mesothelioma symptoms: mesothelioma , sympton, diagnosis and treatment

This images depicts the effects of asbestos fibers on the membrane lining the lungs, known as the pleura, once they are inhaled into the body. The fibers become lodged in the pleura, causing inflammation and infection. Overtime, this causes mesothelial cells to become cancerous. The cancerous cells then divide uncontrollably, resulting in the thickening of pleural membranes. This can cause pleural mesothelioma patients to experience persistent cough, chest pains and difficulty breathing, among other symptoms.
