Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Mesothelioma Information - Basics Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is usually caused by previous exposure to asbestos. It is actually one of the deadliest diseases known to man and is affecting approximately 3,000 U.S. citizens every year. The cycle starts when someone inhales the dust particles of decomposing asbestos. This essentially eats the lining of your lungs, turning into a deadly form of cancer. After exposure, malignant cells begin to develop in the mesothelium. This is a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. * Mesothelioma Information - History of Asbestos * Mesothelioma Information -Asbestos Today * Mesothelioma Information - Exposure * Mesothelioma Information - Mesothelioma Symptoms * Mesothelioma Information - Mesothelioma Diagnosis * Mesothelioma Information - Incidence Mesothelioma Information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
