Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma

Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that develops in the lining of the lungs or abdomen, often linked to asbestos exposure. It involves abnormal, elongated cells called sarcomatoid cells that can grow rapidly and spread quickly. This form tends to be harder to treat and has a poorer prognosis compared to other types of mesothelioma. Symptoms may include chest pain, difficulty breathing, or abdominal swelling. Due to its aggressive nature, early diagnosis and specialized treatment are crucial, but overall, sarcomatoid mesothelioma remains a challenging disease with limited effective options.
