When the famous Australian anti-racism activist Bob Bellear died in 2005 of mesothelioma, not until then did the disease started becoming popular. Mesothelioma occurs in different forms of which pleural mesothelioma is one.
Pleura mesothelioma is a form of mesothelioma that occurs around the lungs and respiratory area of the chest region. It attacks the cell and the linings of the lungs which are known as the pleura, hence the name pleura.
It do start from the lungs and in some cases spread to other parts of the body including the brain thereby causing more damage than not
Sometimes it occur in two forms- benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) but malignant is the most common of the two.
It is the most common form of mestheolima, 7-8 out of every 10 cases of mesothelioma cases are mesothelioma of the pleura. Due to the nature of this disease it might take 30-50years before the symptoms start to surface after being exposed to asbestos. This makes the disease not to be known until when it is too late.
