For those diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lung (pleura) or the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). A mesothelioma diagnosis can be overwhelming, and we are here to answer any questions you might have.
What is Mesothelioma ? What is the difference betwen leural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma?
malignant mesothelioma is a disease in which a cancerous tumor grows on the mesothelioma -the saclining the internal body cavities. The specific type of mesothelioma is named for the tissue where the cancer started. Pleural mesothelioma starts in the chest, in pleura that surround the lunge (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall). it makes up about 70% of mesothelioma cases. Peritoneal mesothelioma starts in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
