Mesothelioma is a
rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are
found in the sac lining the chest or abdomen. Exposure to
airborne asbestos particles increases the risk of developing
malignant mesothelioma.
Companies manufacturing products containing asbestos have
known for over 60 years that asbestos can cause serious diseases.
Unfortunately, many of these companies, wanting to increase
their profits, kept this information quiet, seriously endangering
their workers.
There are now laws helping protect workers who have been harmed
by their exposure to these asbestos-related products.
Mesothelioma has a long latency period and it's important
to determine who needs to be examined. This long silent period
makes diagnosis difficult and symptoms may sometimes be mistaken
for something else. Treatment
options are often determined by your stage
of mesothelioma.
The asbestos industry should be made financially responsible for the devastation they caused. Contact us today to explore what financial recovery may be available.
