What is Mesothelioma? Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura) or abdomen (the peritoneum). Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed asbestos. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, pain in the chest, or pain or swelling in the abdomen. Doctors can confirm the diagnosis with a biopsy of the tissue in the region. After reviewing the biopsy results, the physician can offer a prognosis for recovery or treatment. That prognosis will be dependent upon the size of the cancer, where the cancer is, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope, how the cancer responds to treatment, and the patient’s age.
