Mesothelioma is a rare disease which accounts for 5-28% of all malignancies that involve the pleura. The [[incidence]] of mesothelioma is estimated to be 3,000 cases annually. The [[incidence]] of [[pleural]] mesothelioma is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. Males are more commonly affected with mesothelioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1. The [[incidence]] of mesothelioma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis for [[pleural]] mesothelioma and [[peritoneal]] mesothelioma are 74 years and 68 years, respectively. There is no racial predilection to mesothelioma. | |||

Overview
Mesothelioma is a rare disease which accounts for 5-28% of all malignancies that involve the pleura. The incidence of mesothelioma is estimated to be 3,000 cases annually. The incidence of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. Males are more commonly affected with mesothelioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1. The incidence of mesothelioma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis for pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma are 74 years and 68 years, respectively. There is no racial predilection to mesothelioma.
