The cancer develops in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is the tissue that lines our organs. It lines the pleural cavity (chest area), peritoneum (abdominal cavity) and pericardium (heart cavity). Mesothelioma has a very long latency period. It takes a while for the cancer to show up - about 40-45 years and is very fatal. Read more
