What is the mesothelioma?
The mesothelioma is a membrane that completely covers and protects each of the internal organs of the body. This membrane is made up of two layers of cells, one layer surrounds the organ while the other forms a sac around it. The mesothelioma produces lubricating fluid which is released between these layers, allowing the moving organs such as the heart and lungs to glide easily against adjacent surfaces.
What is mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that attacks the mesothelioma membrane, and is caused by earlier exposure to asbestos particles. When mesothelioma strikes, cells of the mesothelioma become abnormal and divide without control, and malignant cells develop in the mesothelioma which can metastasize from their original site to invade and damage nearby tissues and organs within the body. Typically, mesothelioma will begin in the pleura or peritoneum.. the abdominal cavity or lungs.
