What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer that has recently become a concern amongst many people as the dangers of asbestos and its wide-spread use before the late 1970's become more well-known.

Mesothelioma is a Form of Cancer Caused by Exposure to Asbestos

The first thing to realize about Mesothelioma is that it is a malignant cancer caused usually by exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing materials. The symptoms of Mesothelioma often do not show up until years after the asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma is a Malignant Cancer that Affects the Heart, Lungs and Stomach

Mesothelioma is a malignant cancer that affects the linings of the heart, lungs and stomach. The symptoms experienced will therefore differ depending on the organ affected. Peritoneal Mesothelioma (Mesothelioma of the stomach) leads to loss of appetite, pain in the abdomen and problems with bowel functioning. Pleural Mesothelioma on the other hand affects the lungs and chest pain, difficulty breathing, and coughing up blood. All Mesothelioma is malignant and will often lead to death.
