What is Mesothelioma?Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer that affects the tissue around the lungs, heart, and other internal organs. It is only caused by exposure to asbestos, and often presents itself 30 to 40 years after that exposure. The disease is fatal, but proper treatment can extend a person’s life by years and significantly ease the pain and symptoms that accompany the illness.

In many instances, mesothelioma is not diagnosed until 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure occurs. For this reason, many people diagnosed with mesothelioma are over the age of 60.
