What is mesothelioma? Mesothelioma cancer disease is a very rare
type on cancer, but it can be very dangerous and has a very
deadly effect. This cancer can develop in the mesothelial cells
that compose the most outer layers of some internal organs.

What are the types of mesothelioma cancer? The types of
mesothelioma can be divided into main three types according to
the place of the affected internal organs; the most common type
of this cancer is when the tumors are developed in the pleura
"the outer lining of lungs". A less common type is the
pericardial mesothelioma when the tumors are developed in the
pericardium or the sac of the heart and its arteries.

The third mesothelioma type is the peritoneal mesothelioma where
the tumors are developed in the peritoneum or the outer lining
that surrounds the internal organs of the abdominal cavity.
These were the main three types, there is another type that
called benign mesothelioma and in this case the tumors that
developed are nonmalignant.

What is the main cause of mesothelioma? The main cause of
mesothelioma is some natural minerals called "Asbestos". These
Asbestos can be inhaled and cause inflammation of the pleural
leading to malignant tumors after 15 to 25 years. The symptoms
of mesothelioma take very long time to appear, as I mentioned,
they may take up to 25 years to appear that make the diagnosis
process is very hard.

What are the main treatment options for mesothelioma cancer?
Actually, there are many treatment options for mesothelioma
cancer, but the main options to treat mesothelioma are the
surgery option, the chemotherapy option and the radiotherapy
option. If you were dealing with Asbestos before, please consult
your doctor today.
