About the Journal
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that manifests itself in the superficial layer of tissue known as the mesothelium, which is responsible for covering the bulk of your internal organs. The most prevalent type of mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma, which is a cancer that affects the tissue that surrounds the lungs.
Chest pain, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, exhaustion, and lumps under the skin on the chest are some of the symptoms that may be associated with mesothelioma. Others include lethargy. Different types and stages of cancer can cause these symptoms to manifest in a variety of ways.
In many cases, cancers like mesothelioma are brought on by exposure to asbestos, which is a fibrous mineral that was frequently utilized in the production of building materials until recently. Exposure to asbestos is most frequently found in workplaces, such as construction sites, shipyards, and factories. Additionally, exposure to asbestos can be acquired through secondhand exposure, which occurs when an individual comes into touch with someone who works with asbestos.
The purpose of this publication is to serve as an essential point of reference for all medical professionals and researchers who are involved in the investigation and treatment of mesothelioma and any other diseases that are associated with asbestos. There is no fee for the processing of articles in this publication.
