Houston Mesothelioma Lawyer

The symptoms of mesothelioma can remain latent for 20 years or more. When these symptoms do arise, they can vary according to the:

• The type of mesothelioma that exists
• The stage of the condition
• Whether the condition has spread (metastasized).

Generally, however, chest pain, fever, fatigue, and chronic coughing are among the more common symptoms of mesothelioma. For those who have a history of asbestos exposure, it is important to be familiar with these symptoms – and to seek immediate medical attention if they do arise.

Diagnosing mesothelioma can be an involved process that may include:

• Assessing the history of asbestos exposure
• Ruling out other conditions
• Performing a series of imaging tests
• Conducting blood tests
• Performing biopsies.

In most cases, mesothelioma is diagnosed in stage 3, when symptoms tend to be more serious, prominent, and debilitating.

For all mesothelioma patients, the earlier the condition is accurately diagnosed, the earlier appropriate treatment can begin – and the better the prognosis will likely be. Tragically, however, it is not uncommon for mesothelioma to be misdiagnosed, particularly in earlier stages of the condition.

Staging mesothelioma involves determining the severity of the condition and whether the tumor(s) have metastasized. While stage 1 refers to the least severe form of mesothelioma, stage 4 is reserved for the most severe and life-threatening cases.

Mesothelioma staging is a key part of the diagnostic process. It is also central to determining the best treatment options for a particular patient.

The best course of treatment for mesothelioma will depend on the severity and nature of the condition, as well as a patient’s overall health. Generally, surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy are the standard options for treating mesothelioma.

These can be used in conjunction with other treatment options, such as:

• Palliative care to mitigate symptoms and improve quality of life
• Clinical trials to try out new, experimental treatment options
• Alternative treatments to provide emotional and/or physical relief from the impacts of mesothelioma.

When it is time to pursue a mesothelioma claim, the source of asbestos exposure will be a key factor in determining the legal options available to a patient – or to a family who has lost a loved one to mesothelioma.

In general, mesothelioma claims can be personal injury claims and/or workers’ compensation claims, which may be resolved in or outside of court. In some cases, patients and families may have more than one available legal remedy for seeking mesothelioma compensation.
