Mesothelioma, Cancer That We Rarely Notice
Cancer is not something new. I believe almost everyone know what cancer is all about. For quick review, this is the meaning of cancer.
What is cancer?
Cancer refers to any malignant tumor. There are many types of cancers which can occur in nearly every organ. The pattern of growth of cancer cells often resembles a twisted and distorted version of the tissue that is arising.

There is various kind of cancer that we familiar with like breast, lung and throat and brain cancer. But there is a type of cancer that we seldom heard of like Mesothelioma.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in other ways, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos, or by home renovation using asbestos cement products. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking.

So, even though mesothelioma cases are not as many as breast cancer, it’s good that we are better equipped with the knowledge and awareness. In US, I found a website which is dedicated to the mesothelioma’s patients and families. On this website, all the necessary information regarding the disease is available which includes treatment options and also clinical trials.
