Mesothelioma Incidence rates - Health-Lawyers.net

Although reported incidence rates have increased in the past 20 years, mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer. Although, the time it takes to "surface" may have a significant influence on the number of yearly diagnoses. There is also the possibility of misdiagnosis.

About 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age.
