Mesothelioma is one among the most deadly diseases of all time to have been discovered by mankind. Medically, Mesothelioma as a word itself means a tumor that is more likely to metamorphose in a fast proliferating cancer which affects the mesothelial cells of an organ, which form the protective thin covering over the organs like heart, lungs and abdominal cavity. Whatever is the verbal definition given out to this deathly disease, but those can never certainly weigh the deadliness of this fatal disease.
Mesothelioma is an absolutely fatal disease which has claimed many people into its lethal grip. The uttermost period of survival after the disease has been diagnosed, is a year or two. It is worst form of cancer which is not curable. Nevertheless, modern studies have recommended that whenever the disease is diagnosed at a very early stage then the life of the person who gets affected by this deathly disease, can be stretched to at most 5 years. The treating this disease is very expensive and the treatment does not ensure life but only a few more days, to procure the huge lump-sum called for as the treatment, people also file lawsuits to cover the huge incurring expenses for the treatment .
The main cause of mesothelioma has been discovered to be prolonged exposure to asbestos. Most of the patients that have been diagnosed with the disease, had acquired the disease cause of prolonged exposure to asbestos. The statistics of the mesothelioma patients has revealed the connection between the asbestos and the dangerous cancer syndrome and typically this disease is found to affect people and workers who work in industries. Usually, industries use asbestos as an imperative input for carrying on different processes; it is being used in factories, automobile, shipyard and building. Direct exposure to loose asbestos fibers can acquire the symptoms of mesothelioma, but the infected cells can remain dormant in the body for a long period of about 15-20 years.
The worst form of the disease is the one that is detected in older people i.e. at the age of 50-60 years and also mostly in it's last stages. This reduces the chances of the individual's recovery. It is therefore very necessary that people who are likely to take in large doses of asbestos particles should be scanned regularly for any symptoms of Mesothelioma. Several Government policies empower Mesothelioma patients to claim for compensation. They can file lawsuits with the help of their attorneys for claiming such compensation. The Mesothelioma victims can sue the company in which they worked with for not undertaking any steps to slacken the use of asbestos or for not using it in a more protective way which results in endangering the lives of the employees.
