Asbestos is a type of naturally found mineral that was used in a wide range of household and commercial products for many years. The fibers are easily inhaled, swallowed, or trapped in the tissues of the chest and abdominal cavities. Mesothelioma is a condition that occurs when fibrils irritate and form tumors.
Doctors have only discovered a link between exposure to asbestos and pericardial mesothelioma only in a small number of instances. Although they do not know what causes asbestos-related cancer of the pericardium to grow however, they do know that approximately 25% of mesothelioma sufferers are affected. This is partly due to the fact that it is usually diagnosed decades after exposure to asbestos.
Most people who are exposed to asbestos develop pleural msothelioma. This cancer is found in the lining of the lungs and chest wall. There is also the possibility of developing testicular or peritoneal msothelioma in male testes.
