Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that occur in the lung’s external lining or what we usually call as pleura and digestive tract or what we usually call as peritoneum. The cancer is associated with asbestos exposure. Most mesothelioma patients are seniors above 65 years old. The research state that the massive mesothelioma exposure was happened during the industrial area when there are so many railways, streets, industries were built. The mesothelioma death is mostly occurring in people who were working in the industrial era.

The industrial era and the impact were passed, but it does not mean that mesothelioma death is decreasing and even gone because the statistic still show great number of mesothelioma death. According to HSE that was making a statistic in Great Britain area, the number of mesothelioma death is relatively increasing.
People who are suffering from Mesothelioma are spread in all Great Britain area. Mesothelioma death in Plymouth, South Tyneside, West Dunbartonshire and several other areas are mainly cause by asbestos exposure in shipbuilding industry. On the other parts of Great Britain, the mesothelioma death is cause by railway building and other industries. Mesothelioma is not an infectious disease, but the spreading of the disease is so easy because asbestos particles are very flexible and able to attach to clothes.
Mesothelioma death is dominated by men. Only fifteen percent of women suffer from mesothelioma. The statistic taken by HSE is mesothelioma death record in1981 to 2000. The mesothelioma death in those years was cause by industrial asbestos exposure in 70’s. The asbestos in the body need some times to be mesothelioma and increase to the advance stage, but unfortunately, the diagnosis can be done in the early stage, so people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma will have little chance to survive. Most of them were not even survive within six months.
