Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that develops from cells of the mesothelium, the protective lining that covers most of the internal organs of the body.mesothelioma is dangerous but many people still don't know. this disease called mesothelioma can be prevented but the means of prevention available is what many don't want to adhere to. sometimes i wonder why people know that something is not good for their health and yet they still go close to that thing. mesothelioma is caused mostly by asbestos and this same asbestos is what many people still use and come in contact with everyday. mesothelioma has very many dangerous effects to human health apart from its main effects that will be discussed soon. people  in the united states and some other parts of the world are more at risk of the disease and this is because asbestos which is the major cause of mesothelioma is used mostly by Americans in the construction of houses. mesothelioma is not well known by many people, some people have never even heard about it in their entire life. in the country where i come from, i doubt if there is an individual that knows much about this disease called mesothelioma. mesothelioma kills and yet not many people know about it and the most painful thing is that some doctors never give advice against constant contact with asbestos, the primary cause of mesothelioma. this disease called mesothelioma is a slow killer that gradually shortens the life span of the individuals that it affects. my number one of writing this page about mesothelioma is to enlighten people more on mesothelioma and this page will cover areas such as how to prevent mesothelioma, how to reduce the risk of being infected by mesothelioma, how mesothelioma is diagnosed, treatments for mesothelioma and other aspects that will enlighten people on the in and out of the dangerous disease called mesothelioma. first, I'd like to discuss how mesothelioma starts and the process and stages of mesothelioma.

                                              How Mesothelioma Starts
As we all know, mesothelioma(or malignant mesothelioma) is a rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers the internal organs of the body. the major cause and start of mesothelioma is constant exposure to asbestos. the most commonly affected part by mesothelioma is the pleura, which is the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall but it can also occur in the peritoneum which is the lining of the abdominal cavity, the pericardium which is the sac that surrounds the heart or the tunica viginalis which is the sac that surrounds the testis. majority of the people suffering from mesothelioma have worked in jobs where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers or were exposed to airborne asbestos dust or fibers in other ways. handling the clothes or any other property taken always to work by a friend or family member who works with asbestos also creates a risk for getting infected by mesothelioma. mesothelioma has no association with tobacco smoking unlike lung cancer, but smoking increases the risk of other cancers caused by asbestos.
