Mesothelioma Cancer
What is Mesothelioma Cancer?
Mesothelioma cancer is a rare, generally incurable, and asbestos-related cancer caused by inhaled asbestos fiber that forms in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. Once asbestos is inhaled, the body has a hard time getting rid of the fibers, which become lodged in tissues. Over time these fibers can become cancerous. People exposed to asbestos at home, work, or in the military have a higher risk of developing the cancerous disease.
Who is Most at Risk of Developing Mesothelioma Cancer?
People most at risk are those who have handled asbestos for a prolonged period or were exposed to large amounts as part of their career. Secondhand exposure is also common, especially among the spouse and children of people who work with asbestos.
