Malignant epithelioid mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma, a cancer mainly caused by exposure to asbestos. This type of cancer develops when the cells that form the outer layer of tissues, called epithelioid cells, become cancerous after being exposed to asbestos fibers.
Many sufferers of Malignant Epithelioid Mesothelioma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from rare cancers such as Malignant Epithelioid Mesothelioma. We have recently created an Malignant Epithelioid Mesothelioma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
