FAQ
Below are a some common questions that are asked about Asbestos exposure and Mesothelioma cancer.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma, commonly known as asbestos cancer, is a rare form of cancer that is the result of exposure to asbestos, a fibrous material that was used in thousands of products until the 1980s. THE ONLY KNOWN CAUSE OF MESOTHELIOMA IS EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS. Mesothelioma typically develops in the lungs or abdomen. There are over 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma diagnosed in the United States each year. Due to the rare nature of the disease, it is important to find a law firm that has experience handling these complex cases.
What is the cause of Mesothelioma?
Simply put, asbestos causes Mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer where tumors form in the lining of the lungs (pleura), abdomen (peritoneum), or heart (pericardium). Cancer tumors like mesothelioma tend to form when cell DNA is damaged. This is the same DNA that makes up our genes and is passed from our parents. It also gives instructions to the cell on what to do. More specifically, how to grow, divide into new cells, and then die. When the DNA in cells is damaged, cells are unable to live out their normal processes. The potential outcome being that cells divide rapidly and without the direction to go through cell death. This process can eventually cause cancer.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a fibrous, durable, heat-resistant mineral that was widely used in every branch of the military throughout the 20th century. In the early 1980s, researchers finally confirmed inhaling or ingesting these tiny microscopic fibers causes mesothelioma. If you served in the military, you were likely exposed to asbestos and may have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma.
How are People Exposed to Asbestos?
Asbestos was initially known for its sturdy properties. Its resistance to fire, electricity, and chemical corrosion made it a staple in many construction projects and materials. The toxin is still being found in work areas, military sites, homes, and industrial items today.
