New research suggests that both age and gender differences can influence susceptibility to developing the fatal and incurable asbestos-related cancer, mesothelioma, and the survival rate at the point of confirmed diagnosis.
Mesothelioma Spreads To Unexpected Areas
The most deadly form of asbestosis disease, the incurable malignant cancer, mesothelioma, is almost always diagnosed in the mesothelium, i.e. the membrane lining many of the body’s organs and cavities.
