MALIGNANT MESOTHELIOMA
WEBSITE:
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's
internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma
is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung
known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum
and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.
