Malignant mesothelioma is aggressive cancer that can form in the lungs, heart, abdomen, or testicles.
While mesothelioma is rare, nearly 3,000 cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed each year.
A mesothelioma diagnosis is serious, and the average life expectancy of those suffering is only 12 to 21 months after diagnosis.
Mesothelioma symptoms include pain in the chest, shortness of breath, and overall fatigue.
If you believe that you or a loved one could be suffering from malignant mesothelioma, read on to learn more about the disease, medical treatment, and legal options.
If you or your loved one were exposed to asbestos in your home, at work, or in another public setting, you may be eligible to file a Chicago mesothelioma lawsuit.
Contact an experienced Chicago mesothelioma attorney at TorHoerman Law today.
Chicago residents are most commonly exposed to asbestos at work or at home.
If you were exposed to asbestos at no fault of your own and subsequently developed mesothelioma, you may qualify for a mesothelioma lawsuit.
After being diagnosed, a mesothelioma lawyer in Chicago can win money for you to make up for things like lost time, emotional damage, and hospital bills.
Malignant mesothelioma forms in the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissues that surrounds the internal organs and cavities.
Mesothelioma symptoms typically take up to 10 to 50 years to become apparent, making it difficult to detect early on and to specify the cause.
While researchers are searching for more causes, most cases of mesothelioma have the same origin — asbestos.
Exposure to asbestos, a mineral once popular in commercial and industrial settings, is the only definitive known cause of malignant mesothelioma.
At least 90 percent of mesothelioma cases are tied to breathing in asbestos fibers.
Other factors patients have claimed to have caused mesothelioma are exposure to zeolites, radiation, simian virus 40, and high aspect ratio nanoparticles (HARNs).
Mesothelioma is caused by inhaling tiny asbestos fibers.
The small fibers can become lodged in the linings of the lungs, abdomen, and heart to cause harmful inflammation and changes at the cellular level.
These changes can cause indirect and direct DNA shifts that lead to the development of cancer.
Asbestos is a group of six fibrous, naturally-occurring minerals recognized for their resistance to fire, heat, and electricity.
These properties made it popular for use in commercial, industrial, and consumer settings.
Asbestos use has declined over the last few decades, but the minerals still remain in many settings including old houses, public buildings, and schools.
Asbestos is very hazardous once airborne or disrupted, and it is easy to accidentally ingest or inhale the small fibers.
Several federal agencies including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have strict laws in place to prevent exposure to and limit asbestos use.
Exposure to asbestos is most common in occupational spaces, but it can also come from secondary exposure in:
Occupational areas commonly linked to asbestos include:
Secondhand exposure can also come when family members are in contact with materials and clothing covered in small asbestos fibers.
Asbestos has also been discovered in common household items including paint, talcum powders, and potting soil.
If you believe that you have been exposed to asbestos, you should contact a Chicago mesothelioma lawyer right away – especially if you are still currently exposed or believe that other individuals may be exposed.
The most common cause of mesothelioma occurs when a person inhales asbestos fibers that embed themselves into the lungs, heart, or abdomen.
This leads to harmful inflammation that eventually develops into mesothelioma tumors.
There are three (3) common cancers caused by asbestos exposure:
The general consensus among medical professionals is that asbestos exposure can, directly and indirectly, damage DNA.
Asbestos directly interferes with mitosis during cell division, leading to cellular damage and mutation.
Asbestos can indirectly cause mesothelial cells to emit mutagenic reactive nitrogen-oxygen and nitrogen, also causing cellular mutation.
Symptoms of mesothelioma can mirror other common conditions, causing frequent misdiagnosis and diagnosis delays.
Early detection of mesothelioma symptoms is the only way to improve prognosis, and patients diagnosed early can extend their life expectancy.
The common symptoms and signs of mesothelioma include:
Illinois citizens and workers could be at risk of asbestos exposure.
Exposure to asbestos can cause serious health problems including the development of mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancers.
If you live or work in Illinois, it’s important to become familiar with Illinois asbestos exposure and Illinois mesothelioma statistics:
Asbestos exposure is most common in the following Illinois industries:
Citgo Petroleum Illinois, Mobil Oil Illinois, and other oil companies in Illinois used asbestos in refining processes because of the mineral’s heat-resistant qualities.
Nabisco Brands Inc in Marseilles and Kraft Foods, Inc. in Champaign are known to have had asbestos in their manufacturing plants.
The mineral was popular in plants statewide because of its ability to resist extreme heat and many chemical reactions.
Illinois steel mills, like Granite City Steel and Keystone Steel and Wire, often used asbestos insulation to protect mill equipment and employees from potential fires and extreme temperatures.
The insulation kept machines safe while putting mill workers at risk.
Power plants nationwide, including Baldwin Power Plant and Clinton Power Station in Illinois, used asbestos in power plant machinery.
These put workers in danger of asbestos exposure.
Illinois is home to numerous U.S Army bases and arsenals.
Many veterans have been affected by mesothelioma because of the military’s widespread use of asbestos.
Several of the sites on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund List are in Illinois.
These are sites that required government-mandated cleanup due to the presence of asbestos and other environmental toxins:
The Waukegan-based company produced various asbestos-containing products such as insulation, cement, paper, pipe covering, and floor tiles.
The EPA determined the company’s 150-acre site contained significant asbestos levels in the air, soil, and groundwater.
The zinc company’s 160-acre site in La Salle was added to the EPA’s Superfund List in 2003.
The agency found asbestos waste and storage tanks during cleanup as well as various metals that had runoff into the surrounding soil and water.
Asbestos exposure has been documented in the following Illinois cities:
Chicago mesothelioma patients have access to quality treatment in the Greater Chicago area.
Mesothelioma treatment options include surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Quality mesothelioma treatment is available at the following cancer centers:
