Malignant mesothelioma is a very serious form of cancer affecting the smooth lining of the chest, lungs, heart and abdomen. Between 2,000 and 3,000 new cases of malignant mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year - and this number continues to rise.
Mesothelioma often goes undetected until symptoms appear - typically decades after the initial asbestos exposure. While advances are being made almost daily in mesothelioma research and treatments, at this time malignant mesothelioma is considered to be a terminal disease. As in all cancers, early diagnosis and treatment offer the best hope for a favorable outcome in a patient with malignant mesothelioma.
Today, there are over 10 MILLION sites on the web all vying for visitors looking for information about mesothelioma and asbestos. A great number of those sites have little regard for the accuracy of the information and merely are looking to capitalize on advertising revenue generated by clicks on ads within their site. Many of the sites that do have valuable information frequently go unseen with all the clutter created by these other sites.
The purpose of the Mesothelioma Help Center is to break through all the noise and present a central source for all of your mesothelioma and asbestos information needs. We strive to be the only site you'll need, but we'll provide directions to other top quality mesothelioma sites that we've assembled through our research over the years.
