Cause
In general, cancer occurs when cells mutate DNA. These mutations make the cells continued to grow and thrive while others have a normal cell cycle of life and death. The accumulation of these cancer cells can form malignant tumors.

It is unclear what the initial cause genetic mutations that lead to mesothelioma although scientists identify factors that may increase the risk. Cancer may occur due to a combination of several factors, such as heredity, environment, health and lifestyle.
