Early Mesothelioma Diagnosis A Possibility

June 17, 2014  

Early diagnosis for mesothelioma when the lethal disease may still be curable could become a reality in the next few years by further development of a device that can “sniff” lung cancer. The diagnostic device, an Israeli invention, uses nano technology to detect the presence of even early stage lung cancer in exhaled breath. The device could be a life-saver soon, and may prove useful for early mesothelioma diagnosis. The inventor Hossam Haick, a professor at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology’s Department of Chemical Engineering, told reporters that he was inspired to create the device … [Read more...]

Test for Early Mesothelioma Diagnosis Advances With New Research

April 9, 2014  

Now when a mesothelioma diagnosis is made it means the disease has progressed to a stage that makes its presence both unmistakable and incurable. Because there are no reliable early tests to determine a mesothelioma diagnosis, precious time is lost without even knowing the disease is there causing irreparable damage. Clearly a top priority for mesothelioma research science is to develop a way to nip mesothelioma in the bud and treat it before it reaches the stage where a mesothelioma diagnosis means terminal. Recently scientists in Japan made the quest for early mesothelioma diagnosis a step … [Read more...]

New Study Questions Surgery’s Role in Improving Survival For Mesothelioma Diagnosis

March 3, 2014  

If you or a loved one has received a mesothelioma diagnosis, trying to beat the odds and live as long as possible with a mesothelioma diagnosis becomes of the utmost importance.  That is understandable. One of the ways currently believed to possibly extend survival with a mesothelioma diagnosis is undergoing an extensive radical surgery procedure.  Because mesothelioma is a cancer attacking the mesothelin cells lining the lungs, the surgical procedure involves either removing the lung, called extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) surgery, or lung-sparing pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) surgery to … [Read more...]

Applying for Disability Benefits with Mesothelioma

December 16, 2013  

From time to time we invite people with information useful for mesothelioma patients to contribute their knowledge. This is a guest post by Ram Meyyappan of Social Security Disability Help.

New Test Holds Promise for Earlier Mesothelioma Diagnosis

December 5, 2013  

Mesothelioma diagnosis plays a major role in the tragedy of mesothelioma. Because it can take decades for symptoms to emerge, by the time a mesothelioma diagnosis is made, it is often too late to do more than to make a patient as comfortable as possible during the months remaining for him or her to live. In some cases, intensive treatment can prolong life but the rounds of chemotherapy and radiation exact their own toll on the quality of life. We therefore applaud any successful steps to finding an earlier mesothelioma diagnosis test.  One of the key challenges up until now has been that … [Read more...]

A Future Mesothelioma Screen?

September 4, 2013  

The physical signs of malignant mesothelioma can take between 20 and 50 years to develop, and once you notice, the disease is likely to be in its advanced stages. Patients and doctors everywhere wonder if it's at all possible to find out earlier whether an individual has been exposed to asbestos, and whether the body is experiencing any problems. Think about it: Laboratory tests can often help doctors determine whether a person has cancer or other serious diseases. And when done routinely, these tests can help patients resolve these problems before they become life-threatening. Why isn't … [Read more...]
