Mesothelioma is cancer of the mesothelium, a protective membrane that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Mesothelioma usually starts in the chest or abdominal cavity, but the cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body.
Mesothelioma can strike anyone, but according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, about 70 percent to 80 percent of mesothelioma patients worked with asbestos at some time in their lives.
The symptoms of mesothelioma, however, can take up to 30 to 50 years to appear after asbestos exposure.
