Understanding Mesothelioma, Causes Types and Symptoms . Mesothelioma is one type of aggressive malignant cancer that affects the lining membrane of the lungs and stomach. Malignant mesothelioma or malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all diseases associated with asbestos. This cancer develops in meshothelium cells, whereas the meshothelium is a membrane that forms several layers of body cavities such as the chest cavity, abdominal cavity, heart sac. This malignant disease is most often found in workers who often inhale the substances contained in asbestos.
Causes of Mesothelioma
1. Often inhaling the smell or asbestos dust. In addition, people around him could be affected for example wife or children who often wash clothes her husband who worked with asbestos can also trigger cancer.
2. Area of the environment where the air contains many erionite substances or a mineral zeolite substance that is very similar to asbestos fibers. is also capable of causing the population affected by malignant Mesothelioma disease.
3. Mesothelioma can be caused by asbestos in the building. In the UK alone there is a ban on using asbestos because the substance is quite dangerous.

Types of Mesothelioma
Here are the types of Mesothelioma:
1. Mesothelioma pleura (lung membrane)
This type is the most common of all mesothelioma. Usually caused by the frequent inhaling of asbestos fiber dust, which is then trapped in the pleura and causes scarring and inflammation.
2. Peritoneal mesothelioma (the abdominal cavity)
The second most common type develops in the peritoneum, the tissue that lines the stomach. As with pleural mesothelioma, the cause is dust and asbestos fibers that either swallow or find a way to the digestive tract so that it settles and develops in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
3. Pericardial mesothelioma (sac encasing the heart)
Mesothelioma is ranked third most often that attacks the tissue lining the heart. The cause is also asbestos, and this cancer develops from abnormal cells that have developed in the pleura. Somehow the process, but this asbestos dust can penetrate into the pericardium and develop in the heart membrane.
4. Mesothelioma of the testes tunica vaginalis (the internal layer of male sex organs) and Mesothelioma uteri tunika serosa (internal membrane of female sex organs)
