While mesothelioma is a relatively rare form of cancer, pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease. There is little question that asbestos exposure is the root cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and most people who were exposed may not have been aware that they were inhaling the dangerous toxin.

Asbestos fibers generally have a jagged shape that causes inflammation that can lead to a range of insidious maladies, including asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis. Other complications may include diseases that impact the sac surrounding the lungs and chest cavity called the pleura. This sac lubricates the lungs and allows organs within the body to work together smoothly. When asbestos fibers are embedded in the pleura, the membrane becomes inflamed over time, leading to a variety of pleural asbestos diseases.

As a carcinogen, asbestos is known to cause cancer. When asbestos fibers embed themselves in the lining surrounding the lungs, an individual can experience severe respiratory problems. Changes in cell production can become malignant. Cancer in the lining of the lungs is the most common form of mesothelioma. This form of cancer is almost always fatal. Early diagnosis is difficult, as many unrelated diseases have similar symptoms, including:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath and breathing difficulties
• Fatigue or lethargy
• Persistent cough
• Excessive sweating and high fever
• Weight loss without dieting
• Loss of appetite
• Difficulties with swallowing
