Mesothelioma is caused by asbestosexposure and its symptoms are quite similar to the normalproblems of aging - pain in the chest, backache, pain orswelling in the abdomen and shortness of breath. The first fewsigns of mesothelioma are difficulty in swallowing, cough,fever, sweating, fatigue, and weight loss. However, with growingawareness and more information about asbestos disease, one candiagnose it in the early stage and could avoid seriousramifications of this disease. Law Suits and Industries In the recent past, the growing information about asbestosdisease has led to a growth in the number of mesothelioma andasbestos related lawsuits. People suffering from asbestosdiseases are filing lawsuits to recover compensation against theowners of industry causing asbestos exposure. The courts haveruled the cases in favor of victims and issued strict awardsagainst the industries for their negligent behavior.
