Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs, while technically traditional lung cancer goes after the tissue of the lungs.
Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma. Smoking is often the primary cause of lung cancer. However, individuals who have been exposed to asbestos and who also smoke are much likelier to develop lung cancer.
There are different types of mesothelioma. While pleural mesothelioma refers specifically to cancer in the lining of the lungs, mesothelioma can develop in the lining of the heart or stomach.
