Mesothelioma as Defined

Have you heard this term Mesothelioma? I have learned that it is an asbestos-caused cancer of the membranes that surround many of the body’s vital organs. This membrane, known as mesothelium, secretes a lubricating fluid that provides easy movement of the organs within the body. When the mesothelium becomes cancerous, it is called mesothelioma.

I was so saddened when I hear the news that my uncle died in this kind of cancer- he was working in a company wherein he was exposed too much asbestos. He was diagnosed to have this rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers many of his body’s internal organs, the mesothelium.
