What are the three types of mesothelioma?
(1) Pleural mesothelioma, the most common form, affects the lining surrounding the lungs and chest cavity. (2) Peritoneal mesothelioma attacks the cell membrane around the inside of the abdomen. (3) Pericardial mesothelioma, the rarest form, damages the cells in the sac around the heart. All three are terminal.
