Types of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure that can affect the protective lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart. Due to the delayed onset of symptoms, many victims of asbestos exposure are not diagnosed with the disease until it has advanced to the latter stages. There are three main types of mesothelioma, Pleural Mesothelioma, Peritoneal Mesothelioma, and Pericardial Mesothelioma.

Pleural Mesothelioma

What is pleural mesothelioma?

Pleural mesothelioma is cancer of the pleura – the protective mesothelium that encases the lungs.

How does pleural mesothelioma develop?

Pleural mesothelioma most commonly develops as a result of asbestos inhalation. Asbestos enters the lungs and the tiny fibers travel into the pleura causing irritation and eventually the formation of cancerous cells. Pleural mesothelioma is the most commonly diagnosed form of mesothelioma.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

What is peritoneal mesothelioma?

Peritoneal mesothelioma is cancer of the peritonium – the protective mesothelium surrounding the abdominal cavity.

How does peritoneal mesothelioma develop?

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a very rare form of mesothelioma, making up only about thirty percent of mesothelioma diagnoses. It is hypothesized that peritoneal mesothelioma can develops as a result of asbestos inhalation or ingestion. Once in the lungs or digestive tract, asbestos fibers assumably travel into the mesothelium causing the formation of cancerous tumors and/or buildup of excess fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Pericardial Mesothelioma

What is pericardial mesothelioma?

Pericardial mesothelioma is cancer of the pericardium – the protective mesothelium surrounding the heart.

How does pericardial mesothelioma develop?

Pericardial mesothelioma is the least common type of mesothelioma and results from asbestos fibers traveling into the protective lining of the heart. Overtime, tumors form within the pericardium and fluid can accumulate making the disease progressively more life threatening.
