What are the common signs and symptoms of malignant mesothelioma?
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 10 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, pain in the chest, pleural effusion (fluid surrounding the lung), wheezing, hoarseness, cough, weight loss, abdominal swelling and bowel obstruction. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, do not hesitate in contacting your physician or health care provider.
