Overcome the current Mesothelioma life expectancy.
Discover the facts you need about all forms of this disease, including Peritoneal Mesothelioma.
Australia has one of the highest incidences of mesothelioma in the world, largely due to its extensive use and mining of asbestos. Deaths from mesothelioma were reported at 416 in 1997 and 522 in 2005 within Australia. Government experts believe that because mesothelioma has such a long latency period - often 20 to 50 years, incidence of the disease in Australia will not peak until after 2010, perhaps as late as 2017. In total, about 18,000 cases are expected by the year 2020, according to a University of Sydney study.
