Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor found in cells of the mesothelium, a tissue that covers internal organs (pleura, pericardium, peritoneum). The development of mesothelioma is triggered by the exposure to asbestos and virus SV40 infection. It affects people over 40 years old most often. Healing mesothelioma is very hard as the disease is very rare and hard to diagnose, the prognoses are very poor.
