Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that affects the tissue around your internal organs – often the lungs, abdomen, heart, or testes. Mesothelioma is rare, and is most commonly caused by exposure to asbestos.
Common symptoms of mesothelioma include:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Muscle weakness
- Swelling
Mesothelioma can mimic other more common cancers, making it difficult to diagnose. If you have had prolonged asbestos exposure, consult a doctor about regular testing to ensure the best prognosis possible.
