Significant weight loss
With the progression of mesothelioma cancer in the human body, substantial weight loss occurs as the rate of muscle wasting increases daily. In addition, the excruciating pain caused by malignant mesothelioma suppresses the patient’s desire to consume, which ultimately results in weight loss. Almost every form of malignant mesothelioma is associated with weight loss as a symptom. Particularly in the peritoneal type of mesothelioma, abdominal walls are tender and swollen. The tenderness and swelling of the abdominal walls become a propelling force in weight loss and may also cause nausea or vomiting.
