		<title>Mesothelioma Settlement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A legal settlement takes place when there is an agreement that is reached between two disputing parties in a legal case.

		<title>Mesothelioma Diagnosis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diagnosis of mesothelioma usually begins with a review a patient&#8217;s medical history, particularly to determine whether there has been a history of asbestos exposure.  Following the review, doctors typically perform physical examinations, lung function tests, imaging scans, and other procedures to determine signs pointing to mesothelioma cancer.
X-Ray Mesothelioma Diagnostics

		<title>Malignant Mesothelioma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Malignant Mesothelioma, sometimes referred to as simply mesothelioma, is a type of cancer that affects the protective lining of the body&#8217;s internal organs called the mesothelium.  The cancer develops in patients who have had a history of exposure to asbestos and is caused by asbestos dust or fibers entering the body and becoming lodged in the mesothelium.  With prolonged irritation from the asbestos fibers, inflammation begins to develop and thereafter causes fluid buildup and thickening of the walls of the mesothelium.  Scarring develops, and eventually tumors begin ...]]></description>
