Introduction to Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos.  Malignant cells develop in the mesothelium.  The mesothelium is a protective lining that covers most of the human body's internal organs. The most common location is the pleura which is the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall.   Mesothelioma can also occur in the peritoneum which is the lining of the abdominal cavity, the pericardium which is a sac that surrounds the heart, or in the heart itself.
