Go direct to a specialist - best to avoid intermediaries

What is mesothelioma?
This is a malignant condition of the pleura. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, chest pain and weight loss, and there is often a pleural effusion apparent on chest x-rays. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by a biopsy of the pleura with immunohistochemistry staining. Mesothelioma can be caused by minimal asbestos exposure, and the latency period between exposure and symptoms is on average 30 to 40 years.
What is asbestosis?
This is a type of fibrosis affecting the lung. Asbestosis can cause breathlessness and a cough. It is usually caused by relatively heavy asbestos exposure. Asbestosis and pleural plaques or thickening may occur together. There are differing degrees of asbestosis. The disease can degenerate although this is not inevitable.
What are pleural plaques?
These are areas of inflammation which affect the pleura. Minor asbestos exposure can still result in pleural plaques. Plaques do not generally cause pain or breathlessness and can be asymptomatic although their presence can cause anxiety.
What is pleural thickening?
These are similar to pleural plaques but they affect more of the pleura. Pleural thickening may cause breathlessness and/or chest tightness. It is normally caused by heavy asbestos-exposure.
What is asbestos-related lung cancer?
Lung tumours are normally seen in those who have been heavily exposed to asbestos dust and who may be heavy smokers as well. The symptoms are: prolonged period of coughing, occasionally blood in the sputum, lack of appetite and weight loss.
