Cancer is able to occur in almost all of our body part even in places that we never thought like throats. Some types of cancer can be easily removed such as breast cancer, but there are types of cancer that almost impossible to be removed. One type of cancer than cannot be easily removed is mesothelioma. This cancer occurs in mesothelium, a cover of internal organs. The main cause of this cancer is the exhalation of asbestos and its substances. Mesothelioma is quite difficult to handle because it can spread easily and it can only diagnosed when the mesothelioma level is reaching advance level. Most of mesothelioma patients are only have eight to twelve months age after the mesothelioma prognosis, but it depends on the patients’ condition. If the patient has good health condition, he/ she can survive to two years.
