What is Mesothelioma?
Introduction to Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer which is caused by exposure to asbestos and is most commonly contracted due to exposure to asbestos at work. Mesothelioma is often known by the term 'Meso', a shortened version of the full name.
The name 'Mesothelioma' comes from the fact that the cells affected by this cancer are the mesothelial cells which cover the outer surface of the body's internal organs. Mesothelioma can be found on the lungs, the heart or the abdomen.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for mesothelioma and after diagnosis victims may only have a short time to live. It will usually be investigated whether surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy would be worthwhile; however, mesothelioma is considered to be a terminal illness.
If you have contracted mesothelioma, you may be entitled to make a mesothelioma claim and should consult a mesothelioma solicitor.
