What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, a fibrous mineral-based material once used for a number of applications such as fireproofing and insulating. People who have been exposed to asbestos, either in the workplace or home, are sometimes unaware of exposure due to the disease's potentially long latency period. While mesothelioma may present itself in as little as a month, often signs do not appear for up to 40 years. Therefore, people who were exposed to asbestos from the 1940s to the 1970s are just now being diagnosed with this form of cancer.

Mesothelioma’s malignant cancer cells occur in three specific areas:

Pleural (the sac lining the chest)
Peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity)
Pericardium (the lining around the heart)

Pleural mesothelioma, cancer affecting the lungs, is considered the most common form of the disease, followed by peritoneal mesothelioma, which impacts the abdominal cavity.
