## Abstract Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumor associated with environmental or occupational exposure to asbestos fibers. Erionite is a fibrous zeolite, morphologically similar to asbestos and it is assumed to be even more carcinogenic. Onset and progression of MM has been suggested
The processes of spontaneous and asbestos-induced transformation of rat mesothelium were studied using cell cultures obtained in the laboratory. The same changes in cell properties were established in both spontaneous and asbestos-induced transformation: change in epidermal growth factor (EGF) respo
