The Rate of Abdominal Mesothelioma Cancer Cases

Between 100 and 500 cases of abdominal mesothelioma are diagnosed each year in the U.S. Abdominal/peritoneal mesothelioma is not as common as pleural mesothelioma(chest), and it happens to men and women with equal frequency. Abdominal mesothelioma is nearly always traceable to asbestos cancer exposure.
