Aside from mesothelioma, asbestos exposure can cause different types of lung cancers. The same inflammatory process that causes asbestosis can also cause cancer cells to develop in the lungs. Smokers and former smokers are at an extremely high risk of developing this type of cancer.
The most common type of lung cancer caused by asbestos is adenocarcinoma. This most often begins in cells that line internal organs and those that have gland-like properties.
If you believe asbestos exposure has contributed to a recent diagnosis of yourself or a loved one, a mesothelioma attorney at The Barnes Firm can help. Contact us for a FREE consultation.
The first symptoms patients notice usually include a cough, which can sometimes contain blood. Anyone who experiences this symptom should immediately consult with their physician. As time passes, other symptoms like chronic cough, chest pain, weight loss and persistent tiredness can also develop.
Treatments
There are several treatments that can improve the quality of life for an individual, and each option should be considered under the advisement of your doctor. Treatments can include:
Lung cancer and mesothelioma are two completely different diseases. Lung cancer can only occur in the lungs, and it usually develops individual tumor masses. Mesothelioma, on the other hand, impacts the tissues surrounding the lungs.
The treatment methods of lung cancer and mesothelioma can also be different. When doctors and surgeons treat mesothelioma, their goal is to ease pain and discomfort placed on the patient. Treatments for lung cancer focus on stopping the progression of cancer cells.
Each treatment method should be discussed in detail with your doctors and family members.
