Symptoms from asbestos can take decades to surface, so those affected often do not receive the proper diagnosis until the cancer is far advanced. Those between the ages of 50 and 70 are most commonly diagnosed with mesothelioma. Some mesothelioma treatments do exist, but there is no cure for this type of cancer. These treatment options are more successful for an early mesothelioma diagnosis. Doctors often struggle to make the correct diagnosis, as the symptoms of mesothelioma are shared with a number of other illnesses. Patients who receive a mesothelioma diagnosis usually survive between one and five years. Common symptoms can include the following:
- Cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing
- Swelling of the neck, face or abdomen
- Weight loss, fever, anemia
Victims or surviving family members of a fatality due to asbestos poisoning may be eligible for compensation for loss of earnings, medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.
