Cancer caused by inhalation of Asbestos is Mesothelioma. Asbestos are some materials used by construction manufacturers.

During its latency period it destroys the mucous-producing membrane that lines the outer surface of a number of organs.
Mesothelioma destroys healthy cells over a period of decades by assaulting: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, biphasic cells.

Epithelioid mesothelioma cells are the most common and treat of all types of mesothelioma. This type of cell appears to be a papillary or tubular growth that affects the outer membranes and linings of the internal organs.

Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is the second type of mesothelioma. This is the most serious form of the disease, as it is the least likely to respond to treatment. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is dangerous because it attacks and arises from the support tissues of the body, such as bone, cartilage, fat, and muscle, and cancers in these areas are very difficult and painful to treat. Patients with this form of cancer rarely live longer than six months after diagnosis.

Biphasic mesothelioma, is a combination of sarcomatoid and epithelioid. It takes the good and bad aspects of the two types, and almost 20-35% of all mesothelioma cases fall into biphasic areas.
