Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects military veterans who were
exposed to asbestos during their time in the service. Asbestos has unique and
valuable properties, and so was used extensively in military applications for
decades. Experts estimate that military exposure may account for up to 30 percent
of all mesothelioma cases diagnosed in the United States.

to asbestos, potentially developing into a mesothelioma disease. Asbestos.com's
