What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a term used to describe a lung cancer caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Inhalation is the most common method of exposure. The inhaled fibers cause a cancer that attacks the smooth linings of the chest, heart, and abdomen. When mesothelioma develops in the chest, the cancer attacks the pleural cavity, hence the term pleural mesothelioma. Likewise, perotenial mesothelioma describes mesothelioma developing in the abdominal cavity, as it is attacking the peritoneal cavity.
Many of the manufacturers of asbestos insulation products knew that asbestos was hazardous, yet made a business decision not to warn people of those hazards for decades. You may have a right of recovery against those manufacturers, which can help cover the costs of cancer treatment and provide compensation for your suffering.
