Penn Researchers Find That PET Imaging Sheds More Light On Complex, Microscopic Cancers
Date : 1998 09 11
ScienceDaily: Mesothelioma NewsManaging cancer is challenging for physicians in and of itself, but with certain types of cancer, diagnosis is difficult as well. In cancers based in unusual locations, such as in the lining of the lung (mesothelioma) or in the lymph nodes, conventional imaging technology cannot detect malignant cells or differentiate them from benign, or non-cancerous, ones. read more »
New Clinical Trial For Patients With Asbestos-associated Lung Cancer
Date : 2008 06 25 ScienceDaily: Mesothelioma NewsThe Mesothelioma Center within the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center is now recruiting patients for a clinical research study of a new targeted radiation and chemotherapy protocol for pleural mesothelioma, a cancer of the lung's lining that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. read more »
Carbon Nanotubes That Look Like Asbestos, Behave Like Asbestos, Could Lead To Asbestos-related Disease
Date : 2008 05 19 ScienceDaily: Mesothelioma NewsA major study in Nature Nanotechnology suggests some forms of carbon nanotubes -- a poster child for the "nanotechnology revolution" -- could be as harmful as asbestos if inhaled in sufficient quantities. read more »
Mouse Model For Mesothelioma Reproduces Human Disease
Date : 2008 03 11 ScienceDaily: Mesothelioma NewsScientists have established a mouse model for human malignant mesothelioma that will provide valuable insight into cancer development and progression along with new directions for design of therapeutic strategies. The research may eventually lead to a substantially improved outlook for patients with this devastating disease. Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer originating from the mesot read more »
Asbestos Disease Projections Too Low
Date : 2007 04 04 ScienceDaily: Mesothelioma NewsCurrent predictions of the future incidence of asbestos-related disease have been substantially underestimated, according to new modelling to be presented in Melbourne today by an epidemiologist from the Australian National University. read more »
