Cause of Pleural Mesothelioma
The only known cause of pleural mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos particles. When these particles settle in the pleura, they can cause inflammation, which, over years, can develop into cancerous tumors.
Pleural mesothelioma is an incurable disease that causes difficulty breathing and significant pain and suffering. Once tumors develop, they tend to spread quickly, and can spread to nearby organs such as the heart, stomach and lymph nodes. Prompt medical treatment can alleviate symptoms and give the sufferer precious months, even years, to live.
Pleural Mesothelioma Symptoms
It typically takes between 20 and 50 years for pleural mesothelioma to develop. Men and women exposed to asbestos decades ago are only now experiencing symptoms, which include:
- Shortness of breath

- Pain when breathing
- Fluid around the lungs
