Diagnosis of the condition is a necessary precursor to claiming mesothelioma compensation. One method through which this is done is a biopsy.
The procedure is common to many conditions, and basically consists of extracting a small amount of suspicious tissue from the body. However, while skin conditions provide easy access to the body tissue that a medical professional is suspicious of, the asbestos cancer affects the lungs, making things a little more difficult.
This means that there must be ways of getting into the lung to extricate the tissue sample that the specialist needs. One way is to go through the chest, using a biopsy needle - a local anaesthetic is very likely to be given in this case. Alternatively, a camera mounted on a flexible probe may be used so that a doctor can be sure he or she has approached the right area. This is known as an endoscopy.
While these approaches take only a small amount of tissue for tests, some circumstances may call for an excisional biopsy instead. In this procedure, surgeons will aim to remove the whole area affected by the suspected asbestos cancer. As it sounds, this procedure may carry more risks than the needle biopsy in many conditions, but a medical professional's analysis of the whole situation may decide that the risks of not using this procedure outweigh those of doing so.
Once the tissue sample has been taken through a biopsy, it will undergo tests to determine a final diagnosis. This process can take several days.
