Lung Cancer Specialist Nurses Increase Patient Survival

July 16, 2018  

lung cancer specialist nurses

When you think about your mesothelioma care team, you probably think about mesothelioma specialists, radiologists, pathologists, and other medical specialists with a background in mesothelioma care and oncology. Even though nurses are an integral member of your mesothelioma care team, they might not even make the list. Nurses are expected to step in and quietly be the glue that keeps a patient’s care together, without getting the credit they are due. A new study from the UK demonstrates the importance of lung cancer specialist nurses to improved patient outcomes. If the medical establishment … [Read more...]

Mesothelioma Pain Management Guide

July 11, 2018  

mesothelioma pain

It’s important to pay attention to your mesothelioma pain. Acute mesothelioma pain can be debilitating. Chronic pain, even if it is not severe, is exhausting. Mesothelioma pain can keep you from activities, such as exercise, which help your body heal from surgery or chemotherapy. Depression can go hand in hand with mesothelioma pain, and that can reduce your resilience, as you fight mesothelioma. Not all mesothelioma patients experience pain, but statistics show that about a third of cancer patients experience pain due to their cancer or cancer treatment. When you understand your … [Read more...]

Mesothelioma Biomarkers Could Make Early Diagnosis Routine

June 13, 2018  

mesothelioma biomarkers

One of the complicating factors for many mesothelioma patients is that this rare and life-threatening form of cancer is difficult to diagnose. This can leave mesothelioma undetected until it has progressed to a later stage, when it is harder to treat. The symptoms of pleural mesothelioma overlap with other, more common illnesses, including lung cancer and pneumonia. To combat this problem, researchers in Italy are studying samples from pleural mesothelioma patients to develop a set of mesothelioma biomarkers that can be used for early diagnosis. The study on mesothelioma biomarkers is only … [Read more...]

Immunotherapy Clinical Trial Produces Revolutionary Results

June 11, 2018  

immunotherapy clinical trial results

Scientists are known for being cautious. They validate their results before going public with their research. They are wary of making promises they can’t keep. So you know that, when Laszlo G. Radvanyi of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research calls immunotherapy clinical trial results “unprecedented” and states that this may lead to a “revolution” in cancer treatment, the research has found something big. The immunotherapy clinical trial results that got Dr. Radvanyi excited were for just one patient. Her recovery from late-stage metastatic breast cancer was so dramatic that researchers … [Read more...]

How are Mesothelioma Biopsies Performed?

March 23, 2018  

Mesothelioma biopsies are crucial to mesothelioma diagnosis. Biopsies are procedures that remove cancerous cells from your tumor or fluid from the surrounding area. A pathologist then examines these cells under a microscope to determine if you have cancer, and if so, what type. Mesothelioma biopsies can determine which of the three mesothelioma cell types (epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic) are present in your tumor. This information could help your doctor determine the best course of treatment for your mesothelioma cancer. Epithelioid cells are the most common; sarcomatoid are more … [Read more...]

February 8, 2018  

mesothelioma research

Cancer researchers at the Vanderbilt Center for Molecular Probes, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, have come up with a molecule that has promise as a potential treatment for patients with a variety of types of cancer. While mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, the mechanisms that mesothelioma cells use to grow and divide are the same ones that other cancers use. The Vanderbilt study, while it didn’t focus on mesothelioma, points at potentially productive directions for future mesothelioma research. Cancer Metabolism as a Focus for Mesothelioma Research One of the things that … [Read more...]
