One of the greatest health hazards ever faced by the American people could possibly be pointed to malignant mesothelioma. The disease does not pick and choose its victims; the possibility of it afflicting almost anybody is very high.

Studies have shown that in some situations a single contact with asbestos can result or cause a chain effect that will then lead to malignant mesothelioma.

Are you aware that there are three kinds of mesothelioma? These include pleura: this is a pouch that surrounds the lungs as well as thoracic cavity; the peritoneum: this is a sack that goes round the stomach and the lower colon; the pericardium: this is a material that wraps around the heart.

Pleural mesothelioma is one of the commonly known kind of malignant mesothelioma. In this type of mesothelioma asbestos fibers are effortlessly conveyed via the air and owing to the location of the chest and the way the lungs function the disease can be transported to other parts of the body via the blood stream.

What makes the treatment of mesothelioma difficult is that the first symptoms of the disease are more often than not misconstrued with other minor diseases and when the symptoms starts to manifest in later stages it becomes too complex to handle. 1
