About Mesothelioma

What is mesothelioma?: Most people have—fortunately—never heard of this rare cancer; this quick primer to get you up to speed.
Malignant Mesothelioma: The most serious of all asbestos-related diseases, malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the sac-like membrane lining of the chest (pleura), abdomen (peritoneum), heart (pericardium, or reproductive organs; virtually all cases of malignant mesothelioma are attributable to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos: Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used all over the world in a huge range of applications since its first discovery. Its chief physical properties are its durability and resistance to heat and combustion.
Asbestos Exposure: Because asbestos is an extremely fibrous mineral, working with it can quickly generate many small fibers. When these lightweight fibers are inhaled or ingested, serious health problems can result such as asbestosis or mesothelioma.
Risk Factors: Did your job put your health at risk? Did it put your family's health ar risk? Most people who are today suffering from mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases were exposed on the job. Worse, these companies and manufacturers knew there were serious risks but did not adequately protect their employees.
