Free Medical video Prevention of methothelioma
What can be done to prevent the disease? Since the 1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have regulated the asbestos industry in the U.S. In the past, asbestos was used as a fire retardant and an insulator. Other products are now used in its place. The controversy involving exposure to different forms of asbestos continues. There are two major types of asbestos: chrysotile and amphibole. It is thought that exposure to the amphibole form is more likely to cause mesothelioma. However, chrysotile has been used more frequently, hence many mesotheliomas are caused by chrysotile. Removal is taking place in schools and other public buildings throughout the U.S. The hope is that these measures will greatly reduce the occurrence of this
cancer. What are the long-term effects of the disease? A mesothelioma is a
highly aggressive tumor that is generally deadly. Current treatment of malignant
mesothelioma is designed to make the person with cancer comfortable. Although
long-term survival cannot usually be expected, the case of famed paleontologist
Stephen Jay Gould is a noted exception. What are the risks to others?
Mesothelioma is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another.
The exposure to the asbestos that caused the cancer occurred many years to
several decades before the disease appeared. People who live with asbestos
workers have a higher risk of getting this cancer. What happens once treatment
is over? Although mesothelioma is very unpleasant it's still important for
person after treatment is over to keep up all follow-up appointments and that's
vital because further testing is always needed to check whether cancer is coming
back or to examine possible side effects that could be rather unpleasant and
what's even worse permanent. |
