What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the mesothelium. It is the lining of the membrane or lining that covers certain organs in the body. Mesothelioma is caused by cancerous cells within the mesothelium's lining. This rare cancer can develop in those who have been exposed to asbestos.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that are composed of thin fibrous fibers. It was used in many ways, including as insulation, fire retardant, and in manufacturing and construction. Exposure to asbestos typically occurs through work in industries such as construction, the U.S. Navy, and mining. The workers in these industries are at increased risk for exposure to mesothelioma.

A diagnosis of mesothelioma is difficult and requires a variety of tests. A doctor may measure the amount of fluid that is accumulating in the abdomen or chest or take a sample of the mesothelium to be examined under a microscope. Based on the results, doctors can determine if it is mesothelioma, or rule it out. A biopsy is typically the only way to determine mesothelioma.

Patients and their families that are diagnosed with Mesothelioma face significant financial challenges. Not only are they dealing with the pain and suffering that comes with mesothelioma treatment as well as the loss of income due to a decreased ability to work. These costs can quickly grow particularly if the patient or their family members require multiple kinds of treatment.

Mesothelioma can be fatal, and it typically takes years to develop symptoms. Symptoms range from fatigue, to bloody coughing, and difficulty breathing. Frequently, the symptoms do not appear until several years or even decades following the initial exposure to asbestos.

When mesothelioma does occur, it is classified as either benign or malignant. Melotothelium-related benign tumors aren't cancerous and don't expand to other parts of the body. Malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops rapidly and is dangerous.

A mesothelioma settlement is a legal procedure that sees the victims or their heirs file a lawsuit with the asbestos-related companies responsible for exposure and the company pays the victim a lump-sum. The compensation is used for medical expenses, funeral costs and living expenses.

How Does Asbestos Lead to Mesothelioma?


Asbestos occurs naturally and is typically found alongside talc. Because the two minerals share similar geological formations, many asbestos workers were also exposed talcum powder. If talcum powder is fabricated from raw materials that contain asbestos, then those who use the product could be at risk of developing mesothelioma. Asbestos can be exposed in many other ways. For example, asbestos-contaminated talcum powder could have been used in asbestos-reinforced cosmetics and personal hygiene products such as mascara, lipstick, foundation and deodorant.

In addition, employees in the mining and manufacturing industries may have been exposed to talcum powder contaminated with asbestos since it was often used in industrial formulations. Workers who handled these talcum powder-containing products could then carry the dust home on their clothing and shoes and expose family members to asbestos.

The type of mesothelioma a person has determines their symptoms and prognosis. Pleural mesothelioma may cause chest pain, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
