Mesothelioma Disease

Mesothelioma disease is a type of cancer that affects the mesothelium, a membrane surrounding most of the organs in the body including the lungs, heart and abdominal cavity. The mesothelium protects your organs, much like skin. It is composed of two layers one of which wraps around the organ and another which forms a sac. The mesothelium makes a fluid to lubricate the movement of heart when it beats or your lungs when you breathe.
