How to find doctors and cancer centers specialized in mesothelioma

March 27, 2010 · Filed Under announcement · Comment 

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. A latency period of 20 to 50 years or more may elapse between the initial exposure to the product and development of the disease. Those working in demolition squads that pull down old buildings are most at risk. However, cases have also been reported from people with very little occupational exposure. A summer job at a construction site or wives and children of persons working with asbestos are some such. So many buildings have some component of asbestos that it remains a problem even many years after a ban on the products have been put in place.

Asbestos Fibers

Doctors who specialize in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma are the best persons to consult in the event of mesothelioma diagnosis or even if there is a lurking doubt about it. An interdisciplinary team of mesothelioma doctors comprising oncologists, thoracic surgeons, and pulmonologists generally treat the patient by joint consultation. You can find them on the clinics’ websites, the associated university’s site, most of them being involved in important projects and clinical trials, or you can find them here, where there is a list of comprehensive doctors all around US who treat this horrible disease.

In the following there are some asbestos mesothelioma symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness
  • A persistent cough that gets worse over time
  • Blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up from the lungs
  • Pain or tightening in the chest
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Swelling of the neck or face
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue or anemia

Voting for Team Philippines can also bring great benefits to you because TAT is giving 2 voters a $2,500 Thailand tour package and HTC phone. If they win this competition, they will donate a $900 kariton for CNN Efren Penaflorida’s group, to bless street children.
