Mesothelioma is a rare and serious cancer that affects the mesothelium, or lining, of various organs. The most common cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure and you are at risk of developing this cancer if you have been exposed to asbestos.
More than 80 percent of pleural mesothelioma patients and up to half of peritoneal mesothelioma patients have a known history of asbestos exposure.
"The military relied heavily on asbestos for decades, using it in many of their products like in ships, aircraft and barracks. Because of this, veterans are more likely than others to be affected by mesothelioma cancer, making up almost 1/3 of all cases."
