Asbestos was a popular material in the building industry, the fibres material was widely used in many countries around the world until 1980 when countries inside the EU and others around the world made it's use illegal.

Once Asbestos is inhaled or swallowed it can remain in the body and make toxins that in turn create really awful illness that include, Mesothelioma (peritoneal mesothelioma cancer), gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and others.

Peritoneal mesothelioma (known more commonly as Asbestos Cancer) is the most common illness related to Asbestos. There are 4 types of Mesothelioma cancer, Pleural, Peritoneal, Testicular, and Pericardial. Experts report that as we learned more about mesothelioma that 70% of cases of Mesothelioma cancer are pleural in origin.

3000+ cases of mesothelioma cancer are reported in the USA each year and more are expected as time goes on. Peritoneal mesothelioma is oftentimes not diagnosed until the later stages of the illness; this is because symptoms tend to be noticed later in the illness, between 20 to 50 years after exposure.

The main reason of late diagnosis is that symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma are the same as more common illnesses such as colds and influenza.

More about mesothelioma needs to be carried out through research and experimentation so we can diagnoses the problem and start treatment earlier.
