Mesothelioma Is A Deadly Disease

Mesothelioma is the cancer that develops in the lungs from exposure to asbestos. You don't hear as much about asbestos as much as you used to, but you do hear about those with mesothelioma as a result of having being exposed to asbestos. Some researchers think even a single strand of asbestos can trigger asbestos, which is a frightening thought. It is a terrible disease; there is no cure and the outlook for one with mesothelioma is poor. But there are clinical trials going on, and it seems as if people who are treated at a hospital with a clinical trial fare better. With clinnical trials going on, you know the treatment and survival rates will only get better.
