Malignant Mesothelioma

Metastatic Mesothelioma is very aggressive cancer that affects cells in the pleura, a membrane
that enfolds your lungs and prevents them from sticking to other tissues during breathing. The
disease can also affect the abdominal lining, the peritoneum, and often spreads into the
abdominal area.

Mesothelioma is a disease that barely existed 100 years ago. In fact, it wasn’t formally identified
until the 1930s. Today, however, the incidence of the disease, although still rare, is increasing in
many countries especially Australia.
