What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer, which affects a tissue that covers our heart, lungs, the stomach and other organs. (This fabric is called Mesetolio)
The cancer is caused after breathing for a long time asbestos, which has been used to cover houses, and as a roof for certain homes, this material releases a toxic substance that creates mesothelioma cancer.

There are 2 types of Mesothelioma cancer:

It can be benign (not cancerous)
Malignant (cancerous)
Several of the symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are
  
Trouble breathing
Pain below the rib cage 
 
Pain, swelling, or lumps in the abdomen 
Weight loss without apparent cause

Sometimes, it is difficult to recognize the difference between malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer. For the diagnosis, your doctor will use imaging tests and a biopsy. Often, malignant mesothelioma is detected when it is already advanced. This makes its treatment difficult. The treatment includes surgery, radiation and / or chemotherapy.
