Some technical information on mesothelioma:

Chest pain and dyspnea are the most common symptoms of pleural mesothelioma.(15,16) The chest pain is characteristically nonpleuritic and varies in intensity from mild to incapacitating. Constitutional symptoms such as fever, weight loss and weakness are not uncommon. Despite the proven link between asbestos and mesothelioma, fewer than 50 percent of studied patients relate a definite history of asbestos exposure. This low figure may simply be a matter of inaccurate histories in persons with a disease that has a 20- to 50-year latency period or may reflect exposure to various dusts or chemicals presently unrecognized as etiologic factors, unrecognized incidental exposure or other etiologic mechanisms.
