MALIGNANT MESOTHELIOMA

Malignant mesothelioma (MM)  is a highly invasive tumor  arising from the mesothelial cells of serosal surfaces. It shows an extremely poor  progression and is diagnosed mostly in locally advanced  or metastatic stage, thus  drastically limiting its  treatment options. Past asbestos  exposure has been shown to  be the most important predictor of MM, although other  environmental and genetic  factors like Simian Virus-40 (SV-40) infection and genetic  predisposition might also  play important roles.
