Malignant Mesothelioma
This is a tumour of the pleura (lining of the chest wall) and is the most serious complication of asbestos exposure. It takes a long time to develop and can be caused by a single fibre of asbestos.
The symptoms of malignant mesothelioma include severe breathlessness that occurs over a relatively short period of time and is usually associated with some chest pain or discomfort.
Malignant mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose on examination and often requires surgical procedures to confirm a diagnosis.
