Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs (known as the mesothelium). The area most commonly affected is the lining of the lungs and chest wall. Less commonly the lining of the abdomen and rarely the sac surrounding the heart, or the sac surrounding the testis may be affected. Signs and symptoms of mesothelioma may include shortness of breath due to fluid around the lung, a swollen abdomen, chest wall pain, cough, feeling tired, and weight loss. These symptoms typically come on slowly.

In the present book, twelve typical literatures about mesothelioma published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on mesothelioma. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in mesothelioma as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
