Everyone knows someone who is affected by cancer at some stage of their life. Here’s one form of cancer that has surfaced in Australia (and the world) over the years and concluded with some very big legal cases and compensation payouts.

Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos.

Mesothelioma Treatment Options
The treatment program for mesothelioma depends on many factors, including: the stage of the cancer, where the cancer is, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope and the patient’s age and desires.

Benign Mesothelioma
A noncancerous tumor of the pleura (lining of the lung and chest cavity).

Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Nonmalignant mesothelioma is usually a localized tumor that affects men more frequently than women. The tumor may grow to a large size and compress the lung, causing the symptoms of shortness of breath.

Pleural Mesothelioma
Cancer of the cells of the lining that envelops the lungs. This is the most common type of Mesothelioma and accounts for three-quarters of all Mesothelioma cases.
