 Peritoneal
Mesothelioma
The only known
cause of peritoneal mesothelioma
is from asbestos exposure. For
decades, workers were exposed
to asbestos, not realizing the
effects it could have on their
bodies and dramatically increasing
their risk of developing peritoneal
mesothelioma. Since the appearance
of peritoneal mesothelioma can
take years to show up, there
is now an increase in peritoneal
mesothelioma claims because
workers are just now starting
to be diagnosed at a high number.
Roughly
20% of all mesothelioma cases
are categorized as peritoneal
mesothelioma. There are limited
treatment options for peritoneal
mesothelioma, but due to the
high incidence and deadly effects
there are developments in peritoneal
mesothelioma that researchers
hope will result in an eventual
cure. Until then, thousands
of people will continue to suffer
from peritoneal mesothelioma
and families will lose loved
ones.
