Mesothelioma

Malignant mesothelioma is an incurably fatal type of cancer that affects the mesothelial tissue lining the largest of the body cavities. Often confused with various asbestos lung diseases (e.g. asbestosis or asbestos lung cancer), pleural mesothelioma affects the mesothelial tissue lining the lung cavity and is the most commonly contracted type (others being peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma).

The diagnosis of mesothelioma helps doctors to type and stage a specific case of the disease. There are three types of mesothelioma cancer cells:

Epithelioid cancer cells are the most common type, accounting for approximately 50% to 70% of all mesothelioma cancer cells. Biphasic cancer cells are the second most common type, accounting for approximately 25% of all mesothelioma cancer cells. Sarcomatoid cancer cells are the least frequent type, accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of all mesothelioma cancer cells.

Asbestos is the only known cause of malignant mesothelioma. Negligent asbestos manufacturers have been proven to be liable for asbestos injuries.
