Mesothelioma Info

Malignant mesothelioma asbestos is a rare type of cancer that affects the mesothelial tissue lining of three large bode cavities. There are three distinct types of mesothelioma cancer: pleural mesothelioma (the most common type), peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma.

Benign fibrous mesothelioma was once viewed as a non-malignant type of pleural mesothelioma; however, it is now known that mesothelioma is by nature malignant, and therefore cannot exist in a benign form. Any reference to a benign fibrous mesothelioma is an erroneous classification.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, contact an asbestos attorney or mesothelioma lawyer to get information about your right to compensation.
