What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is caused from prolonged exposure to asbestos. It is naturally very rare, but the proliferation of asbestos mining and use, it has become quite common. Since manufacturing processes and manufactured products are the source of this cancer-causing asbestos, many sufferers sue the mining companies and manufacturing companies for failing to protect them from asbestos exposure.
The most common symptoms of mesothelioma are a constant cough, general respiratory discomfort, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are the same as those of asbestosis (which is another form of illness caused by exposure to asbestos) but these two illnesses are actually not the same. With mesothelioma, cancer cells have already produced at a rapid and abnormal pace and are beginning to wreak havoc inside the body. Asbestosis can lead to mesothelioma if it is not treated immediately.
