What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer which affects the pleura, the lining of the lungs. It can also affect the pericardium, the fluid-filled sac which surrounds the heart, and the peritoneum, the lining of the abdomen. An estimated 3000 cases of this distressing disease are diagnosed each year in the United States alone.

There is still a long way to go with regards to educating people about this type of cancer, though it has become more well known over recent years among doctors and the general public.

The disease is caused by exposure to asbestos, but the latency period can be long - it can take decades between exposure to asbestos and the onset of mesothelioma.

If you or your family are unfortunate enough to be touched by this distressing disease, it's important to seek the guidance of an experienced asbestos lawyer.
