Asbestos Cancer

Mesothelioma is the type of cancer most commonly associated with asbestos exposure, is a malignancy that occurs in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart.

 A mesothelioma diagnosis is classified as following three types:-

1. Pleural Mesothelioma which occurs in the lining of the lungs.
2. Peritoneal Mesothelioma which occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
3. Pericardial Mesothelioma which occurs in the lining of the heart.

What is Mesothelioma?

 Mesothelioma is most commonly caused by exposure to asbestos. The most common anatomical site for mesothelioma is the pleura (the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it can also arise in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart or the tunica vaginalis.

Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked in careers such as mining, where they inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers, or were exposed to airborne asbestos dust and fibers in other ways. Washing the clothing of a family member who worked with asbestos also creates a risk for developing mesothelioma
