in the United States, accounting for 3 percent of all cancers in American
women. Pleural Mesothelioma is a type of mesothelioma, a rare cancer that develops in the lungs. Mesothelioma as well as Ovarian Cancer can be
caused by exposure to asbestos, which was used in talc powder and the manufacturing of gas masks in WWII by female workers and in both

cancer. Our website has the most up to date and comprehensive information
