Mesothelioma, a disease related to exposure to asbestos is a disease that could be best described by the term “stealth.” You can go to incredible length of time (even fifty years or more, in some cases) and remain virtually undetectable. When symptoms occur, X-rays, CT (CAT) Scans, PET scans, and MRI may be useful in acquiring data for diagnosis. However, even in its advanced degree of dissemination and increased deployment of mesothelial-related symptoms, remains difficult to identify conclusively.

A diagnosis of mesothelioma can only occur after a biopsy, together with the pathological evidence. Other similar tumors and cancers can still be very susceptible to mesothelioma misdiagnosis and only an expert in the field is likely to have the experience and knowledge to make a final assessment.
