Causes Of Pleural Mesothelioma
August 28, 2018
Mesothelioma had very little medicinal acknowledgment until the 1900s. It was during this century that medical researchers discovered the main cause of the disease: exposure to asbestos. As industries all over the world expanded their use of asbestos, the rates of mesothelioma climbed drastically higher. Studies were published, proving the inhalation or swallowing of microscopic asbestos fibers could start chain reactions leading to different cancers. Though asbestos is overwhelmingly the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, there are some rare cases where the disease is unrelated to it. This is a breakdown of the leading causes of the disease, from asbestos exposure to rarer ones.
