Mesothelioma is known to be a very aggressive type of cancer. Even though the genetic changes that result in the development of the disease usually take a long time, the tumor spreads very quickly to different structures of the body. 

The aggression of the cancer is influenced by the location of the tumor. It usually develops in the thoracic or abdominal cavity, easily affecting the lungs, the heart, and other nearby structures. However, mesothelioma rarely spreads to the brain or the bones.

 

We wanted a resource where people who are looking for better help can find it, because one of the issues that I have found is that the diagnosis takes a little bit, some people don’t know if they are diagnosed or not. This is something that it is important enough, that is why I wanted to put the information together.
