What is Mesothelioma

Posted by at 6:14 PM Read our previous post

This is a cancer of the mesothelium, the membrane that covers your organs. This membrane covers all the organs in the body and makes a fluid that allows them to move easily. For example, your heart moves as it beats, and it needs this membrane to be healthy and flexible for it.

With mesothelioma, the cells of the membrane become abnormal and begin dividing. This is a rare condition that is only caused by exposure to asbestos. It is especially deadly because symptoms may not appear until well after it is quite advanced. There is no known cure, but drug therapy and chemotherapy can help relieve suffering.
