Few credible researchers deny the association between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma. However, some hold to a theory that suggests the type of asbestos fiber can make a difference on disease development. One interesting study is called, “Asbestos fiber type in malignant Mesothelioma: An analytical scanning electron microscopic study of 94 cases” by Victor L. Roggli, [...]

The prognosis in malignant Pleural Mesothelioma is tough to evaluate consistently as there is quite a bit of variation in the time before diagnosis and the rate of malignant Pleural Mesothelioma progression. A number of surgical routines may be implemented in selected patients, offering long-term survival without a cure. In most Pleural Mesothelioma patients, significant [...] Most of your body’s internal organs are covered by a membrane called the mesothelium. When a person gets a type of malignant or benign cancer called mesothelioma it affects the mesothelium. The pleura is the lining around your lungs. Most mesothelioma cases start in the pleura or the peritoneum, which is the lining that surrounds [...]
Mesothelioma treatment and treatment options for advanced malignant mesothelioma are not limited to surgery and chemotherapy. Increased awareness of mesothelioma and other asbestos-caused diseases has led to an increase on medical research to cure and control asbestos-caused cancers and related asbestos heart and respiratory diseases. Although chemotherapy and surgery are the most common forms [...] AFIRI, D.M. THOMAS, N.A. SHEPHERD, T. KRAUSZ, D.P. LANE, P.A. HALL – Histopathology – Volume 21, Issue 4, pages 331–334, October 1992. Here is an excerpt: “The p53 tumour suppressor gene has been shown to be frequently mutated in a wide range of human neoplasms. This is accompanied by increased levels of p53 protein which [...]
Malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is quite rare; it affects only the thin wall of cells that line the internal organs and structures. This lining is called the mesothelium and malignant mesothelioma can manifest itself in three main ways. It can be pleural which affects the lungs, peritoneal which affects the [...] |
