What types of Mesothelioma?
Name of Mesothelioma, asbestos related cancer, acquires its name from
the mesothelium cells that are responsible for protecting and enabling

in the body. Mesothelioma is generally of three types, pleural
mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma.
If a person is suffering from hoarseness, difficulty in breathing, loss
in weight, coughing, blood in sputum, chest pain, weak muscles, reduced
tactile sensitivity, he may be suffering from Pleural mesothelioma or
the cancer of lining of the lungs. This is the most common type of
mesothelioma and almost two-thirds of the mesothelioma patients suffer
from pleural mesothelioma. The Peritoneal mesothelioma or cancer of the
lining of the abdomen causes impaired bowel motion, bloating, swelling
in feet, and nausea. This is less common among mesothelioma patients
and it affects one-third of the mesothelioma patients. Pericardial
mesothelioma is of the cancer of lining of the heart. It is also caused
because of asbestos exposure. However, its prevalence is rare.
Pericardial mesothelioma manifests in the form of chest pain,
palpitations and cough.
Lawsuits related to Mesothelioma:
