Primarily caused by asbestos exposure, mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs or abdomen and in some cases the lining of the heart. Symptoms of the cancer resemble less serious conditions, which usually contributes to a late diagnosis.

The Mesothelioma Center offers assistance through reading materials, a Doctor Match program, and Patient & Family Advocates that are available to discuss support options and answer your questions.
