Mesothelioma is a rare kind of cancer that most frequently appears in the thin membrane that lines the abdomen or lungs. It is a type of cancer that progresses very quickly. Doctors in the United States diagnose about 2,000 to 3,000 cases of mesothelioma each year, and the rate of diagnosis is growing steadily.

Nearly all cases of mesothelioma in the U.S. are connected to exposure to asbestos. This kind of cancer, however, does not usually manifest for up to several decades after the initial exposure.
