the rarest form of mesothelioma, occurring in about 5 percent of cases. Asbestos fibers travel from the lungs to the mesothelial tissue that surrounds the heart, where they lodge and cause cancerous tumors to form. As the tumors expand, they can restrict functioning of the heart and cause cardiac problems, including cardiac failure. Symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma include irregular heartbeat, chest pain, loss of appetite, hypertension, and fatigue.
Because mesothelioma symptoms take so long to appear, often by the time the disease is diagnosed, the prognosis for the patient is not good. However, when mesothelioma is caught in time, treatment options do exist. If you have had prolonged exposure to asbestos in the past, or have worked in a trade at risk for asbestos exposure in which you had contact with asbestos-containing products, we urge you to seek a physical exam immediately and report your asbestos exposure to your physician.
Asbestos Lung Cancer
In addition to mesothelioma, asbestos exposure can also cause lung cancer. Inhaled asbestos fibers cannot be eliminated by the body, and so they remain in the lungs. Smokers who have been exposed to asbestos may be up to 90 times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers.
The majority of asbestos lung cancer cases begin in the lining of the main bronchial tubes, however, this type of cancer can also start in the trachea (wind pipe), smaller airways (bronchioles), and even the air sacs within the lungs called the alveoli. Much like mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer develops slowly and cells have the potential to spread to other areas of the body.

History of Asbestos Regulation
Beginning in the early 1970s, decades after public health officials first became aware of the dangers of asbestos, United States health agencies began to issue safety standards and regulations against the dangerous yet pervasive fiber. In 1979, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of intent to regulate asbestos. It appeared an asbestos ban would be imminent. However, lobbyists pressured the government and in 1984, the issue of asbestos exposure was transferred to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). No significant action to limit asbestos exposure, which is a known cause of lung cancer and mesothelioma, has been made since 1982.
In 1989, the EPA again announced its intention to ban asbestos products, completing a 10-year, 100,000-page study. The intended plan would have affected 94 percent of all asbestos consumption, targeting manufacturing, processing, import, and distribution. The EPA concluded that “asbestos is a human carcinogen and is one of the most hazardous substances to which humans are exposed to in both occupational and non-occupational settings.” The ban met fierce opposition. The EPA’s ban was overturned in federal court, despite the courts acknowledgement that asbestos is “a potential carcinogen at all levels of exposure,” citing the EPA failed to present “substantial evidence” to justify the ban. Since the ban’s failure, the EPA has not appealed the decision and products containing asbestos are still manufactured in the United States today.
If you or a loved one in Pennsylvania or New Jersey has been exposed to asbestos, contact an attorney at LT PEPPER LAW. At our offices, a lung cancer or mesothelioma attorney experienced in asbestos litigation can help you pursue financial compensation.

Mesothelioma Treatment Information
Mesothelioma Treatment Information from Our Legal Team
Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. It can take decades to develop, and because symptoms often do not manifest until the latter stages of the disease, diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. Unfortunately, there is presently no cure for mesothelioma. However, treatment can extend the length and quality of a person's life. The earlier treatment is begun, the more effective it usually is at slowing the disease's progression.
Mesothelioma Surgery
Surgery is often used either to remove as much of the malignant tumor as possible, or to provide relief from the symptoms of mesothelioma. Surgery can be extremely risky in some cases, but it is often the only solution available to a patient to relieve pain or prolong life.
Extrapleural Pneumonectomy
The most extensive form of surgery for mesothelioma is called extrapleural pneumonectomy. It involves the removal of the pleura, the diaphragm, the pericardium (the protective lining around the heart), and the lung. The surgery is very complex and can only be performed on certain patients. It is an invasive surgical procedure, and is usually performed in the early stages of mesothelioma, before the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes. The goal is to remove as many cancer cells as possible.
Pleurectomy
A pleurectomy removes the pleural lining of a patient diagnosed with mesothelioma. Pleurectomy is performed to relieve pain and breathing difficulties, and to remove localized disease. A pleurectomy will not cure mesothelioma, but it can help control the disease and prolong life.
Radiation Therapy
There are many different types of radiation therapy that are effective for the treatment of mesothelioma cancer. Radiation therapy must be delivered carefully in order to avoid damaging the lungs, heart, and other nearby organs. The radiation therapy options used to treat mesothelioma include:
* External beam radiation therapy uses an external beam of high-energy X-rays, usually from a linear accelerator or cobalt machine, to target a tumor and destroy cancer cells. Used carefully, external beam radiation therapy spares the normal tissue that surrounds the tumor.
* Brachytherapy is an advanced form of treatment that uses radioactive "seeds" to attack cancerous tissue. The seeds are placed within or near a tumor and positioned for the most effective treatment of cancer cells so exposure of healthy tissue to radiation is reduced.
* Adjuvant radiation therapy describes the use of radiation therapy or chemotherapy after surgery to destroy cancer cells that the surgeon was unable to remove.
* Palliative radiation therapy involves the use of large doses of radiation, often in conjunction with pain and other medication, to relieve the symptoms of mesothelioma. It is intended to provide the patient some degree of comfort rather than increase survival time.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a widely used cancer treatment that works by killing cancer cells as they grow. Chemotherapy usually consists of a combination of cancer-fighting drugs given by injection (although in some cases they may also be given orally). Chemotherapy affects cells throughout the body, including normal cells that grow rapidly such as those found in the mouth, bone marrow, hair follicles, and reproductive organs. Side effects may include nausea, hair loss, bruising, fatigue, and lowered immune system function.
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatments can be as debilitating as mesothelioma itself, preventing a previously productive worker from earning a living. The treatments can also strain the financial limits of most insurance policies. If the patient has no insurance, he or she faces a huge financial burden that will undoubtedly affect family members and others who are financially dependent.
ALIMTA®
ALIMTA®, developed by Eli Lilly, is the first and only chemotherapy drug to receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of pleural mesothelioma in patients for whom surgery is not an option. ALIMTA® is given in cycles along with cisplatin, another chemotherapy drug, to kill cancerous cells in the linings of the lungs. In clinical trials, patients who were administered both ALIMTA® and cisplatin survived longer than patients who were treated with only cisplatin.
Thalidomide
Like ALIMTA, thalidomide is a chemotherapy drug used to treat mesothelioma in patients who, for whatever reason, are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy. When used in conjunction with cisplatin, thalidomide has been shown to stall the growth of cancerous cells in the pleura (protective lung linings) and prevent the spread of the disease. Thalidomide is currently being tested in clinical trials in Australia and other locations but may be widely available if approved.
Thoracentesis
Thoracentesis is a procedure in which fluid is drained through a needle or tube from the space between the lining of the lungs (pleura) and the chest wall. This treatment alleviates many of the symptoms and much of the discomfort of mesothelioma, but its effects are often short-lived – in many cases, the procedure has to be repeated. For some patients, thoracentesis is used as a diagnostic test, measuring the amount of fluid in the chest and the advancement of the disease.
Palliative Care
The purpose of palliative care is to relieve pain and other symptoms of mesothlioma, rather than prolong life. Palliative care addresses ways to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing life-prolonging treatments and patients who are dying. Palliative care treats symptoms and seeks to restore function. Pain management is generally a primary focus of palliative care. Other treatment methods are used to relieve shortness of breath, fatigue, dry mouth, and loss of appetite. Palliative care also focuses on controlling the anxiety and depression that accompany a life-threatening illness.
New and Experimental Mesothelioma Treatments
There are many new and exciting treatment options available for those suffering from mesothelioma. Some patients may choose to participate in clinical trials of experimental medications or techniques to improve their symptoms. Whether or not a new type of treatment is right for you is something you and your doctor will need to decide.
Gene Therapy
Still in its experimental stages, gene therapy is being explored as a potential treatment for mesothelioma. During gene therapy, formulated gene material is injected into the cancerous cells and tumors, essentially killing them. Medical experts and researchers, such as those at the University of Pennsylvania, believe that gene therapy can be safely used in conjunction with other mesothelioma treatments, namely surgery, and are optimistic about its effectiveness. Consult your doctor to learn more about gene therapy.
TomoTherapy HI-ART System®
TomoTherapy Highly Integrated Adaptive Radiotherapy (HI-ART) System® is an advanced radiation method used to target mesothelioma tumors. An onboard CT scanner provides highly accurate targeting of the shape and position of the tumor so that small, powerful radiation beams can be focused to precisely attack the tumor. The accuracy of the TomoTherapy HI-ART System® limits the exposure of healthy tissue to radiation and allows for effective treatment of hard-to-reach tumors.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy uses chemical and pharmaceutical agents to shut down production of the chemicals a tumor produces to promote its growth. The substances most often used in mesothelioma immunotherapy include interleukin-2 and different types of interferon. Immunotherapy has shown promise in laboratory studies, but more studies will need to be performed to prove its efficacy in treating mesothelioma.
Heat Therapy
Heat therapy, or hyperthermic chemotherapy, involves the heating of chemotherapy agents to improve their effectiveness. Heating the chemicals increases the susceptibility of the mesothelioma cancer cells to the drugs' toxic effects. Chemicals such as cisplatin or doxorubicin are heated to as high as 109 degrees Fahrenheit and injected.
Photodynamic Therapy
In photodynamic therapy for mesothelioma, light-sensitive molecules are injected into the pleural space, where they are absorbed by mesothelioma cancer cells. Then the tumors are targeted with intense light beams, which kill the tumor cells that have taken up the light-sensitive molecules. Photodynamic therapy has shown some promise in patients with small malignant mesothelioma tumors.
