Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. In short, it is a tumor affecting the mesothelial cells, which affects the heard, lungs, or abdominal organs. The most common cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, though other factors may contribute or cause mesothelioma. Whatever the cause, mesothelioma is still a painful, deadly, non-curable disease.
Asbestos, a naturally occuring fibrous material, has been shown to cause rare forms of lung cancer which may result in a painful death. Asbestos was used for insulation and fireproofing in buildings and other products due to the material's high-level of resistance to heat. Many who worked, lived, or spent time in places with asbestos may be at risk of developing this deadly disease. Those with the highest risk of exposure include who worked in industries, buildings, or facilities where asbestos was installed, manufactured, or otherwise used.
The most common type of mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma. This type affects the pleura, which is a thin membrane between the lungs and the chest cavity. Peritoneal mesothelioma, another form ofmesothelioma, affects the peritoneum membrane of the abdomen. These tumors can also be found in the stomach and abdominal organs. These are only two of the many types of mesothelioma discovered throughout the world.
