What Is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is still a relatively rare form of cancer. There are an estimated 2,000 - 3,000 new cases per year in the United States. Approximately 7-13 per one million male patients with a history of asbestos exposure contract mesothelioma. Diagnosis usually occurs 20-40 years after initial exposure to asbestos. For these reasons, it is important for American males to understand the basics of this disease.

The Mesothelioma Reporter has announced the launch of a special report, "What Is Mesothelioma?'. The report is available online at http://www.mesotheliomareporter.org/2004/03/what_is_mesothe.html at no cost. The information within explains the basics of pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, and pericardial mesothelioma, and describes the symptoms related to this asbestos-related disease.

The guide was edited by Jimmy Atkinson of The Mesothelioma Reporter ( http://www.mesotheliomareporter.org ). "Mesothelioma is a deadly disease, so if someone has asbestos exposure-related symptoms, it is important that they understand the importance of seeking medical help quickly,' said Atkinson.
