Peritoneal mesothelioma is a type of cancer located in the area of the body called the peritoneum. The result of asbestos exposure, peritoneal mesothelioma is often fatal. Since workers were at the highest risk for asbestos exposure, and thus peritoneal mesothelioma, the peritoneal mesothelioma was often able to progress to later stages before diagnosis because companies did not alert workers that they were being exposed to a carcinogenic mineral. For years asbestos companies failed to protect workers and surrounding communities from the risk of peritoneal mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is located in the abdomen so it is common to experience peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and other effects. Unaware of the hazards of asbestos exposure, workers often associated peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms to other factors until the symptoms worsened and were no longer tolerable. Now companies are finally paying for the peritoneal mesothelioma cases suffered from asbestos exposure and other side effects that have resulted in a multibillion-dollar litigation crisis in the U.S. For more information on peritoneal mesothelioma, please contact us.
