This is in part because it usually occurs years after asbestos exposure.
The majority of people exposed to asbestos develop pleural msothelioma. The cancer develops in the lung's lining as well as the chest wall. However, they may also develop peritoneal melanoma, located in the abdomen, or testicular mesothelioma in the testes of males.
