Peritoneal mesothelioma is the type of mesothelioma most likely to affect fertility in women, due to it targeting the lining of the abdominal organs. Since this cancer occurs in the same part of the body as reproductive organs, fertility is a significant concern. Research has also shown that women who were exposed to asbestos had connections to breast and ovarian cancer as well.

The most important measure pregnant women can take to protect themselves and their unborn children is to avoid asbestos exposure. This can prove challenging because most people who are exposed to asbestos do not experience symptoms and may be unaware when such exposure occurs.
