Both manufacturers and scientists have been aware for years that asbestos can cause the deadly lung cancer mesothelioma and other heart-related problems. However, manufacturers failed to notify the general public, so many mesothelioma cancer patients were breathing the dangerous substance long before they knew of its harmful nature. Very often and unfortunately, the patients who get diagnosed with mesothelioma find out about it much too late for them to recover.. Many patients do not feel or show any symptoms for up to thirty years after initial exposure. By the time the patients get diagnosed, the cancer becomes near unstoppable that these patients' prognoses look grim.

When fibers of asbestos are inhaled or consumed, they become trapped in the lining of the heart, lungs, and/or abdomen, causing inflammation. When this inflammation happens, the DNA inside these tissues' cells mutate, resulting in uncontrolled cell division and growth.

Mesothelioma is the cancer that is caused by this process, and it is one of the deadliest and most aggressive kinds of cancer. Patients who have been diagnosed with Stage 3 or higher are estimated to live from six months to a year.

Mesothelioma stages are the levels that medical professionals use to diagnose the illness. The levels range from Stage 1 to Stage 4. Stage 1 is characterized as localized disease, where the tumor affecting a limited area and organ tissues. Stage 4, on the opposite extreme, is extensive disease, where the tumor has grown to affect multiple tissues, including blood or bone tissues.

Basic staging can be determined by the use of many different diagnostic techniques, including imaging scans, which provides cancer specialists with a visual representation of the extent of the tumor within the body. If the imaging scan is unclear or if it appears that the disease is not localized, a physician can demand other diagnostic tests to be performed which may involve using a needle or surgical biopsy. A biopsy can be performed to determine if the malignant tumor cells have metastasized to the lymph or blood nodes.
