In the second type, the tumors are developed in the peritoneum. What is peritoneum? The peritoneum is the membrane surrounding the outside exterior wall of some organs in the abdominal cavity.

Why is it so? Scientists are not exactly how this type of cancer occurs, but the prospect that the inhalation of asbestos is the main cause of this cancer. As a result of the inhalation of asbestos, the materials move from chest cavity to the peritoneum throughout the blood.

Some information on the word "asbestos", which is asbestos? Asbestos are several types of materials that were used in the past in the construction factories. Workers that were exposed to these materials are the most people who develop mesothelioma cancer.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma is less common, but still very dangerous disease, the symptoms of this disease take a long time to appear "23-50 years", after this very long period, the symptoms that appear show abdominal pains, general weakness and intestinal obstruction resulted from the growth of the tumors.
