A. Malignant mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer are commonly mistaken for one-another because of the fact that both diseases affect similar locations of the body (chest) and both are a type of cancer. Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer of the tissue that lines the lung cavity, whereas asbestos lung cancer is a type of cancer of the parenchymal lung tissue itself.
