Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos can be found in many 
homes, schools, and office buildings. The disease can arise from small exposures, and even as much as 50 years later. As a result, each year 3,000 Americans and many thousands more worldwide develop mesothelioma, and millions of us are at risk. Visit our Mesothelioma health topic where you will find current information and answers to your questions.
