The National Institute of Cancer states that people who have been subjected to asbestos exposure is at major risk for mesothelioma cancer. Nearly 80% of those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos. Malignant Pleural mesothelioma is cancer which is found in the lining of the chest. If mesothelioma is found in the abdominal cavity it is known as peritoneum mesothelioma. mesothelioma which is found in the lining of the heart is known as pericardium mesothelioma.

Symptoms of mesothelioma may not occur for 30 to 50 years after an individual is exposed to asbestos. Unfortunately, the early symptoms of mesothelioma are often non-specific and can sometimes be confused with other illnesses such as pneumonia. Part of the reason that mesothelioma is often misdiagnosed is that many of the symptoms are similar to pneumonia, including shortness of breath, persistent cough and chest pain. These similarities can sometimes lead to a delay in a mesothelioma diagnosis. Making matters more difficult is the fact that some patients show no symptoms of their mesothelioma.
