Genetics are very relevant to patients with mesothelioma cancer. Individuals who are exposed to asbestos who also carry certain genes are even more likely to develop pleural mesothelioma, a particularly aggressive and fatal form of cancer that affects the lungs.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which cancer (malignant) cells
are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura), the lining of the abdominal
cavity (the peritoneum) or the lining around the heart (the pericardium). It is
generally caused by asbestos exposure. We are providing on this site a source of
resources to support those injured by mesothelioma.
