The Mesothelioma SOS Glossary - Pleural Mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma affects the mesothelium between the lungs and the ribs. Malignant mesothelioma accounts for about 75% of all pleural mesothelioma cases, and is typically not diagnosed until symptoms appear, about 20-30 years after infection occurs. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include the following: shortness of breath, weakness, weight loss, chest pain, loss of appetite, back pain, coughing and difficulty swallowing. While mesothelioma has been diagnosed in patients before symptoms appear, most people with mesothelioma are not aware of the cancer until symptoms become present.
