Welcome to the Mesothelioma Patient site.
Mesothelioma is also known as the "asbestos cancer" since it is an asbestos-related disease. It attacks the membranes that cover the lungs, abdominal cavity and internal organs of the body.
Mesothelioma is often not discovered for years, or even decades, after exposure to asbestos fibers. It takes a long time to develop after the individual is exposed to airborne asbestos fibers.
It is one of the few cancers that don't exhibit symptoms until the cancer reaches the late stage of development and it is at this point that many cases are incurable.
Mesothelioma is a cancer that typically affects middle-aged or older men who were exposed to asbestos while on the job.
