Mesothelioma Treatment ReviewFor your convenience, we have consolidated mesothelioma treatment information for your review. This section is updated on a weekly basis to cover the latest on conventional treatments, experimental treatments and ongoing clinical trials. Asbestosis

  • Asbestosis is a non-cancerous, chronic lung illness caused by exposure to asbestos. Significant exposure to asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer, mesothelioma and non-malignant lung and pleural disorders.
  • Risk depends on duration, frequency, concentration, & type of asbestos fibres. Diseases from asbestos exposure take a long time to develop. Most cases of asbestosis occur in asbestos workers 15 or more years after initial exposure to asbestos.
  • Smoking greatly increases the likelihood of lung cancer in workers exposed to asbestos (although smoking does not appear to increase the risk of mesothelioma).
  • Mesothelioma is a rare cancer which may affect the lining of the lungs (pleura) and the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Continue reading »

    lung cancer

    Cancer No Comments »

    Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of the lungs. While normal lung tissue cells reproduce and develop into healthy lung tissue, these abnormal cells reproduce rapidly and never grow into normal lung tissue. Lumps of cancer cells (tumors) then form and disrupt the lung, making it difficult to function properly

  • More than 87% of lung cancers are smoking related. However, not all smokers develop lung cancer. Quitting smoking reduces an individual’s risk significantly, although former smokers remain at greater risk for lung cancer than people who never smoked. Exposure to other carcinogens such as asbestos and radon gas also increases an individual’s risk, especially when combined with cigarette or cigar smoking. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 80 percent of lung cancers. Among them are these types of tumors:
  • Adenocarcinoma is found in the mucus glands of the lungs. This is the most common type of lung cancer in women and among people who have not smoked. Continue reading »

    Atrial Septal Aneurysm and Strokes

    Cancer No Comments »
  • This prospective, long-term study both confirms and extends our previous observation. The risk of cerebrovascular events in patients after cardiac surgery with an incidental ASA is low. If treatment is needed for this condition, aspirin appears to be effective therapy. ASA is a localized saccular deformity of the interatrial septum, generally at the level of the fossa ovalis.[8] It can be either congenital or caused by other cardiac abnormalities. Its prevalence is 0.08% to 1.2% in adults[2,5,9,10] and up to 4.9% in the pediatric population[11] as detected by transthoracic echocardiography. With transesophageal echocardiography, the prevalence ranges from a low of 2% to a high of 10%.[5,12] The variability in the diagnosis of ASA is probably related to the diagnostic criteria used, imaging technique, population studied, and the vigilance of reporting such findings. The 3 most plausible mechanisms for the development of cerebrovascular events are (1) thrombus formation in or around the ASA,[4,5,8] (2) paradoxical embolization through an interatrial communication in the form of patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect,[13] and (3) mitral valve prolapse and atrial arrhythmias that have been found to be associated with ASA.[14]
  • All these studies have one major limitation: referral bias. Patients with cerebrovascular events were referred for an echocardiographic study to determine a cardiac source of embolus. Thus these investigations Continue reading »
