Pleural Effusion
The Asbestos Mesothelioma Lung Cancer website was created to provide mesothelioma asbestos lung
cancer patients, their families and friends with up-to-date information about asbestos mesothelioma cancer.
We have
consolidated the latest information on mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer, mesothelioma symptoms, mesothelioma causes,
mesothelioma diagnosis, and mesothelioma treatment. We have also gathered vital information on coping with the personal and
financial effects of a mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer diagnosis, which can be devastating without the proper preparation.
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of lung cancer. Mesothelioma is the term used to describe a cancerous tumor which
involves the mesothelial cells of an organ, usually the lungs, heart or abdominal organs. Pleural mesothelioma or cancer of the
lung lining is the most common form of mesothelioma cancer. Peritoneal mesothelioma is cancer of the stomach lining and is the
next most common form.
The onset of mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer is usually very slow, and the most commonly noted
mesothelioma symptoms are chest pain and pain in the lower back. Sometimes the pain is accompanied by difficulty breathing,
coughing, weight loss and fever.
As the disease progresses rapidly it is very important that one seeks medical
treatment as soon as possible. The Mesothelioma Treatment Options section lists mesothelioma
doctors and hospitals across the
country. In our Coping Strategy section we outline what to do and how to obtain financial assistance. Our Articles & News
section has a variety of mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer news and medical articles about treatments options and new
medications.
Mesothelioma asbestos lung cancer is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. See our What Caused
Mesothelioma section for exposure history and a list of hazardous jobs.
