Mesothelioma is an extremely rare form of cancer – it is so rare that it is only diagnosed about 2,500 times per year in the United States. Despite its being seen so infrequently, we know a lot about it, particularly the fact that it is caused by exposure to asbestos. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and want to learn more about it, we can provide you with all the information you need.
Mesothelioma is a Cancer in the Lining of Your Organs
Most of the body's organs are lined with a membrane that allows them to move freely – this membrane is called the mesothelium. When you ingest or inhale asbestos fibers, they can get embedded in the cells of the mesothelium of your lungs, your heart or your abdominal organs. The asbestos causes a chain reaction that kills cells and causes others to mutate, eventually growing into tumors.
