For mesothelioma, people who have a history of asbestos exposure may be recommended to undergo regular imaging tests like Chest X-rays and Computed Tomography (CT) Scans. However, it is not yet clear how well these tests work for early detection. Blood tests also look for elevated levels of fibulin-3 and soluble mesothelioma-related peptides (SMRPs), but these tests are still undergoing further research.
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer, and like all rare cancers, there isn’t a standard screening process for early detection, unlike cancers like breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. The key to finding mesothelioma early is determining if someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past.
Mesothelioma has a long latency period of 10 years to 50 years, which means that symptoms do not develop until much later. Therefore, regular monitoring is the prudent move for people who have a history of exposure, such as those with at-risk occupations.

If you or a loved one have experienced any of these, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
