About Mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.Tags

Actually, no. The rate seems to be decreasing. It rose during the 1970′s through the 1990′s, then stabilized. The reason is that during those years people were trying to remove old asbestos on their own, panicking when they found it and getting really aggressive with it. Now that most of it is either removed or stabilized, and people have become more aware of the special requirements needed to deal with it, fewer people are exposed to airborne asbestos. So the rate will most likely continue to drop. I think the reason you see all the ads on tv is because the lucrative law practice that made so much money off the suits is feeling the pinch of the decreasing rate. The ambulance chasers need to drum up business, and the ads make it sound good. And folks like the idea of making big bucks out a suit. Never mind that the money isn’t a lot of comfort to those who have the problem. The lawyers will still get their big chunk. or at least a fee for the consultation.
