Mesothelioma is one of the rarest kinds of cancer. Every year in the United States, approximately 2,000 cases are diagnosed. 

The disease is caused because of the exposure to asbestos, with 70 to 80 per cent of all cases.

Eighty percent of cases who suffer from pleural mesothelioma are those who have been exposed to asbestos, but only 10% of those with a known history of heavy exposure develop the disease.
