So how does mesothelioma develop?

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, “The following information should serve as a guide to understanding mesothelioma. According to the American Cancer Society in a December 2013 posting, 'Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma. After these fibers are breathed in, they travel to the ends of small air passages and reach the pleura, where they can damage mesothelial cells. This leads to inflammation and scarring. This may damage cells’ DNA and cause changes that result in uncontrolled cell growth. If swallowed, these fibers can reach the abdominal cavity where they have a role in causing peritoneal mesothelioma.' This information is incredibly important for anyone exposed to asbestos.”
