Occupational exposure to asbestos can cause workers to develop deadly health problems,
including mesothelioma, decades after they were exposed. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or
swallowed, they never leave the body because they are too strong to be broken down. Instead,
the fibers get stuck in healthy cell tissue, slowly causing irritation. This irritation may lead to
inflammation, scarring, and cancer.

Peritoneal mesothelioma forms in the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) and makes up around
10% of all mesothelioma cases. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and fluid buildup in
the abdomen. Although mesothelioma often has a poor health outlook (prognosis), peritoneal
mesothelioma patients may live 5 years or longer in many cases. Treatment options can help
patients live longer.
