Mesothelioma is an asbestos-caused cancer found in the membranes that surround many vital organs. This membrane (mesothelium) secretes a fluid that lubricates the organs within the body, providing easy movement. When the Mesothelioma becomes cancerous, it is called Mesothelioma.

Serious Disease

Mesothelioma is a serious disease in which the cells affected become abnormal, divide and multiply alarmingly fast, resulting in deadly cancerous tumors. The diffuse nature of Mesothelioma has important implications of how Mesothelioma is treated, as complete surgical extraction of the cancerous tissue is difficult and often impossible.

Diagnosis is Difficult

Signs and symptoms of Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose and may not appear right away due to its long latency period. This is the period of time between the first exposure to asbestos and the onset of the disease which can be anywhere between 10 and 50 years. The diagnosis of Mesothelioma can also be difficult due to the fact that the symptoms are comparable to many other diseases.

Asbestos Exposure

While considered a rare disorder in the general population, Mesothelioma is not rare among those exposed to asbestos. There are two to three thousand new cases of Mesothelioma diagnosed every year.

Exposure to asbestos is the only confirmed cause of Mesothelioma. Asbestos is a mineral that has been used extensively in schools, homes, office buildings, ships, industrial facilities, automobile brake shoes, and is even woven into certain fabrics and mats. Modern uses of asbestos include insulation in buildings and to protect structures from extreme heat and fire. Most Mesothelioma victims were exposed to asbestos in the workplace, through a family member who brought asbestos home on their clothes or through home renovation projects. Although the use of asbestos has been banned from many products since the mid-1980s, asbestos can still be found in many old structures and in products still in use today.

The Dangers Were Known

Many of the companies that manufactured, sold, and installed asbestos containing products had extensive knowledge of the deadly hazards as early as 1920. In fact, there was evidence available in medical books and journals revealing the dangers of asbestos exposure long before millions of Americans worker were exposed. These corporations waited decades to provide warnings to workers and the general public. In some cases, warnings were never provided.
