About Mesothelioma

http://mesothelioma-doclibrary.blogspot.com/ About Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is an asbestos caused cancer of the serous membranes that surround many of the body’s vital organs. These membranes, known as mesothelium, secrete a lubricating fluid that provides an easy movement of the organs within the body. The most common form of the disease is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the membranes that surround the lungs. The next most-common form of the disease is peritoneal mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the abdomen. Other forms of the disease do exist, but they are rare occurrences. While considered a rare cancer, mesothelioma is not rare among individuals exposed to asbestos. The great tragedy of mesothelioma is that it was preventable. Many of the corporations that manufactured and profited from the sale of asbestos-containing products were aware of the hazards of asbestos.
