The most terrible thing about this disease is about the low survival rates. It means that anyone who suffers from this has high risk for the death. Many recent surveys show that the patients only survive from 4 to 18 months after they have been diagnosed.
There were still other patients who can survive up to 5 years but only few.
The main cause of mesothelioma is asbestos radiation. The dust from asbestos that is inhaled continuously for a long time is accumulated on the lung and it causes the cancer cells. The risk of cancer is higher when there is also smoking habit and the history of family genetic with cancer. The general symptoms of mesothelioma are the pain on chest and feeling of hard to breath.
