About Mesothelioma |
|
 |
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. There are two types of mesothelioma cancer:
Like most cancers, mesothelioma generally will only develop many years after the person's first exposure to asbestos. In fact, in some people the cancer may form 30 years or more after the victim's first exposure. If you have been exposed to harmful amounts of asbestos, you may not show any symptoms of mesothelioma cancer for 20 years or longer. Some people will develop the cancer as a result of being around a worker's clothing that is contaminated with asbestos fibers. This commonly occurs among family members of a person who works around asbestos in their job. If you are experiencing any health problems that may be attributed to asbestos exposure, you should inform your physician immediately. Early diagnosis is critical to treatment of the cancer. |
