What is mesothelioma ?
Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a rare disease caused as a result of malignant cancerous cells. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum. It seems to be caused by exposure to asbestos which has been documented in as many as 70-80% of cases. Mesothelioma is very difficult to assess consistently due to the great variability in time before diagnosis and the rate of progression of malignant mesothelioma.
