Mesothelioma (commonly misspelled: mesothilioma) is a rare type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. A rare and aggressive form of cancer, mesothelioma affects the inside lining of the abdomen and chest.
Mesothelioma, which is the cancer of the mesothelium arising out of the inhalation of asbestos, is one of those diseases that does not get noticed or diagnosed till many years later. Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the mesothelium due to exposure to asbestos and figures reveal that more than 2000 cases are registered every year. If we want to prevent mesothelioma, we have to ensure that the root cause of the disease, which is asbestos, is totally banned.
New tests can significantly improve diagnosis of the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma. While this is good at identifying other types of lung cancer, it is not a very sensitive test for mesothelioma. The number of cases of mesothelioma in the UK is expected to rise sharply over the next 20 years before eventually decreasing because of the heavy use of asbestos in industry.
