Definition

ADULT MALIGNANT MESOTHELIOMA is a rare form of cancer that attacks the pleural membrane around the lungs. Unlike other lung cancer, mesothelioma develops in the lining that envelops the lungs, not inside the lungs themselves. [Source: Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society; Mesothelioma, Adult Malignant]
