Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium, the lining that surrounds many organs of the body. The mesothelium covering the lungs is called the pleura. The mesothelium on the abdomen is called the peritoneum. The mesothelium on the heart is called the pericardium.
As with all cancers, mesothelioma is characterized by an uncontrolled growth of cells which eventually leads to more severe symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, blood in the sputum, and eventually death in untreated pleural mesothelioma. Most cases of mesothelioma start from the pleura, but occasionally they may start in the peritoneum or pericardium. Mesothelioma is associated with exposure to asbestos, often appearing 20 to 50 years after exposure.
Companies that worked with asbestos had known that its exposure was attributed to severe symptoms, yet they hid this from the public for decades. Unfortunately, for the estimated 3,000 Americans diagnosed with mesothelioma every year, it is too late. The damage has already been done. Modern medicine, although effective in alleviating symptoms and extending the lifespan of sufferers, can only do so much for most of them.
