Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, heart, or abdomen. Caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers, mesothelioma is often diagnosed in older individuals who worked with asbestos products. Prognosis for mesothelioma is poor, but early detection and new treatment provide hope for many patients.

Patients begin to show signs of cancer around 10 to 50 years after their initial exposure to asbestos. Symptoms will differ by the type of mesothelioma, but these early symptoms are often mistaken for more common ailments, like the flu, pneumonia or lung cancer.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of mesothelioma early will increase treatment options and improve overall prognosis.
Most often, mesothelioma is treated with a multimodal plan, or combination, of conventional cancer treatment methods including surgery and chemotherapy. Treatment will either focus on extending life expectancy or, at a late stage, focus on palliative care to relieve side effects.
Research and clinical trials have found new hope for a potential cure with emerging treatments, to combat the disease and improve life expectancy.
Patients or their family members may be eligible for mesothelioma compensation through asbestos bankruptcy trust funds, a settlement or verdict, workers’ compensation or veterans’ benefits.
Any mesothelioma patient, or their loved ones, may file a compensation claim for restitution and hold the parties responsible for the exposure accountable.
