Mesothelioma is a form of
lung cancer usually brought on by exposure to asbestos and products containing asbestos.
Asbestos was widely used for decades as an insulation material because
it can withstand high levels of heat without breaking down. In the past
few decades, it has been outlawed as a product that can be used in most
manufacturing and has been the subject of intense efforts of removal from
offices, homes, and other older structures.
The disease can take up to 50 years to finally manifest itself in those
who have been exposed. The minute fibers of asbestos cause cancer by being
inhaled into the lungs and traveling into the mesothelial tissues in our
lungs where they cause cellular damage. This damage of the mesothelial
cells results in tumor growth.

Over many years, the microscopic asbestos fibers cause inflammation, scarring
and genetic damage to those affected by the exposure. There is currently
no cure for mesothelioma, but researchers and clinicians have developed
new treatment options and therapies for the disease. Although use of asbestos
has dramatically decreased since the 1980's, the incidence of malignant
mesothelioma has been steady due to the decades-long latency period of
the disease.
