Through the years, the disease called mesothelioma, or epithelial malignant mesothelioma, has been gaining popularity. Epithelial malignant mesothelioma is the most common form of mesothelioma. It is because epithelial malignant mesothelioma is caused by inhalation of very tiny asbestos particles.
Fifty to seventy percent of malignant mesothelioma is considered epithelial malignant mesothelioma. Epithelial malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer that effects the epithelial or tissue membranes that line the organs. Mesothelioma is cancer to any of the tissues that surround internal organs. Sixty percent of epithelial malignant mesothelioma occurs in the pleural tissues of the lungs.
Patients with this form of cancer may respond more favourably to treatment. An epithelioid cell is a mesenchymal cell whose morphology resembles that of epithelial cells. An important point to note is that malignant epithelioid mesothelioma cells very closely resemble cells of another type of cancer known as adenocarcinoma.
