There are roughly 2000 to 3000 new cases of mesothelioma annually in the United States.1 Although the incidence of this disease peaked in the United States about a decade ago, its incidence in many other parts of the world continues to rise, particularly in regions without sufficient asbestos regulation.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/15 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105845104 ER -
