Pericardial Mesothelioma
Pericardial Mesothelioma is the most rare cancer linked to asbestos exposure. It is when cancer grows in the tissue surrounding the heart.
Early signs indicating pericardial mesothelioma may include heart palpatations, coughing, chest pain, or dyspnea.
Treatment options may include aggressive attempts to remove the growth. Depending on the patients age and the stage of cancer, it may be decided to focus exlusively on quality of life rather than surgery.
