Mesothelioma
Until the 1970s, asbestos was widely used as a construction material because of its durability and flame retardant qualities. Unfortunately, asbestos particles are highly dangerous and they have been found to cause a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma can be treated, but it usually cannot be cured. If you or someone you love has developed mesothelioma from prolonged exposure to asbestos, contact the legal class action lawyers of Feazell & Tighe, LLP, today at 877-508-0588.
Effects of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a painful form of cancer that attacks the mesothelium, which is the protective lining that covers internal organs. Because of the areas this cancer affects, the prognosis for mesothelioma is usually grim. Individuals can treat the cancer, but this will not cure the problem in most cases.
Individuals with mesothelioma may suffer:
- Significant weight loss
- Fluid in the chest
- Chest pains
Treatment for mesothelioma may include radiation therapy, medication, or surgery. These treatment options are more effective at curbing the pain mesothelioma causes rather than curing the cancer.
Many individuals developed mesothelioma because they worked in industries that used asbestos or came in constant contact with it in other ways. Individuals who have developed mesothelioma in this way may be entitled to financial compensation for the harm they have suffered.
