| | What is Mesothelioma? - Mesothelioma Asbestos Cancer Information |
 | | Pleural mesothelioma asbestos cancer affects the mesothelium surrounding the chest and lungs, and peritoneal mesothelioma affects the mesothelium surrounding the abdomen. | | | This tissue secretes fluid that lubricates the two layers of the mesothelium, which allows organs in the chest and abdomen to freely slide against one another during movement and normal organ functions such as breathing, digestion and heartbeat. | | | When tiny asbestos fibers are taken into the body through inhalation, they typically make their way into the lungs, and can lead to scarring and a condition called asbestosis. |

| | The mesothelium, obviously, has a very important function; in essence to provide a protective sheath for the body's internal organs. | | | Stage 3, advanced mesothelioma - tumor growth has spread into several, or all of these areas: the chest wall, the center of the chest, the heart, and throughout the diaphragm. | | | It is this "fluid sac" that allows an individual's heart and lungs to expand and contract safely and, when it's functioning is impaired, a person may experience pain, compression, and the feeling of being unable to breathe. |

| | What is the Mesothelium? |
| | The mesothelium and its associated cancerous condition, mesothelioma, is relatively unknown by most people. | | | Mesothelioma is a cancerous disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control. | | | They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs and the cancer cells can also spread from their original site to other parts of the body. |

| | The Mesothelium |
| | The mesothelium is a membrane that covers many of the internal organs in the human body. | | | Depending on its location in the body, the mesothelium can be referred to by many different names. | | | Mesothelioma usually begins in the pleura or peritoneum, and eventually spreads to other organs and tissues throughout the body. |

| | Exposure to asbestos has also been determined to cause a very serious form of cancer, mesothelioma, that occurs in the chest and abdominal cavities. | | | This aggressive disease is not properly referred to as a lung cancer, as the malignant cells are derived from the mesothelium, a tissue found on the inner walls of the chest and abdominal cavities and on the outer surface of the lungs rather than in the lung itself. | | | In the United States alone, it is estimated that ten thousand people die each year of asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer. |

| | Mesothelium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. | | | The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the beating heart, the expanding and contracting lungs, and peristaltically active intestine) to glide easily against adjacent structures. | | | It develops into the layer of cells that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. |

| | As mentioned above, the evidence that some growth factors stimulate hyaluronan production by mesothelial cells, and that reactive mesothelium expresses CD44, leads us to consider the importance of CD44 in peritoneal or pleural metastasis of cancer (34,35,37-40). | | | Pretreatment of mesothelium with hyaluronidase also inhibits the binding of ovarian tumor cells to mesothelium, suggesting that tumor CD44 recognizes hyaluronate on mesothelium. | | | This section considers the roles of CD44 in adhesion of tumor cells to mesothelium in peritoneal dissemination. |
