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.

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.

(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

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 ...

Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer and its global incidence continues to increase. There has been strong interest in the search for a biomarker that would be of value for the diagnosis, prognosis and disease monitoring of mesothelioma. Large series evaluating the use of novel candidate markers have recently been published.To date, global gene ...

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an asbestos-related neoplasm that originates in pleural mesothelial cells and progresses locally along the pleura until it encases the lungs and mediastinum, ultimately causing death. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and optimal management. Computed tomography (CT) continues to be the primary and initial
