Pleural mesothelioma is a lung cancer that develops in the lining of the airways. Shortness of breath, chest pain, a cough, and fluid in the lungs are among the symptoms. Approximately 75% of mesothelioma cases are malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the membrane that covers many of our body's organs. If left untreated, this is a deadly form of cancer.

Asbestos-related cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, is the most common form of the disease. As a result, it is also referred to as abdominal mesothelioma, which refers to cancer of the tissue lining the abdomen. Stomach pain, nausea, and swelling in the abdomen are all signs of peritoneal mesothelioma.

There are only a handful of cases of pericardial mesothelioma. One percent of mesothelioma cases are caused by the disease developing in the lining of the heart. Patients have a poor prognosis and live for an average of six months after being diagnosed with this disease. Efforts to find cures for this rare form of mesothelioma are still being made.
