Dear readers, many of my friends asked me to explain this deadliest disease in a very simple language or you can say that in a layman's language. I tried to explain it in that way, now you are the judge as to how far I could succeed in doing my job.
But before I do let me tell where the word "Cancer" came from. The word "Cancer" came from the Latin word "cancer" which means a crab (which is also the fourth sign of the Zodiac). This is probably because the appearance of some advanced cancers looks as if they are sprouting out tentacles/claws, somewhat like the general appearance of an entire crab.
Now back to Mesothelioma which is the medical name for cancer of the Lung, Heart and the Abdomen lining. According to The National Cancer Institute, malignant Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the Sac lining of the Chest (pleura), the Abdomen (peritoneum), or the Heart (pericardium).
In other words we can say that Mesothelioma (cancer of the Mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the Mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura{Chest} or peritoneum{Abdomen}.
We can also say that Mesothelioma is a benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous) Tumor affecting the lining of the Chest, Abdomen and Heart.
