Mesothelioma Website Releases Alarming Article about Malignant Mesothelioma and Victims' Rights
According to the New Article on Mesothelioma.us, over 3,000 People a Year are Diagnosed with Malignant Mesothelioma
HOUSTON, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mesothelioma.us, a top-notch website that offers helpful and in-depth resources for mesothelioma patients, has just released an alarming article that focuses on malignant mesothelioma and victims' rights.
As the newly-posted article on http://mesothelioma.us/ explains, there are two main types of mesothelioma tumors: benign and malignant. While the benign tumors are non-cancerous, the malignant mesothelioma tumors are typically cancerous and quite serious.
Although malignant mesothelioma used to be quite rare, the article noted that patients are now testing positive for this serious form of cancer at an increased rate that has many oncologists concerned.
"Today, there are at least 14 cases per million persons in the United States that develop malignant mesothelioma each year," the article said, adding that this means that over 3,000 people are diagnosed with the disease annually.
To make matters even more serious, the number of malignant mesothelioma cases may be even higher, as there are situations where mesothelioma is not diagnosed properly.
Mesothelioma is known as a deadly disease because most patients pass away within two years of their diagnosis, the article said. Unfortunately, getting the correct diagnosis can be tricky at times, since the symptoms are confused with an asthmatic condition or lung infection and by the time it is diagnosed correctly it is often too late.
If there is a silver lining to the serious situation with malignant mesothelioma, it is that scientists and doctors now know what causes the disease. Steps are being taken to ensure that people are not exposed to the dangerous asbestos fibers that have been linked to mesothelioma.
"If you have worked in any industry that has exposed you to asbestos you should have your doctor check for the development of mesothelioma," the article said, adding that Mesothelioma.us also offers free information packets.
"Early detection can provide alternative treatments that can alleviate and even stop the spread of this disease."
