Mesothelioma is a rare cancer primarily caused by exposure to asbestos. Because of this, malignant mesothelioma can also be referred to as asbestos cancer or “meso.”

Asbestos is a naturally occurring carcinogenic mineral that is naturally resistant to heat, fire and erosion. Along with these properties, asbestos was once widely available and very affordable and therefore used in many construction and industrial materials. Occupationally, environmentally, or by second hand exposure, millions of people have come into contact with asbestos.

Asbestos can cause mesothelioma when fibers become airborne and are inhaled or ingested into the body. Once the fibers enter the body, they can become lodges in the protective sacs surrounding the lungs, heart or abdomen. Ten to forty years later, they cause tumors to form in the mesothelium, or lining of the sacs.

Prognosis is poor and many do not live past a year after diagnosis, especially if the disease is extensive.  Read more...
