Mesothelioma Information
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is caused by human exposure to asbestos. There is a protective lining of the internal organs called the mesothelium. When a person is affected by this disease, they begin to develop bad cells in these areas. Mesothelioma is usually found in the linings of the lungs and heart. This disease commonly develops in industrial workers who have inhaled asbestos, so those in construction are most at risk for developing this gruesome cancer.
