What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that develops in the thin lining that covers organs such as the lungs and abdomen.
Key Details
Asbestos exposure is its main known cause. Fibers that are inhaled or swallowed can lodge in the lining and cause damage over many years.
What to Do Next
Because it is rare and often found late, an accurate diagnosis from a specialist is an important first step.
Speak with a licensed attorney about your own situation. Laws and deadlines vary by state, and no lawyer can guarantee a result.
