Mesothelioma Cancer | Also called Malignant mesothelioma

Mesothelioma Cancer:

The tissue that lines the lungs, stomach, heart and other organs is called mesothelium. Mesothelioma cancer is a tumor of that tissue. It usually starts in the lungs, but it can also start in the abdomen or other organs. It can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancer).

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare but from the serious types of cancer. Most people who obtain it have worked in jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. After being exposed to asbestos, it usually takes a long time for the disease to form.

Symptoms Include:

Difficulty breathing

Pain below the rib cage

Pain, swelling, or lumps in the abdomen

Weight loss without any known reason

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the difference between malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer. Your doctor uses imaging tests and a biopsy to make the diagnosis. Malignant mesothelioma is often found when advanced. This makes it more difficult to deal with. Treatment may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy.
