Significant weight loss

With the progressing condition of mesothelioma cancer in the human body, there is significant weight loss as the muscle wasting starts getting rapid day by day. Moreover, the excruciating pain resulting from the malignant mesothelioma, also kills the urge to eat properly, which ultimately causes weight loss in the patient. Weight loss is the symptom that is almost common in every type of malignant mesothelioma. Especially in the peritoneal type of mesothelioma, there is tenderness and swelling of the abdominal walls. The tenderness and swelling of the abdominal walls become a driving factor in weight loss and might also lead to vomiting or nausea.
