Mesothelioma Cancer and Asbestos
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer which occurs in thin membranes (called
the mesothelium) lining the chest, lungs, abdomen and sometimes the
heart. Although quite rare, mesothelioma symptoms strike more than 200
people each year in the United States. The majority of mesothelioma
cases are directly linked to asbestos exposure.
