The most common cause of mesothelioma lies in asbestos exposure. Asbestos fibers get stuck in tissues and cause DNA damage. The result is that cells transform into mesothelioma cancer cells. Symptoms Mesothelioma is a type of cancer, affects tissues that connect and protect organs in the body. to asbestos fibers may cause the cells to change and grow into mesothelioma cancers. The majority of mesothelioma cases are located in the lungs. It can also occur in the tissues of the abdomen, the heart and testicles. The most frequent mesothelioma-related symptoms are shortness of breath coughing, chest pain and chest pain. Patients also feel abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss. These symptoms are akin to other diseases and are difficult to diagnose, especially in the beginning stages of mesothelioma. The symptoms of mesothelioma could not appear for years or even decades following asbestos exposure. A physical examination and a patient's health history are the first step to diagnose mesothelioma. To determine the severity of symptoms doctors may recommend tests for blood and imaging scans. These scans include CT (computer-tomography) scans as well as MRI and PET scans (positron emission Tomography). X-rays may reveal a mass or fluid that is not normal in the lungs. These scans may help the doctor determine the location of the mesothelioma and the kind of mesothelioma. The two most common types of mesothelioma are sarcomatoid and epithelioid. About 70% of mesothelioma are epithelioid. Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma has a worse prognosis and is less common than epithelioid. The majority of patients with pleural cancer have a nonproductive, painful cough and breathing problems. In some cases, a person with pleural mesothelioma may have an abnormal heart murmur, a co
