Mesothelioma.net, is one of the most comprehensive online resources on Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure, and is sponsored by The American Cancer Society, the MD Cancer Center, and the Make a Wish Foundation.

In the past our Military relied on asbestos in various settings, including buildings, vehicles, aircraft, and ships due to its low cost, availability, fireproofing and heat-resistant properties. Consequently, veterans have a higher incidence of mesothelioma, with nearly one-third of cases being diagnosed in this group.
