Fluid and Tissue Sample Tests. If you have a buildup of fluid in the body that may be related to mesothelioma, your doctor can remove a sample of the fluid by inserting a needle through the skin into the area of fluid buildup.
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that affects the protective cover of the bodyÃ¯Â¿Â½s internal organs which is called mesothelium. Although it is most commonly seen in the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall, it can also affect the abdominal cavity lining and the heart. It does not manifest immediately but takes a long period to be diagnosed. It is not as common as asbestosis but is more fatal.
