PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA

Peritoneal Mesothelioma is the name given to the cancer that attacks the lining of the stomach. As with any mesothelioma this cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos and it affects the lining that protects the abdomen and that provides a lubricant to the organs to help them work and move around properly. The cancer normally spreads throughout the stomach and surrounding organs which makes it hard to detect but even harder to treat. This particular cancer is accountable for about 10 percent of the mesothelioma cases and most often times have ended in death. It is also the second most common mesothelioma cancer.
