Mesothelioma Peritoneal

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost forever caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this illness, malignant cells age in the mesothelium, a protective lining that carpets most of the bodys internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).

Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in other methods and means, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos, or by home renovation using asbestos cement products. There is no association between mesothelioma and smoking.

The first lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers were in 1929. Since then, many trials have been filed against asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety measures after the link between asbestos, asbestosis and mesothelioma became known (some reports intimate to place this as early as 1898). The liability then from the sheer number of cases and people affected has reached billions of dollars. The amounts and method of allocating honorarium have been the source of many court cases, and government attempts at resolution of existing and future brass tacks.
