Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, heart, stomach and other organs... Thankfully, mesothelioma is fairly rare in the United States.
Yet, thousands, in fact about 3,000 new cases get diagnosed each year.
So what causes this rare type of cancer?
Mesothelioma is caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers.
Yes, it’s the very reason why we fear asbestos and go every extent to remove it from our homes, offices, schools, etc.
This has also prompted more than 50 countries to restrict or ban the use of asbestos since the early 1970s.
But that doesn’t mean you are completely risk-free.
It’s very important to understand what mesothelioma is, and what treatments are available...
