Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. It is caused by asbestos exposure. It causes tumors to form around body organs. The main organs affected are the lungs, heart, and abdomen.Direct breathing of asbestos is the prime culprit of this disease. However studies have shown that a secondhand form of the disease is linked to families of asbestos workers.
If you contract this disease, you may exhibit a number of symptoms. You chest may hurt. You may also have trouble breathing. Weight loss often occurs.
In the future I will discuss discussion and treatment of mesothelioma. However be aware that once diagnosed, the prognosis is dim. I have found that WikiPedia is a good source for basic information about the disease.
