mesothelioma
Lung lining tumor
Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium, the thin tissue lining the lungs, chest wall, and abdomen.
Almost all cases result from asbestos exposure, often decades earlier.
The disease gained public awareness through late-night legal advertisements seeking plaintiffs: If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation.
