What Is Mesothelioma?
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is caused by asbestos exposure.
There are two main forms of the disease: pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma.
Pleural mesothelioma affects the lining of the lungs (pleura), whereas peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdomen, often spreading to other organs.
Is mesothelioma curable?
Malignant mesothelioma is not a curable cancer.
It’s a highly aggressive form of cancer that’s usually diagnosed during the later stages of the disease.
The prognosis for mesothelioma patients in the US is slowly improving, but only nine percent of people diagnosed with this cancer live longer than five years.
