http://www.maacenter.org  The Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the lining of the body's internal organs, a thin layer of cells known as the mesothelium, which gives mesothelioma its name. While very thin, this layer of cells is vitally important to organ function and the health of the inner body structures. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma occurs in the pleural lining of the lungs and is the most common form of the disease. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs within the peritoneum, which lines the abdominal cavity and is the second most common form of the disease. Pericardial mesothelioma is the rarest variety of the disease and occurs in the pericardial lining of the heart. The primary cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, though other factors, such as smoking may increase the likeliness of mesothelioma in certain individuals.
Many ships in the Royal Navy and the U.S Navy had asbestos built into them. Accordingly, many ex-servicemen suffer from this disease today. A visit to this site may therefore be of value to ex-navy personnel.

http://www.mesotheliomaweb.org  Mesothelioma - Information & Support
For those diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lung (pleura) or the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), finding a credible source of information about the disease itself and the medical options available, is of the highest priority. After years of research and synthesis of information, we have assembled a web site and packet for patients and their loved ones. We hope you find this web site helpful.

http://www.lungcancer-prognosis.com   Lung Cancer Answers

 An informational website about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of lung cancer, including details on the different types of lung cancer and how doctors determine which stage the cancer is in. Screening techniques for lung cancer and the epidemiology of the disease are explained. This is a non-profit site with no connections to any pharmaceutical companies or treatment centres.

Many naval veterans contract lung cancer after being exposed to asbestos when they were in the service.
