Malignant Mesothelioma

Malignant Mesothelioma is the most serious of all asbestos related diseases, and an extrememly uncommon form of cancer. The relatively unknown symptoms associated with Malignant Mesothelioma make it a very difficult disease for Doctors to diagnose.

Usually by the time the initial diagnosis is made, Malignant Mesothelioma has progressed to a point where patients no longer respond well to treatments. Malignant Mesothelioma is almost exclusively caused by the inhalation of airborne asbestos particles. With Malignant Mesothelioma there can often be a long latency period between when the individual is exposed to the asbestos and when the disease manifests itself in the human body.
