The pathogenesis of mesothelioma
Seminars in Oncology, 2002About 80% of malignant mesotheliomas (MM) in the Western World develop in individuals with higher than background exposure to asbestos. Only a fraction of those exposed to asbestos develop mesothelioma, indicating that additional factors play a role. Simian virus 40 (SV40), a DNA tumor virus that preferentially causes mesothelioma in hamsters, has been

Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells lining body cavities including the pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, and tunica vaginalis. Most malignant mesotheliomas occur in the chest and are frequently associated with a history of asbestos exposure.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1991
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors that can be classified as localized or diffuse. Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas are invariably malignant. Although the frequency is low in the general population, it is more common in persons with a heavy occupational exposure to asbestos, and is considered as a signal tumor to asbestos exposure with medicolegal ...

The pathogenesis of mesothelioma
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2006Widespread asbestos exposure during the past century has been linked to the dramatic increased incidence of malignant mesothelioma (MM), a malignancy that was so rare until 1950-1960 that some pathologists questioned its existence. Although asbestos has been clearly linked to MM pathogenesis, until recently the mechanisms of asbestos carcinogenesis in ...

Malignant mesothelioma is a well-recognized long-term sequela of chronic asbestos exposure. Asbestos use in the United States began in the 1950s and was widespread until the mid-1970s. Although currently only 2.2 cases per million population per year are diagnosed, disease incidence is increasing because of the long latency of this neoplasm.

Diseases of the Chest, 1959
(1) Eight cases of tumor of the pleural are presented. All are believed to be of mesothelial origin. Six were diffuse, two solitary. One diffuse tumor may have been primary in the peritoneum with spread to the pleura. All cases with diffuse tumors are dead two to 40 months from onset of symptoms. Both cases with solitary types are living one year and

Three to four thousand cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma will occur in the United States this year. Single-modality therapy with radiation plays a role for palliation. Radiation can prevent tumor recurrence at drain/instrumentation sites and provide symptomatic relief of pain and other complaints.

Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a rare but lethal disease. Altogether there are about 150 cases reported in the literature. In most cases the diagnosis is made at autopsy or postoperatively. Clinical signs and symptoms are typically nonspecific and are similar to compromised cardiac function.

Mesothelioma is a killer, 3000 deaths a year in UK. Mesothelioma has the quality of a silent killer, as it manifests itself at a very late stage, usually when it is too late. The cause, or one of the causes, appears to be the inhalation of asbestos dust.
