Lung cancer as a consequence of asbestos exposure could be considered as one of asbestos disaster, since this mineral is more likely to generate problems than solve them. It maybe has different pros, but it is also a high risk factor to get a painful disease. Lung cancer causes up to 3 million deaths per year, becoming the most lethal malignant tumour of the lungs worldwide. The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, but inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers double fold this possibilities, and many asbestos workers carry these asbestos particles in their clothes into their houses and this one could affect their families too. According to current research, asbestos workers should not smoke, (so a smoking cessation treatment is pretty important), because this practice increases their possibility of getting ill of lung cancer or other asbestos-related disease. (Malignant mesothelioma lung cancer for instance). The worst thing is that these pathologies may appear 30 or 40 years after have been exposed to the malignant fibers of the mineral.

Lung cancer symptoms are chronic cough and hoarseness, wheezing, chest pain, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, dysphonia, coughing up blood and shortness of breath. That is why it is so important to visit the doctor if you have the symptoms above mentioned. A specialist doctor will be always better than a general doctor.
Asbestos workers have a higher risk for developing lung cancer if they don't follow the corresponding recommendations at their workplace in order to reduce that risk. Hence some uses of asbestos are banned in many countries, since it is known that the inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause terrible diseases among human beings.

Certainly if you have been affected for this disease you could claim an asbestos compensation, in this case you must a specialist lawyer for advises in this subjects.

Lung Cancer Mesothelioma: Slowly Spreading Its Tentacles by Kirsten Hawkins

Lung cancer mesothelioma is the common name for malignant mesothelioma, a rare cancer that is not very responsive to therapy. Lung cancer mesothelioma is the deadliest of all asbestos related diseases. Medically speaking, lung cancer mesothelioma is misnomer. Mesothelioma is not a cancer of the lungs; it generally affects the lining of the lungs.

Mesothelial cells are special cells found in cavities of certain internal organs. They form a covering tissue surrounding most of the vital organs. This tissue is known as pleura, peritoneum and pericardium and surrounds lungs, abdomen and heart respectively. This tissue produces a lubricant that allows the internal organs to move effectively. For example, it helps the lungs to move around in the chest during breathing. Lung cancer mesothelioma is the name given to cancer of the lining of the lungs. It is the most common of mesothelioma cancers and is known as pleural mesothelioma.

Mesothelium tumors can be cancerous as well as non-cancerous. However, most mesothelial tumors are cancerous. The malignant mesothelioma referred to as "mesothelioma". About 75% mesothelioma tumors start in the chest cavity (pleural mesothelioma). About 10% to 20% occur in the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma). Pericardial mesothelioma is a rare disease and even rare is the incidence of mesothelioma in the lining surrounding the testicles.

Mesothelioma cancer was first recognized as a tumor of the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium in the late 1700s. It was only in the 1960s that could this tumor be connected to exposure to asbestos and be described with detail. The first person to do so was J. C. Wagner, who cited examples from the "Asbestos Hills" in South Africa and provided sufficient evidences to establish a link to mesothelioma cancer of the lung cavity to asbestos exposure. Further studies have confirmed the relationship between asbestos and the incidences of mesothelioma cancers.
Mesothelioma cancers were a rarity in the United States. There were only 14 cases recorded per million people in a year. However, the number has tripled between 1970 and 1984 particularly among the males working in areas of asbestos production and shipbuilding facilities. Mesothelioma cancers are Mostly found in sexagenarian males and in some cases, it has also been discovered in women and children.
