Though the world is moving fast on technological front, we are not caring about the bad effects that are in store. There are many new diseases cropping up because of excessive pollution and poor air quality. But we are not paying enough attention to the health hazards rampant in the society. Though not new, malignant mesothelioma is also a health hazard that arises because of lack of safety measures in asbestos industry. It is in short an occupational hazard that haunts the people after many years of exposure.

That is why it has become mandatory for the people and various organizations to take note of the disease. The government bodies are also trying hard to put an end to the menace of asbestos exposure. The people have become aware that a simple good fitting facial mask can prevent them from acquiring the cancer. 

Whatever the means taken, still the disease is rampant throughout many developing countries where the employers are not concerned about the health status of the employees. This makes the employees catch serious cancer during later years of life. It affects primarily the pleura that is lining of chest cavity. Also it may affect peritoneal cavity and pericardial cavity. Wherever it affects it never localizes itself. It always spreads though not very fast. But as the diagnosis is difficult to make initially, many patients are diagnosed in later stages, thus making treatment difficult. The mesothelioma doctors should be consulted as early as one can to avoid complications.
