Mesothelioma victims and their families often require compensation to cover medical expenses and lost wages. A mesothelioma lawyer can help you determine your best legal strategy.
The majority of mesothelioma cases are filed as personal injury or lawsuits for wrongful death. A mesothelioma lawyer will examine your case and gather evidence to start the lawsuit.
Diagnosis
Your doctor will conduct a physical examination to diagnose mesothelioma. They will inquire about any signs or symptoms and previous exposure to asbestos. They will also determine if you have a common illness, like pneumonia, prior to examining your body for symptoms of cancer.
If your doctor suspects that you have mesothelioma, they will request imaging scans on your chest and abdomen. These tests employ x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to capture images of your internal organs. These scans can reveal fluid buildup in the abdomen or lungs (ascites). They can also be used to find mesothelioma cancers and determine whether they are growing.
These tests can reveal several possible signs of mesothelioma. However, the only method to confirm a diagnosis is to take tissue samples and analyze them under a microscope. This is referred to as biopsy. A pathologist is a doctor who is specialized in interpreting tests in the laboratory and evaluating organs, tissues and cells to diagnose diseases.
Mesothelioma cancer is most often found in the chest's lining or abdominal cavity, however it can also develop inside the heart. Pericardial mesothelioma is a name that it is given when it grows inside the heart. These tumors are difficult to identify and are more frequent than pleural mesothelioma.
Doctors might use needles to take a small amount of fluid from the area in which fluid has accumulated. They will analyze the fluid for cells of mesothelioma and examine a piece from your lungs to look for tumors.
They may also request blood chemistry tests to see how your liver, kidneys and thyroid are working. One specific test they could perform is a lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) test. LDH levels that are higher than normal can indicate cell damage, which could indicate mesothelioma.
Treatment
The kind of treatment you get depends on the stage and cell mesothelioma type you have. Pleural mesothelioma can affect the lung's lining and chest wall, whereas mesothelioma in the peritoneal region is found in the lining of the abdomen. Most patients who suffer from pleural mesothelioma last between 19 and 21 months after diagnosis, whereas those with late-stage peritoneal mesothelioma live 12 to 16 months.
The doctor who treats you will conduct an medical history and then examine your body to look for signs of mesothelioma. These include the amount of fluid present in your abdomen or chest. A physical exam may also be done to see whether the cancer has expanded. Other tests include chest x-ray or CT scan to check for the area of the tumor and any indication that it has invaded the heart. A biopsy is required to confirm a diagnosis of mesothelioma. A surgeon can collect an x-ray of the affected tissue for testing using either VATS (video-assisted surgical thoracoscopic procedure) which is a keyhole surgery, or a needle-guided, sterile biopsy under local anaesthetic in which a small piece of tissue is removed with an instrument guided by an CT scan.
The best treatment for mesothelioma can be determined by imaging and blood tests. Tests can look for certain blood-borne chemicals that are associated with mesothelioma tumor cells, aswell as how fast your cancer is growing. They can also help determine if you're a good candidate for chemotherapy, which is often used in combination with radiation therapy or surgery.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other forms of radiation to kill mesothelioma cells and shrink tumors. This is typically done in combination with chemotherapy and can be given externally or internally. The cancer doctors inject a radioactive substance in the form of seeds, needles or wires around the mesothelioma.
The chemotherapy drugs used to treat mesothelioma come with many adverse effects. They can cause nausea and vomiting and hair loss. You might also feel tired, increase your chances of contracting infections and decrease the amount of healthy cells in your body. Consult your physician about any possible adverse effects.
Clinical trials
Scientists are always looking for new ways to diagnose and treat mesothelioma. Clinical trials enable doctors to test new treatments that could be more effective than the treatments they currently use. The goal is to improve the odds of survival and to find cures.
Doctors are also studying new treatment methods like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. Combining these treatments offers patients more options. Many mesothelioma patients participate in clinical trials, particularly when conventional treatments do not help them.
Clinical trials can last months, weeks or even years. Participants are given an experimental medication or therapy and supervised closely by experts. The majority of drugs must pass various stages of clinical trials before the FDA approves their use for general use.
Certain studies are testing new forms of chemotherapy. The most recent drugs are designed to target specific genetic pathways within cancer cells. The results of these studies may help researchers discover better treatments for mesothelioma and various types of cancers.
Researchers are also investigating ways to prevent mesothelioma. Studies of at-risk populations are examining whether lifestyle changes or certain medications may reduce the risk of developing mesothelioma and other forms of cancer. Certain trials are looking at ways to detect mesothelioma earlier in patients.
Doctors are also researching surgery and other surgical treatments to treat mesothelioma. There are a variety of surgical procedures that can be used to treat mesothelioma. These include extrapleural pneumonectomy (which removes the affected lung, pleura and chest wall), pleurectomy with diaphragmatic decortication (which removes the lungs and a portion of the chest wall) and trimodality therapy that includes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
Some doctors are also researching the effectiveness of immunotherapy for mesothelioma. This kind of treatment involves injecting a mesothelioma sufferer with an anti-inflammatory drug which targets cancerous cells. Immunotherapy is a treatment that can be utilized to treat advanced pleural cancers and to improve the chances of survival. It is also being studied as an option to treat first-line patients with the peritoneal cancer. A controlled study randomized to the mesothelioma-specific immunotherapy drug tremelimuma is currently in progress. Participants are compared with those who were given a placebo. Tremelimumab treated patients have an overall survival rate that is higher than those who received a placebo.
Settlements
The majority of mesothelioma cases are settled out of court. It is important to prepare for trial and to have a seasoned mesothelioma lawyer by your side.
A mesothelioma suit is designed to compensate victims for the losses they have suffered due to this disease. Compensation can cover past and future medical expenses as well as lost wages, travel expenses to seek treatment, and more. In some instances the settlement may also include non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain, or the loss of companionship.
Mesothelioma requires long-term treatment. This can lead to large medical bills and the financial burden that is caused by not being able to work can make it hard to cover the essential expenses. A settlement or another award could ease the burden by allowing patients to focus on their recovery.
A successful mesothelioma suit can assist in holding asbestos manufacturers accountable and make them be accountable for their actions. They knew their products were dangerous, but they continued to prioritize profit over safety. Mesothelioma lawsuits are a way victims and their families can seek justice against the companies responsible for their mesothelioma.
The number of defendants in a mesothelioma or wrongful death lawsuit, and the availability of funds will determine the amount of compensation that is given. The mesothelioma attorneys at Baron & Budd know how to create strong cases that are more likely to result in a favorable settlement or verdict.
