The disease, Mesothelioma is named that because the cancer cells grow on the lining of the chest or abnomen which is known as
mesothelium.
Mesothelioma is a rare but deadly cancer, mainly caused by asbestos exposure. There are a few
cases of this type of cancer being found in people who have never been exposed to asbestos in any way, shape or form.
The symptoms are hard to define from other diseases that have the same symptoms. This
results in doctors having to take more tests and time to deterimine the disease and what stage
the cancer is in if this cancer is found.
This type of cancer can be controlled to a point with radiation,
chemotherapy, and in rare instances, surgery. There is no known cure
for mesothelioma, but they have come out with some new pain relieving
drugs directed at Mesothelioma cancer.
