Chest pain. This is described as 'non-pleuritic
chest pain' and is often referred to the upper abdomen or shoulder (if
there is involvement of the diaphragm).
Shortness of breath (in ~40% of patients). At first this may only
occur with exertion.
In addition, malignant mesothelioma produces both general symptoms, and those
associated with local invasion or distant spread.
