Mesothelioma Cancer

• Mesothelioma is treated by members of the BC Cancer Agency’s Lung Tumour Group.
• For healthcare professional information on treating this cancer, please see our Cancer Management Guidelines.
• The mesothelium is a thin membrane that surrounds the inner organs in the body.  It produces a fluid that lubricates the outer surface of the organ so it can slide against other organs.  For example, the fluid makes it easier for the lungs to move inside the chest while a person breathes.
• Mesothelioma can occur in the chest (pleural), abdomen (peritoneal) and sometimes the heart (pericardial).
• The most common type of mesothelioma is pleural (in the chest) in the lining outside of the lungs.
