Peritoneal mesothelioma, like other forms of mesothelioma, shows a very long latency period, and not until 20-30 years after asbestos exposure days before they show symptoms typical. But by then it will be too late to control the disease or provide any treatment or medication constructive. In addition, a delayed diagnosis of cancer can occur due to the fact that most of the symptoms of mesothelioma are not specific and may resemble that of some other less common and serious diseases. For example, mesothelioma symptoms include anemia, fever, weight loss, abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction, and it is likely that the doctor initially may consider other options that cancer. Therefore, the patient telling the doctor about any exposure to asbestos in the first one-on-one interaction it is very important, and that helps the doctor to think about a possible threat even before considering mesothelioma alternatives.
