Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma Cancer
By Sean Shahin

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma cancer is differ from pleural mesothelioma according to the place of growing tumors. In the peritoneal cancer the tumors develop on the peritoneum. The peritoneum is the outer membrane surrounds the outer wall of some internal organs in the abdominal cavity. The scientists can't know exactly how this type of cancer occur, but the closest prospect explains that the inhalation of Asbestos is the main reason for this cancer. After the inhalation of asbestos, these materials move from the chest to the abdominal cavity throughout the blood stream.

The above information will take us to the word "Asbestos", what are Asbestos? Asbestos are some types of materials that were used in the past for the construction manufacturing. Workers that were dealing with these materials are the most people who can develop mesothelioma.

The malignant peritoneal mesothelioma cancer is less common but still a very dangerous disease. The treatment options here can be surgery, chemotherapy "by using some drugs" and radiation therapy by using some kinds of radiations like x-rays and gamma rays.
