peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma

Malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all diseases caused by exposure to asbestos. This is a cancer of the lining of the lung (pleural mesothelioma) or abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma). It is a very aggressive cancer.

Mesothelioma is caused only by exposure to asbestos. In some instances, it can take as many as 50 years for the cancer to develop and affect the victim. We strongly encourage anyone with mesothelioma to immediately contact our lawyers or someone with special knowledge of asbestos diseases.

If you have been exposed to asbestos and are experiencing any health problems, you should inform your physician immediately. Early diagnosis of mesothelioma cancer or any other asbestos disease is critical to your health. Your doctor can discuss treatment options with you if you are suffering from any of the effects of asbestos exposure.

It is important to remember that the latency period for mesothelioma can be 20 years or more. In other words, a person exposed to harmful amounts of asbestos may not show any symptoms of mesothelioma for 20 years or longer.
