Vegetable Component Suggested As Mesothelioma Treatment

November 17, 2014  

Experimental Mesothelioma Treatment Shows Promise Researchers report that a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, a group that includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, shows potential as a new mesothelioma treatment – especially in combination with the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. The compound is called phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC). It is a naturally occurring isothiocyanate, the component of cruciferous vegetables that give them their sulphur-like scent. Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage all get their characteristic flavors from isothiocyanates – and their reported … [Read more...]

New Triple Drug Combo Wipes Out Mesothelioma Tumors in Mice

October 2, 2014

The experimental treatment successfully eliminated mesothelioma tumors in laboratory mice, according to the study published in the Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research. To produce these favorable results, the scientists employed not one, not two but three tumor-fighting drugs all at the same time by mixing them together to create a potent anti-mesothelioma “cocktail.” It proved to be a winning combination. In the summary of their findings, the University of Western … [Read more...]

New Study Finds Pineapple-Based Enzyme May Enhance Mesothelioma Medication’s Effect

January 23, 2014  

Scientific research continues to find new breakthroughs in the quest for more effective mesothelioma medication.  At present there are relatively few mesothelioma medications that have FDA approval so it is crucial that research pushes forward to find more mesothelioma medication options. But in order to win FDA approval any new mesothelioma medication will have to be proven to be both safe and effective. That’s important. An intriguing new one that just made moved up a notch in the approval race is bromelain, a compound that comes from pineapples. A successful laboratory experiment by … [Read more...]
