Mesothelioma is a disease where tumors grow in the Mesothelium, which is the lining that surrounds the lungs, stomach, heart and other organs. It has both a benign (noncancerous) and a malignant (cancerous) form. The cancerous form is associated with exposure to airborne asbestos fibers, usually from a job setting. Here are some links to help you learn more.
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the membrane that covers and protects various internal organs of the body (mesothelium). The mesothelium is composed of two layers of specialized cells known as mesothelial cells. One layer directly surrounds an organ; the other forms a protective sac around the organ.
The most common form of mesothelioma affects the membrane or sac that lines the lungs (pleura). Other common sites include the membrane lining the stomach (peritoneum) and the membrane lining the heart (pericardium).
