Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that most often occurs in the thin membrane lining the lungs or abdomen. Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. This rate is steadily rising. Virtually all cases of mesothelioma in the U.S. are linked to asbestos exposure. Mesothelioma can appear and progress very rapidly.
