<description><![CDATA[Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the mesothelium, a membranous lining that surrounds the internal organs. The mesothelium that encloses the lungs is called the pleura; so pleural mesothelioma is the term used to refer to this cancer when it affects the lining of the lungs. The pleura is actually the most common location for this cancer to take hold. This is because the contaminants that cause the disease (usually asbestos fibers) enter the body through the airway and lodge in the lungs. However, it is important to note that pleural mesothelioma is not lung cancer.]]></description>

Every integer of mesothelioma statistics is a story of human tragedy. People with lives, families & FULL NAMES. But because they represent a growing threat in general, they are added up together & disconnected from the whole people they were individually. This phenomenon is represented in this story, in which the lead character is not referred to by any name as well. Neither are others in the story. Therefore, it stays true to very case we have in our time today. Faceless people, bundled up to give numbers that are reported in a hurry, in form of statistics. Asbestos & Mesothelioma Statistics.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are many people who are not aware of mesothelioma. However, this disease accounts for more than 10% of deaths every year. This is actually a rare form of cancer that occurs in the lining of the lungs due to exposure to asbestos. This is the reason for which it is often known as asbestos cancer, as well. Prolonged exposure to the fibers of asbestos attacks the cells that are lining the sacs of the chest and the abdomen. Apart from the lungs, some other important parts of the body are also affected. However, the symptoms of this cancer are prevalent after a long period of time when it becomes very difficult to treat the symptoms. In most cases, it has been found that people who were associated with asbestos firms were generally attacked with mesothelioma cancer.]]></description>
