Each year in the United States, about 3,000 individuals get diagnosed with mesothelioma, a relatively rare form of cancer. But the disease doesn’t occur immediately, and a person’s average age upon diagnosis of pleural (chest) mesothelioma is 72.
Despite mesothelioma being a rare cancer type, it can still affect anyone, regardless of status or occupation.
The Mesothelioma Group website provides an informative source of knowledge for mesothelioma stages, diagnosis, and treatment options.
