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.

Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2000
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that rapidly spreads within the confines of the abdominal cavity to involve most accessible peritoneal and omental surfaces. Current treatments are unsatisfactory, and new approaches are needed. We have noted prolonged survival in selected patients after intensive multimodality treatment.

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, which arises predominantly in the pleural lining of the thoracic cavity or, less commonly, in the peritoneum, pericardium or tunica vaginalis. The incidence of mesothelioma increased globally during the late twentieth century, correlating with the use of asbestos, and it continues to rise ...

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm often related to previous asbestos exposure. In 14 cases the diagnosis before surgery was virtually impossible, as patients presented with vague abdominal complaints and nonspecific physical examination findings. Laboratory testing (including computed tomography) was of no added diagnostic help.

The epidemiology of mesothelioma
Seminars in Oncology, 2002It has been more than 40 years since occupational crocidolite exposure in South African miners was found to be associated with development of malignant mesothelial tumors 30 to 40 years later. Similar cases were not seen in the amosite and chrysotile miners.

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2004
In this article, progress in distinguishing mesothelioma from mesothelial hyperplasia and fibrosing pleuritis was discussed. Advances in the immunohistochemical characterization of mesothelioma, in the recognition of entities that mimic mesothelioma, and in their distinction from mesothelioma were reviewed.
