Mesothelioma: A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed)Pleural Neoplasms: Neoplasms of the thin serous membrane that envelopes the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. Pleural neoplasms are exceedingly rare and are usually not diagnosed until they are advanced because in the early stages they produce no symptoms.Asbestos: Asbestos. Fibrous incombustible mineral composed of magnesium and calcium silicates with or without other elements. It is relatively inert chemically and used in thermal insulation and fireproofing. Inhalation of dust causes asbestosis and later lung and gastrointestinal neoplasms.Peritoneal Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the PERITONEUM.Zeolites: Zeolites. A group of crystalline, hydrated alkali-aluminum silicates. They occur naturally in sedimentary and volcanic rocks, altered basalts, ores, and clay deposits. Some 40 known zeolite minerals and a great number of synthetic zeolites are available commercially. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)Asbestosis: A form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers which elicit potent inflammatory responses in the parenchyma of the lung. The disease is characterized by interstitial fibrosis of the lung, varying from scattered sites to extensive scarring of the alveolar interstitium.Asbestos, Crocidolite: A lavender, acid-resistant asbestos.Mesothelioma, Cystic: A peritoneal mesothelioma affecting mainly young females and producing cysts of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial cells. The disease follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal life expectancy, requiring occasionally partial excision or decompression for relief of pain or other symptoms. Malignant potential is exceptional. (From Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1345)Pleura: The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY. Pleura consist of two layers, the inner visceral pleura lying next to the pulmonary parenchyma and the outer parietal pleura. Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid.Pleural Effusion, Malignant: Presence of fluid in the PLEURAL CAVITY as a complication of malignant disease. Malignant pleural effusions often contain actual malignant cells.Asbestos, Amphibole: A class of asbestos that includes silicates of magnesium, iron, calcium, and sodium. The fibers are generally brittle and cannot be spun, but are more resistant to chemicals and heat than ASBESTOS, SERPENTINE. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed)Calbindin 2: A calbindin protein that is differentially expressed in distinct populations of NEURONS throughout the vertebrate and invertebrate NERVOUS SYSTEM, and modulates intrinsic neuronal excitability and influences LONG-TERM POTENTIATION. It is also found in LUNG, TESTIS, OVARY, KIDNEY, and BREAST, and is expressed in many tumor types found in these tissues. It is often used as an immunohistochemical marker for MESOTHELIOMA.Mineral Fibers: Long, pliable, cohesive natural or manufactured filaments of various lengths. They form the structure of some minerals. The medical significance lies in their potential ability to cause various types of PNEUMOCONIOSIS (e.g., ASBESTOSIS) after occupational or environmental exposure. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p708)Asbestos, Serpentine: A type of asbestos that occurs in nature as the dihydrate of magnesium silicate. It exists in two forms: antigorite, a plated variety, and chrysotile, a fibrous variety. The latter makes up 95% of all asbestos products. (From Merck Index, 11th ed, p.893)Neoplasms, Mesothelial: Neoplasms composed of tissue of the mesothelium, the layer of flat cells, derived from the mesoderm, which lines the body cavity of the embryo. In the adult it forms the simple squamous epithelium which covers all true serous membranes (peritoneum, pericardium, pleura). The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in these organs. (From Dorland, 27th ed)Epithelioid Cells: Characteristic cells of granulomatous hypersensitivity. They appear as large, flattened cells with increased endoplasmic reticulum. They are believed to be activated macrophages that have differentiated as a result of prolonged antigenic stimulation. Further differentiation or fusion of epithelioid cells is thought to produce multinucleated giant cells (GIANT CELLS).Asbestos, Amosite: Asbestos, grunerite.

In intestinal ENTEROCYTES it mediates intracellular calcium transport from apical to basolateral membranes via calcium binding at two EF-HAND MOTIFS. Expression is regulated in some tissues by VITAMIN D.Pleural Effusion: Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself.GuanineGlutamates: Derivatives of GLUTAMIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the 2-aminopentanedioic acid structure.Tumor Markers, Biological: Molecular products metabolized and secreted by neoplastic tissue and characterized biochemically in cells or body fluids. They are indicators of tumor stage and grade as well as useful for monitoring responses to treatment and predicting recurrence. Many chemical groups are represented including hormones, antigens, amino and nucleic acids, enzymes, polyamines, and specific cell membrane proteins and lipids.Pleural DiseasesPleurisy: INFLAMMATION of PLEURA, the lining of the LUNG.

The European mesothelioma epidemic. (1/1637)

Projections for the period 1995-2029 suggest that the number of men dying from mesothelioma in Western Europe each year will almost double over the next 20 years, from 5000 in 1998 to about 9000 around 2018, and then decline, with a total of about a quarter of a million deaths over the next 35 years. The highest risk will be suffered by men born around 1945-50, of whom about 1 in 150 will die of mesothelioma. Asbestos use in Western Europe remained high until 1980, and substantial quantities are still used in several European countries. These projections are based on the fit of a simple age and birth cohort model to male pleural cancer mortality from 1970 to 1989 for six countries (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Switzerland) which together account for three-quarters of the population of Western Europe. The model was tested by comparing observed and predicted numbers of deaths for the period 1990-94. The ratio of mesothelioma to recorded pleural cancer mortality has been 1.6:1 in Britain but was assumed to be 1:1 in other countries.  (+info)

An expert system for the evaluation of historical asbestos exposure as diagnostic criterion in asbestos-related diseases. (2/1637)

Compensation schemes for asbestos-related diseases have developed different strategies for attributing a specific disease to occupational exposure to asbestos in the past. In the absence of quantitative exposure information that allows a valid estimate of an individual's historical exposure, general guidelines are required to retrospectively evaluate asbestos exposure. A risk matrix has been developed that contains qualitative information on the proportion of workers exposed and the level of exposure in particular industries over time. Based on this risk matrix, stepwise decision trees were formulated for decisions regarding the decisive role of historical asbestos exposure in case ascertainment of asbestosis and mesothelioma. Application of decision schemes will serve to speed up the process of verifying compensation claims and also contribute to a uniform decision-making process in legal procedures.  (+info)

A historical cohort mortality study of workers exposed to asbestos in a refitting shipyard. (3/1637)

To investigate the risks of developing asbestos-related diseases we conducted a historical cohort mortality study on 249 ship repair workers (90 laggers and 159 boiler repairers) in a single U.S. Navy shipyard in Japan. We successfully identified the vital status of 87 (96.7%) laggers and 150 (94.3%) boiler repairers, and, of these, 49 (56.3%) and 65 (43.3%) died, respectively, during the follow-up period from 1947 till the end of 1996. Our in-person interviews with some of the subjects clarified that asbestos exposure was considered to be substantially high in the 1950-60s, decreased thereafter gradually but remained till 1979 in the shipyard. The laggers, who had handled asbestos materials directly, showed a significantly elevated SMR of 2.75 (95% C.I.: 1.08-6.48) for lung cancer. The risk developing the disease was greater in the laggers after a 20-year latency (SMR = 3.42). Pancreatic cancer yielded a greater SMR than unity (7.78, 90% C.I.: 2.07-25.19) in a longer working years group. Four laggers died from asbestosis. The boiler repairers, who had many chances for secondary exposure to asbestos and a few for direct exposure, showed no elevation of the SMR of lung cancer overall, but there was a borderline statistically significant SMR of 2.41 (90% C.I.: 1.05-5.45) in a longer working years group. One boiler repairer died from mesothelioma and four from asbestosis.  (+info)

Morphological variations in transplanted tumors developed by inoculation of spontaneous mesothelioma cell lines derived from F344 rats. (4/1637)

Morphological and immunohistochemical features of the abdominal mesotheliomas that were developed by inoculation of 3 cell lines (MeET-4, -5 and -6) established from spontaneous abdominal mesotheliomas in male F344 rats. Although the original tumors of three cell lines showed signs of epithelioid growth with a predominantly simple papillary pattern, transplanted tumors revealed a variety of morphologic features including epithelioid with glandular structures, sarcomatous, and a mixture of these components. All tumor cells of transplanted tumors were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin (ASMA) but almost negative for desmin as were epithelioid cells of the original tumors, and the cell lines were positive for desmin but not for ASMA. These results suggested that mesothelioma in the F344 rat had the potential for wide spectrum differentiation under in vitro conditions. The microenvironmental factors obtained in vivo can modify their potential ability and their morphological aspects. These factors may be related to tumor cell reexpression of ASMA of tumor cells that were masked under in vitro culture conditions.  (+info)

T-cell receptor transgenic analysis of tumor-specific CD8 and CD4 responses in the eradication of solid tumors. (5/1637)

The role of tumor-specific CD8 and CD4 lymphocytes in rejecting solid tumors has been difficult to determine because of the lack of models in which tumor antigen, specific CD8 cells, and specific CD4 cells can be monitored and controlled. To investigate the minimal components required for the induction and maintenance of CTL activity sufficient to reject a solid tumor in vivo, we transfected the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) gene into a nonimmunogenic class I+/class II- murine malignant mesothelioma (MM) tumor line to generate an endogenous tumor antigen and used TCR transgenic mice with class I- or class II-restricted specificities for HA as sources of naive, tumor-specific T cells. The data show that the presence of a strong tumor antigen is not in itself sufficient to induce an effective CTL response, nor does the presence of a high frequency of precursor cells guarantee tumor rejection. We also show that tumor-specific CD4 cells, when CTL numbers are suboptimal, greatly enhance the eradication of tumor, confirming the importance of antigen-presenting cell presentation of tumor antigens to class II-restricted cells. These data confirm that T-cell receptor transgenic cells, combined with nominal tumor antigen transfection, represent powerful tools to analyze tumor-specific T-cell responses.  (+info)

Photodynamic therapy with mTHPC and polyethylene glycol-derived mTHPC: a comparative study on human tumour xenografts. (6/1637)

The photosensitizing properties of m-tetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (mTHPC) and polyethylene glycol-derivatized mTHPC (pegylated mTHPC) were compared in nude mice bearing human malignant mesothelioma, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma xenografts. Laser light (20 J/cm2) at 652 nm was delivered to the tumour (surface irradiance) and to an equal-sized area of the hind leg of the animals after i.p. administration of 0.1 mg/kg body weight mTHPC and an equimolar dose of pegylated mTHPC, respectively. The extent of tumour necrosis and normal tissue injury was assessed by histology. Both mTHPC and pegylated mTHPC catalyse photosensitized necrosis in mesothelioma xenografts at drug-light intervals of 1-4 days. The onset of action of pegylated mTHPC seemed slower but significantly exceeds that of mTHPC by days 3 and 4 with the greatest difference being noted at day 4. Pegylated mTHPC also induced significantly larger photonecrosis than mTHPC in squamous cell xenografts but not in adenocarcinoma at day 4, where mTHPC showed greatest activity. The degree of necrosis induced by pegylated mTHPC was the same for all three xenografts. mTHPC led to necrosis of skin and underlying muscle at a drug-light interval of 1 day but minor histological changes only at drug-light intervals from 2-4 days. In contrast, pegylated mTHPC did not result in histologically detectable changes in normal tissues under the same treatment conditions at any drug-light interval assessed. In this study, pegylated mTHPC had advantages as a photosensitizer compared to mTHPC. Tissue concentrations of mTHPC and pegylated mTHPC were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in non-irradiated animals 4 days after administration. There was no significant difference in tumour uptake between the two sensitizers in mesothelioma, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma xenografts. Tissue concentration measurements were of limited use for predicting photosensitization in this model.  (+info)

Multicentre randomised controlled trial of nursing intervention for breathlessness in patients with lung cancer. (7/1637)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of nursing intervention for breathlessness in patients with lung cancer. DESIGN: Patients diagnosed with lung cancer participated in a multicentre randomised controlled trial where they either attended a nursing clinic offering intervention for their breathlessness or received best supportive care. The intervention consisted of a range of strategies combining breathing control, activity pacing, relaxation techniques, and psychosocial support. Best supportive care involved receiving standard management and treatment available for breathlessness, and breathing assessments. Participants completed a range of self assessment questionnaires at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. SETTING: Nursing clinics within 6 hospital settings in the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS: 119 patients diagnosed with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer or with mesothelioma who had completed first line treatment for their disease and reported breathlessness. OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual analogue scales measuring distress due to breathlessness, breathlessness at best and worst, WHO performance status scale, hospital anxiety and depression scale, and Rotterdam symptom checklist. RESULTS: The intervention group improved significantly at 8 weeks in 5 of the 11 items assessed: breathlessness at best, WHO performance status, levels of depression, and two Rotterdam symptom checklist measures (physical symptom distress and breathlessness) and showed slight improvement in 3 of the remaining 6 items. CONCLUSION: Most patients who completed the study had a poor prognosis, and breathlessness was typically a symptom of their deteriorating condition. Patients who attended nursing clinics and received the breathlessness intervention experienced improvements in breathlessness, performance status, and physical and emotional states relative to control patients.  (+info)

Telomerase activity in human pleural mesothelioma. (8/1637)

BACKGROUND: Gradual telomere erosion eventually limits the replicative life span of somatic cells and is regarded as an ultimate tumour suppressor mechanism, eliminating cells that have accumulated genetic alterations. Telomerase, which has been found in over 85% of human cancers, elongates telomeres and may be required for tumorigenesis by the process of immortalisation. Malignant mesothelioma is an incurable malignancy with a poor prognosis. The disease becomes symptomatic decades after exposure to carcinogenic asbestos fibres, suggesting the long term survival of pre-malignant cell clones. This study investigated the presence of telomerase in pleural malignant mesothelioma, which may be the target for future anti-telomerase drugs. METHODS: Telomerase activity was semiquantitatively measured in extracts from 22 primary pleural mesotheliomas, two benign solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura, four mesothelioma cell lines, and six short term mesothelial cell cultures from normal pleura using a non-isotopic dilution assay of the telomeric repeat amplification protocol. RESULTS: Twenty of the 22 primary mesotheliomas (91%) and all tumour derived mesothelioma cell lines were telomerase positive. Different levels of enzyme activity were observed in the tumours of different histological subtypes. Telomerase activity could not be detected in the six normal mesothelial cell cultures or in the two mesotheliomas. Both benign solitary fibrous tumours showed strong telomerase activity. CONCLUSIONS: Telomerase activity is found in a high proportion of mesotheliomas and anti-telomerase drugs might therefore be useful clinically. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that telomerase activity may be a feature of carcinogenesis in mesotheliomas and possibly in many other cancers.  (+info)

Treatment of Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer that occurs in the thin layer of tissue that covers the majority of your internal organs. Doctors divide mesothelioma into different categories based on what part of the mesothelium is affected by cancer. Mesothelioma that occurs in the tissue that surrounds the lung is called pleural mesothelioma and is the most common form. Mesothelioma that occurs in the tissue in your abdomen is called peritoneal mesothelioma and accounts for 10 percent to 20 percent of all mesotheliomas. In rare cases, mesothelioma can also occur in the lining around the heart, and in the lining around the testicles, Between 2,000 and 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States each year. Men are more likely to develop mesothelioma than are women. Its more common in older adults - most people with mesothelioma are 65 and older - though mesothelioma can be diagnosed at any age, Mesothelioma is closely linked to exposure to asbestos - a natural fiber that was

AU - Strizzi, L.. AU - Procopio, A.. PY - 2001. Y1 - 2001. N2 - Methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP2) is the molecular target of the angiogenesis inhibitors, fumagillin and ovalacin. Fumagillin can also inhibit cancer cell proliferation, implying that MetAP2 may play a quite complex role in tumor progression. Here, we examined the expression and function of MetAP2 in an in vitro model of human mesothelioma. We found that mesothelioma cells expressed higher MetAP2 mRNA levels than primary normal mesothelial cells. Consistently, fumagillin induced apoptosis, owing to early mitochondrial damage, in malignant, but not in normal mesothelial cells. Transfection of mesothelioma cells with a MetAP2 anti-sense oligonucleotide determined a time-dependent inhibition of cell survival and induced nucleosome ...
Ape Virus Shrinks Mesothelioma Tumors in Lab | Surviving MesotheliomaApe Virus Shrinks Mesothelioma Tumors in Lab | Surviving Mesothelioma
A virus that causes leukemia in gibbon apes may have the power to help fight malignant mesothelioma in people.. Gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) has been tested for years as a viral vector, a carrier of therapeutic genetic information, in the treatment of various human illnesses, including cancer. A new study in Japan compared GALV with a leukemia virus derived from mice to see which carrier communicated most efficiently with mesothelioma cells. While both types of viruses replicated in most of the mesothelioma cell lines tested, the mouse-derived virus was not effective in a mesothelioma cell line called ACC-MESO-1. In this cell line, only the GALV spread efficiently both in culture and in mice that had been given human mesothelioma xenografts. GALV carrying a "prodrug activator gene" (which triggers expression of a suicide gene in infected cells) efficiently killed ACC-MESO-1 mesothelioma cells. The result was "significant inhibition" of mesothelioma tumor growth in the mice. Further testing ...

The imaging method called positron emission tomography (PET) using the radioactive tracer molecule 18F-FDG is a valuable way to both diagnose and track the progression of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Nuclear medicine researchers at a Hospital in Barcelona, Spain reviewed the diagnostic and treatment records of 60 people with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a form of mesothelioma that spreads on the membrane lining the walls of the abdomen. The study subjects included 34 women and 26 men with a mean age of 53. All the patients in the study had had multiple 18-F-FDG-PET scans to diagnose or track their cancer. Eleven of the studied patients had an FDG-PET scan prior to receiving treatment. In all cases, the scans showed characteristic mesothelioma disease … Continue reading Tracking Mesothelioma with FDG-PET » ...

We detected the SMRP levels in pleural effusions (PE) by means of an ELISA and analyzed their diagnostic relevance to differentiate MPM from benign pathology and from non-MPM pleural metastasis. Comparison with cytology in MPM-PE was also performed. We found that SMRP detection in MPM-PE can help the diagnosis of MPM and provide additional diagnostic value to ...
Mesothelioma - Serling LawMesothelioma - Serling Law
Mesothelioma is a disease where cells in the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without order or control. The cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and organs or spread to other areas of the body. Mesothelioma usually affects the pleura, the membrane that surrounds the lungs. This form of the disease is called pleural mesothelioma. The peritoneum can also be affected, which is known as peritoneal mesothelioma. It rarely begins in the pericardium.. Mesothelioma can be divided into three types: epithelioid, sarcomatoid and mixed/biphasic. Epithelioid mesothelioma has the best outlook and makes up 50% to 70% of all mesothelioma cases.. Decades ago, researchers connected the development of mesothelioma to crocidolite asbestos exposure in South African miners. Approximately 70% to 90% of patients who develop mesothelioma have some prior asbestos exposure commonly through work. Mesothelioma cases tend to come from those working near or in shipyards and plants that produce asbestos ...
Papillary MesotheliomaPapillary Mesothelioma
Asbestos Cancer. Papillary mesothelioma is a very rare variation of epithelial mesothelioma. It is also referred to as well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM). It is relatively benign, or has a low malignant potential, meaning that unlike most mesothelioma it is not likely to spread to other parts of the body. However, there have been cases of aggressive papillary mesothelioma, and treatment should not be delayed. WDPM normally responds well to treatment, and the prognosis for patients is good.. Who Gets Papillary Mesothelioma?. WDPM is usually found in women of reproductive years, and starts in the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity and surrounds the abdominal organs (peritoneum). It has been found in men, in the tunica vaginalis which is the outpouching of the peritoneum which surrounds the testicles. It has also been found in the protective sac around the heart (pericardium), the lining of the lungs (pleura), and the ovaries.. Papillary mesothelioma has not been as closely ...
CK2α, over-expressed in human malignant pleural mesothelioma, regulates the Hedgehog signaling pathway in mesothelioma cells |...CK2α, over-expressed in human malignant pleural mesothelioma, regulates the Hedgehog signaling pathway in mesothelioma cells |...
Our results suggest that CK2α is over-expressed and positively regulates Hh/Gli1 signaling in human malignant pleura mesothelioma. This is supported by several lines of evidence. First, broadly aberrant over-expression of CK2 was demonstrated in most of the primary mesothelioma samples and cell lines we tested. Second, we found a statistically mild correlation between CK2 and Gli1 expression both at the mRNA and protein levels. Third, in experimental studies of mesothelioma cell lines, CK2α inhibition by siRNA or small-molecular inhibitor resulted in down-regulation of Gli1 expression and transcriptional activity. Finally, forced over-expression of CK2α led to Gli1 transcriptional activation.. To date, there is no evidence for the expression status of CK2 in mesothelioma, although CK2 reportedly affects cell growth in several types of tumor. Our study shows the broad over-expression of CK2α for the first time. Our findings suggest that CK2 may play an important role in mesothelioma ...
Calpeptin Prevents Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Cell Proliferation via the Angiopoietin1/Tie2 SystemCalpeptin Prevents Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Cell Proliferation via the Angiopoietin1/Tie2 System
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), an aggressive malignant tumor of mesothelial origin associated with asbestos exposure, shows a limited response to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, the overall survival of MPM patients remains very poor. Progress in the development of therapeutic strategies for MPM has been limited. We recently reported that the calpain inhibitor, calpeptin exerted inhibitory effects on pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the proliferation of lung fibroblasts. In the present study, we examined the preventive effects of calpeptin on the cell growth of MPM, the origin of which is mesenchymal cells, similar to lung fibroblasts. Calpeptin inhibited the proliferation of MPM cells, but not mesothelial cells. It also prevented 1) the expression of angiopoietin (Ang)1 and Tie2 mRNA in MPM cells, but not mesothelial cells and 2) the Ang1induced proliferation of MPM cells through an NFkB dependent pathway, which may be the mechanism underlying the preventive effects of

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive tumor arising from mesothelial cells of serous membranes. Src family kinases (SFKs) have a pivotal role in cell adhesion, proliferation, survival and apoptosis. Here, we examined the effect of SFK inhibitors in NCI-H2052, ACC-MESO-4 and NCI-H28 cells, mesothelioma cell lines and Met5A, a human non-malignant mesothelial cell line. We found that PP2, a selective SFK inhibitor, inhibited SFK activity and induced apoptosis mediated by caspase-8 in NCI-H28 but not Met5A, NCI-H2052 and ACC-MESO-4 cells. Src, Yes, Fyn and Lyn protein, which are members of the SFK, were expressed in these cell lines, whereas NCI-H28 cells were deficient in Fyn protein. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Fyn facilitated PP2-induced apoptosis mediated by caspase-8 in NCI-H2052 and ACC-MESO-4 cells. PP2 reduced Lyn protein levels and suppressed SFK activity in all mesothelioma cell lines. Lyn siRNA induced caspase-8 activation and apoptosis in NCI-H28 cells but not in NCI-H2052 ...

Background Mesothelioma is often perceived as a locally aggressive cancer. The ability of mesothelioma to metastasise and how mesothelioma causes death are unclear. We studied mesothelioma cases from Western Australia (WA) where crocidolite mining has led to significant exposure of the population to asbestos.. Methods Postmortem records of all mesothelioma patients who underwent an autopsy were identified from the mesothelioma database (∼1600) of the WA Cancer Registry.. Results Of the 253 postmortem records identified, 208 were complete, including 190 cases of pleural and 18 peritoneal mesothelioma. Patients with pleural mesothelioma were predominantly (90%) males and 55% had right-sided tumour.

Pleural MesotheliomaPleural Mesothelioma
Asbestos Cancer Pleural mesothelioma is cancer of the lining of the lungs. It is not the same as lung cancer, but is sometimes referred to as asbestos lung cancer. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma, accounting for about 75% to 90% of mesothelioma cases. Most patients do not notice or recognize symptoms until 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure, and may at first believe that they have another less serious illness. Pleural mesothelioma kills most victims within a year of diagnosis, but very early detection can greatly increase your life expectancy.. Pleural mesothelioma is a progressively debilitating and very painful form of cancer. It is caused by asbestos exposure. The majority of victims were exposed in the workplace, but exposure can occur in the home, at school, or in other settings.. The Pleura. The pleura is the mesothelium which surrounds the lungs. It protects and lubricates the lungs, helping them to function properly. It is made up of two layers:. ...

... - Mesothelioma Prognosis Unfortunately, mesothelioma is among the various diseases that continues to produce quite a disappointing and negative prognosis. To this day, there is no known or medically-accepted cure for mesothelioma. If you need legal advice and assistance, contact mesothelioma lawyers. However, even though it is extremely rare, there have been cases where the disease has been cured without remission. Also, advancements in the treatment for mesothelioma have significantly improved the overall life expectancy in mesothelioma patients. Determining mesothelioma treatment options, there are various factors that must be considered. Among aspects to be considered, the most common are: • Stage of mesothelioma -The earlier that the disease is diagnosed, the better chance the patient will have of survival. • Patients age • Overall health status -If the disease has progressed to the extent that the health is considered to be poor, the mesothelioma treatment

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer. It develops from transformed cells originating in the mesothelium, the protective thin membrane encompassing the bodys internal organs and cavities. There are three recognized forms of malignant mesothelioma: Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of the disease (roughly 70% of all cases) and occurs in the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall, peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, the sac that surrounds the heart.. Malignant mesothelioma is usually caused by exposure to asbestos and the inhalation of asbestos particles. Inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers may cause an inflammation of internal tissue and disrupt organ function leading to the development of mesothelioma. In most cases, the symptoms of mesothelioma such as shortness of breath, lower back pain or side chest pain will only appear years after exposure and are frequently ...

Mesothelioma is an intractable tumor with no curative treatment to date. In a first step toward developing targeted therapeutics against mesothelioma, we sought to identify internalizing antibodies that target mesothelioma-associated cell surface antigens. Taking a functional approach, we have used a nonimmune phage antibody library as an unbiased random-shaped affinity repertoire to select for tumor-targeting scFvs on live mesothelioma cells. The selection methodology was optimized to enrich for scFvs that efficiently target internalizing epitopes (17, 37, 38), providing a means of efficient intracellular payload delivery to mesothelioma cells. We identified 95 unique mesothelioma-targeting scFvs, 21 of which were further characterized by FACS profiling on tumor cell lines, immunohistochemistry on mesothelioma tissue samples, and in vitro internalization/payload delivery assays. All 21 scFvs bind to both epithelioid and sarcomatoid type mesothelioma cell lines. In addition, all 21 scFvs stain ...
ENVIRONMENTAL ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA IN CALIFORNIA - UC DavisENVIRONMENTAL ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA IN CALIFORNIA - UC Davis
This study will examine whether environmental asbestos deposits in California are associated with increased rates of mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the pleura and peritoneum that occurs almost solely as a result of asbestos exposure. The project brings together a multidisciplinary team to address geologic occurrence of asbestos in California, potential human exposure based on population patterns and known occupational exposures, and epidemiologic characteristics of disease in the state. The study will provide the ability to assess age-, race- and sex- adjusted mesothelioma rates in relation to asbestiform type and location as determined by geographic mapping. Previous epidemiological studies of asbestos-induced malignancy have focused primarily on occupation asbestos exposures. Studies in other countries have documented mesotheliomas due to environmental asbestos exposure, but there has been little research on this in the U.S. Information on mesothelioma cases from 1988-96 will be obtained from ...
Mesothelioma PrognosisMesothelioma Prognosis
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that forms tumors in and around ones vital organs. These tumors result in the lining of these organs becoming abnormal, imperiling an individuals life in the process. The rise of mesothelioma has been linked to the use of asbestos in the building and manufacturing industries. Beginning in the 1940s, thousands of workers in locations such as shipyards and power plants inhaled or ingested asbestos, which resulted in many of these workers developing mesothelioma later in life. Currently, there are three known forms of mesothelioma, which are determined by the location of ones tumors. If an individual has developed tumors in their abdominal lining, then they have peritoneal mesothelioma. If the tumors manifest in ones lungs, then they can be said to have pleural mesothelioma. The most severe form of mesothelioma is pericardial mesothelioma, which attacks the lining of the heart.. Ones mesothelioma prognosis depends on a number of factors. These include the type ...

Malignant mesothelioma is an asbestos-related fatal disease with no effective cure. Recently, high dose of ascorbate in cancer treatment has been reexamined. We studied whether high dose of ascorbic acid induced cell death of four human mesothelioma cell lines. High dose of ascorbic acid induced cell death of all mesothelioma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. We further clarified the cell killing mechanism that ascorbic acid induced reactive oxygen species and impaired mitochondrial membrane potential. In vivo experiment, intravenous administration of ascorbic acid significantly decreased the growth rate of mesothelioma tumor inoculated in mice. These data suggest that ascorbic acid may have benefits for patients with mesothelioma.. Ascorbate induces autophagy in pancreatic cancer.. Ascorbate (ascorbic acid, vitamin C) is one of the early, unorthodox treatments for cancer. The evidence upon which people base the use of ascorbate in cancer treatment falls into two categories: clinical data ...
DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT OF PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA - Daily Medical NewsDIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT OF PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA - Daily Medical News
Peritoneal mesothelioma is known only to be caused by exposure to asbestos, a microscopic natural fiber that was used heavily in industry. Asbestos is said to reach the abdominal wall by one of two methods. The first is through ingested asbestos fibers which are processed through digestion and become lodged in the peritoneum. The other method is through the lungs and lymph nodes by inhaled asbestos fibers. Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is also known to metastasize directly into the abdominal cavity if its spread is not slowed.. Many of those who have worked with asbestos materials have developed peritoneal mesothelioma as a result of exposure to friable asbestos fibers. Asbestos was used in a myriad of industrial materials and construction products. Exposure to asbestos was common in aluminum plants, steel mills, power plants, and naval shipyards.. Peritoneal mesothelioma is a relatively rare disease, with only 200-500 diagnoses each year in the United States being documented. Risk, ...
Mesothelioma Diagnosis | Mesothelioma Asbestos Lawsuit, Lawyer, Law Firm, AttorneyMesothelioma Diagnosis | Mesothelioma Asbestos Lawsuit, Lawyer, Law Firm, Attorney
As with all diseases, a doctor begins the mesothelioma diagnosis by doing a complete physical exam and reviewing your medical history. Because mesothelioma is almost always caused by breathing in asbestos, you should tell your doctor about your exposure to asbestos if you suspect you may have mesothelioma. After performing the physical exam, a doctor should have x-rays of the chest performed and pulmonary function tests to determine if the symptoms are consistent with malignant mesothelioma.. Additionally, a doctor may order CT scans and / or MRIs to aid in the diagnosis. These tools allow a doctor to assess the size, location, and extent of the tumor in the chest or abdomen.. If, after performing these tests, a doctor suspects mesothelioma, a biopsy should be taken to confirm the diagnosis. A biopsy is used for obtaining a tissue sample of the tumor. Although a biopsy is the most effective procedure for diagnosing mesothelioma, malignant mesothelioma cells can look like other types of cancer. ...

Results.-Glucose transporter-1, p53, insulin-like growth factor 2 messenger RNA-binding protein 3 (IMP-3), desmin, and epithelial membrane antigen have all been claimed to mark either benign or malignant mesothelial processes, but in practice they at best provide statistical differences in large series of cases, without being useful in an individual case. Homozygous deletion of p16 by FISH or loss of BAP1 has only been reported in malignant mesotheliomas and not in benign mesothelial proliferations. BAP1 appears to be lost more frequently in epithelial than mixed or sarcomatous mesotheliomas. Homozygous deletion of p16 by FISH is seen in pleural epithelial, mixed, and sarcomatous mesotheliomas, but it is much less frequent in peritoneal mesothelioma. The major drawback to both these tests is limited sensitivity; moreover, failure to find p16 deletion or BAP1 loss does not make a mesothelial process benign ...

This study is for patients with malignant mesothelioma of the lung lining (called pleura) who are planning to have pemetrexed-cisplatin chemotherapy.. We are investigating whether giving a vaccine called TroVax® with pemetrexed-cisplatin chemotherapy is both safe and potentially beneficial in patients with mesothelioma. This vaccine has been used in combination with chemotherapy in other types of cancer and has been shown to be safe. Cancer vaccines work by stimulating the persons immune system to fight the disease, in a similar way to the immune system fighting infection. In laboratory experiments, the vaccine has been shown to stimulate an immune response to a particular protein widely found on mesothelioma cells called 5T4. In patients with mesothelioma it is hoped that the vaccine will stimulate the immune system to attack mesothelioma cells carrying the 5T4 protein.. Pemetrexed-cisplatin chemotherapy is currently seen as the best treatment for patients with mesothelioma, and this is why ...

Breathlessness is the most common symptom of pleural mesothelioma. In the early stages of pleural mesothelioma controlling the pleural fluid build-up around the lungs and having surgery will improve breathlessness. The level of improvement will depend on how healthy your lungs were before you developed pleural mesothelioma and the level of lung function after surgery.. During the process of diagnosing pleural mesothelioma, fluid build-up will have been drained off, and further accumulation of fluid may be prevented by pleurodesis. For more information on pleurodsis click here and see the Pleurodesis section under General tests..

Purpose: Malignant mesothelioma is a highly aggressive tumor and is often diagnosed too late for a curative treatment. We compared diagnostic and prognostic values of mesothelin and osteopontin in 172 patients suspected of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and in a control group of 112 asymptomatic asbestos-exposed subjects.. Experimental Design: Osteopontin and mesothelin were assayed with commercial ELISA kits in a series of 43 patients with pleural metastases of various carcinomas, 33 patients with benign pleural lesions associated with asbestos exposure, 96 patients with MPMs, and 112 asbestos-exposed healthy subjects. Results were correlated with patients diagnosis and survival.. Results: Serum osteopontin level was higher in MPM patients compared with healthy asbestos-exposed subjects and had a good capability to distinguish between these two populations. However, osteopontin was unable to distinguish between MPM and pleural metastatic carcinoma or benign pleural lesions associated ...

Apoptosis is a special form of cell death that if non-functional may lead to diseases such as cancer. A reduction of the intracellular potassium ion (K+) content is necessary for activating enzymes important for the execution of apoptosis. Pharmacological modulation of K+ fluxes to reduce intracellular K+ in cancer cells might therefore force the cells into apoptosis and decrease tumour cell mass.. Human malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a form of cancer often caused by asbestos exposure. Although asbestos has been banned in the Western World, the incidence of MPM is expected to increase. Cisplatin is the first-line chemotherapy for MPM, but acquired resistance to the drug is a clinical problem.. This thesis is mainly based on work with the human malignant pleural mesothelioma cell line (P31 wt) and a cisplatin-resistant sub-line (P31 res). The aim was to first characterize K+ fluxes in P31 wt and P31 res cells, and then manipulate them in order to reduce intracellular K+ and induce ...

Cases of long-term survival with mesothelioma are reported in medical literature, as well as a few cases of spontaneous remission. Long-term survival is more common than spontaneous remission. Only a few cases of spontaneous remission are reported in medical literature (see below, with citations). Some people survive more than a decade with mesothelioma, and recent research indicates some of them share genetic factors that appear to improve their survival. A rare few live for decades with mesothelioma and eventually die of another disease. For example, the esteemed evolutionary biologist Steven A. Gould lived for 20 years with peritoneal mesothelioma before dying of another unrelated condition. Spontaneous remission is less common, but a few cases are documented. For example, a 73-year-old Japanese man with pleural mesothelioma underwent surgery to remove as much cancer as possible. After surgery, tumors grew back, which is very common. The patient tried complementary therapies involving a ...

Well-Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis: A Case Study and Review of the LiteratureWell-Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis: A Case Study and Review of the Literature
The etiology of WDPM has not been clearly elucidated. It has been suggested that proliferative lesions might be related to local trauma, herniorrhaphy, or a long-term hydrocele.17 A relationship between asbestos exposure and mesotheliomas of the tunica has been postulated. Only one case of WDPM of the tunica vaginalis in the literature had a history of asbestos exposure7 and one had a history of a household contact with exposure.4 Our case had no asbestos exposure like the rest majority of reported cases. In addition to asbestos, potassium bromate in drinking water has been shown to increase the risk of MM of the tunica vaginalis in an animal model.15 SV40 is a DNA monkey virus that has been associated with MM and has been implicated in mesotheliomas of the pleura. SV40 contaminated polio vaccines produced between 1955 and 1978 are postulated to have been the route of virus transmission from monkeys to humans. Many studies have demonstrated the presence of SV40 in pleural mesotheliomas through ...
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: A case report and literature reviewMalignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: A case report and literature review
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is an extremely rare tumor without specific clinical manifestations, mainly including hydrocele formation and a painless mass. We herein present the case of a patient with hydrocele of the left testis, without any other complaints. Tunica vaginalis subinvolution was performed, and postoperative pathological examination revealed a malignant mesothelioma arising from the left tunica vaginalis testis. Whole‑body positron emission tomography‑computed tomography (PET‑CT) and subsequent abdominal and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed no evidence of local lymphadenopathy. Radical left orchiectomy was performed after the pathological diagnosis. The pathological examination after the second surgery demonstrated that the tumor had invaded the adjacent periorchium and spermatic cord, but there was no evidence of local lymph node metastasis. Pemetrexed and cisplatin were administered at a dose of 900 and 130 mg, respectively, on the ...
Mesothelioma Risk to be Removed from Granite City Schools - Asbestos.netMesothelioma Risk to be Removed from Granite City Schools - Asbestos.net
Schools in Granite City, Illinois will finally be safer and pose less of a mesothelioma risk for students and teachers alike, as asbestos abatement will occur at the schools over the next two summers. According to St. Louis Todays Suburban Journals, the school board for Granite City recently voted to award $893,351 in contracts to remove asbestos floor tiles containing asbestos at six elementary and middle schools in the district. The money for the abatement will come from $6 million in building improvement bonds that were approved by school board last spring. In total, about 200,000 square feet of the asbestos tile will be replaced over the next two summers. It is the latest asbestos abatement project for the school district, which first began removing asbestos products from its schools in the late 1980s. If you or a loved one has developed mesothelioma following years of asbestos exposure, contact Sokolove Law today to learn more about pursuing a mesothelioma claim. ...

Diagnostic values of soluble mesothelin-related peptides for malignant pleural mesothelioma: updated meta-analysis | BMJ OpenDiagnostic values of soluble mesothelin-related peptides for malignant pleural mesothelioma: updated meta-analysis | BMJ Open
The diagnosis of MPM is always challenging because (1) MPM may appear in patients up to 30-40 years after exposure to asbestos; (2) the clinical and imaging signs of MPM are non-specific; and (3) a definitive diagnosis, which relies on histology, can sometimes be very difficult to achieve, even with the use of immunohistochemistry.5 To date, no single marker or panel of soluble biomarkers is available for a clear diagnosis of MPM.51 ,52. In the present meta-analysis our results indicated that the pooled sensitivity of serum and PF SMRPs was 0.61 and 0.79, respectively, and their specificity was 0.87 and 0.85, respectively. These data indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of SMRPs in serum and PF were not as high as expected. SMRPs might be helpful in confirming (ruling in) MPM if the results are higher than the cut-off values. Thus, positive SMRP test results suggested that invasive diagnostic steps such as medical thoracoscopy might be necessary. On the other hand, the low sensitivity ...
The Effects of Taurolidine, a Novel Antineoplastic Agent, on Human Malignant Mesothelioma | Clinical Cancer ResearchThe Effects of Taurolidine, a Novel Antineoplastic Agent, on Human Malignant Mesothelioma | Clinical Cancer Research
MM is a localized tumor of the pleural or peritoneal cavity, which is closely associated with asbestos exposure. Despite the banning of asbestos in the United States , 25 years ago, this neoplasm continues to be diagnosed due to a long latency period between exposure and clinical disease. In fact, incidence of MM in the United States is expected to rise over the next decade due to this long latent period (1) . Furthermore, in countries such as Italy, Australia, and South Africa, incidence of this malignancy is much higher than in the United States because of more recent asbestos exposure, abandoned mines, and inadequate occupational protection guidelines. In fact, epidemiological studies predict that up to a quarter of one million Europeans will develop MM during the next few decades (11) . There is currently no effective treatment for mesothelioma, and most patients succumb to the disease within 2 years of diagnosis (2) . In this article, we provide evidence that taurolidine, a synthetic ...

Introduction RON/MST1R is a member of the MET tyrosine kinase family and has a putative role in several cancers. Macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) is the only known ligand for RON/MST1R. The MSP-RON signalling pathway has been implicated in a variety of cellular functions such as macrophage activity and wound healing. We have previously identified MST1R/RON as frequently activated in MPM, and high positivity for RON staining was an independent predictor of favourable prognosis.. Methods A panel of mesothelioma cell lines were screened for the expression of MSP and RON at the mRNA and protein level. The proliferative response of Ju77, H226 and Met5A (non-malignant transformed human pleural mesothelial cells) to MSP treatment was determined. A phospho-kinase array was utilised to detect the downstream signalling pathways activated upon MSP stimulation. The effect of two MST1R/RON inhibitors (a) a pre-clinical monoclonal antibody (RON8, Imclone) and (b) a small molecule inhibitor on ...

Peritoneal mesothelioma for the primary and peritoneal mesothelium cell tumor of the organization, clinical rare. Pathology can be divided into adenomatoid mesothelioma , cystic mesothelioma and malignant mesothelioma (peritoneal malignant mesothelioma, PMM). The first two are benign. Cystic mesothelioma was particularly prevalent in women, the cause is unknown, occurred in the surrounding pelvic or annex, was single or multiple cystic masses; patients often palpable abdominal mass and treatment. PMM account for about 30% of malignant mesothelioma; its occurrence and also closely related to asbestos exposure, about 5% of the patients have a history of exposure [1]; asbestos fiber intake by mouth, through the intestinal wall and translocation to the peritoneal disease . Exposure to asbestos from the diagnosis, the disease incubation period of up to 25 to 40 years. However, from 1951 to 1993, domestic 20 reported 161 cases of PMM in only 1 case has a history of exposure to asbestos. No history of ...
Celebrity Diet Fitness: Asbestos and MesotheliomaCelebrity Diet Fitness: Asbestos and Mesothelioma
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. It has also been suggested that washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can put a person at risk for developing mesothelioma.[3] Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking, but smoking greatly increases the risk of other asbestos-induced cancers.[4] Compensation via asbestos funds or lawsuits is an important issue in mesothelioma (see asbestos and the law ...

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Occupational and Non-Occupational Asbestos Exposures | MedCraveMalignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Occupational and Non-Occupational Asbestos Exposures | MedCrave
Currently, mesothelioma mortality surveillance is based on territorial cancer registries in Germany [50], on death certificates in Great Britain [9], and on both in the United States [51,52], whereas Italian ReNaM is one of the largest extent system of epidemiological surveillance for MM and also in the field of occupational disease monitoring [24]. By the early 1960s, while in the Great Britain, the United States and Scandinavian countries, asbestos consumption was already decreasing, unfortunately, the Italian consumption rose in the same period and began to decrease only when it was known a ban would be put in place [24]. The development of a complete national cancer incidence registry in the Scandinavian countries contribute to systematic linkage with occupational information archives [53-55]. The Italian ReNaM dataset has some critical limitations because its development has been non-homogeneous [24]. In Taiwan, the majority of asbestos used was imported with the amount peaking at 35,000 ...

Our estimate of the economic burden of illness in Canada attributable to occupational asbestos exposure is $C831 million in direct and indirect costs for newly identified cases of mesothelioma and lung cancer in 2011 and $C1.521 billion in quality of life costs based on a value of $C100 000 per QALY. This amounts to $C356 429 and $C652 369 per case, respectively. Our estimate of the economic burden of illness is $C2.352 billion for newly identified cases of mesothelioma and lung cancer in 2011. To put it into perspective, the Canadian economy had a gross domestic product of $C1.8 trillion that year, so the burden identified represents 0.131% of this amount. Though this fraction may not seem large, the monetary amount is nonetheless substantive, particularly given that it is only newly diagnosed cases and a conservative estimate of the incidence of illness and related costs due to asbestos exposure. We did not consider other illnesses known to be attributable to asbestos exposure such as pleural ...
Mesothelioma Victims Daughter Starts Charity in her Fathers Name - Asbestos.netMesothelioma Victim's Daughter Starts Charity in her Father's Name - Asbestos.net
The daughter of mesothelioma victim, Julie MacDougall, has started a charity in her fathers name to help raise awareness for the rare cancer. Julies father John MacDougall was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2006 when he was rushed to the hospital after collapsing and complaining of breathlessness, heavy sweating, and bloating. John MacDougall died at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, U.K., in August 2008; he was only 60 years old. Now nearly two years since her fathers death, Julie, with her mother and brother, has started the John MacDougall Mesothelioma Trust to help others just like her family and her father. Julie has said that starting this charity in memory of her father is the way she is coping with her loss. John MacDougalls mesothelioma diagnosis has been attributed to his early days as a shipyard worker during the 1960s and 70s. Like many shipyard workers of this time, he was exposed to asbestos by handling asbestos-laden products and materials- as part of his job. In 2007, John ...

Research directly links asbestos exposure to deadly diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer. The government has acknowledged the long-term danger associated with asbestos exposure by imposing training guidelines, like wearing hazmat suits, to ensure its safe removal from buildings. The irony is obvious when you consider that just last year the United States still exported 715 tons of this deadly poison, which kills 10,000 Americans annually, to use in shingles, brake pads and other household appliances.. More than four decades ago, the Environmental Protection Agency declared asbestos a known human carcinogen yet were still importing it in 2010?. Its hard to convince the public a total ban is needed when they already believe its outlawed. Even politicians believe a ban is in place. As the Simmons law firm attends the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundations 2010 International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma this week, Im reminded of a story from last years event..

David Marshall Receives Defense Verdict in Mesothelioma CaseDavid Marshall Receives Defense Verdict in Mesothelioma Case
March 22, 2010 (Wilmington, DE) - David Marshall obtained a defense verdict on behalf of a national building products manufacturer of asbestos cement pipe in a wrongful death case. The plaintiff alleged household asbestos exposure from his father, a pipe layer at an Army ammunition plant in Kansas. The plaintiff developed peritoneal mesothelioma and died at the age of 38. There were no other defendants remaining in the case at the time of trial. The defendant presented evidence that the pipe used by the plaintiffs father was that of another manufacturer and also presented evidence that the mesothelioma was idiopathic in nature and was not related to any asbestos exposure. The case was tried over a two-week period in Wilmington, Delaware before the Honorable Mary Johnston.. This was only the second case to go to verdict in Delaware since the recent dramatic increase in filings there. The first verdict yielded an award of over $2 million.. ...

According to Guerreros complaint, cost overruns and delays were imposing significant pressure on the city to get the job done, and that led to asbestos safety concerns being dismissed. It reads in part, "The remodeling became much more extensive than planned, which thus disturbed more asbestos, frequently contaminating and re-contaminating work areas. Respondent (the city) was under extraordinary public scrutiny and pressure due to severe cost overruns and occupancy delays.". The claim points to the city ending its contract with its long-time air monitoring contractor to support its assertion that it acted to diminish awareness of the potential for mesothelioma risk, saying the city "was using its control of sampling protocols to intentionally avoid reporting the extent of asbestos contamination which it could in turn utilize to mislead regulators and continue to expose unknowing workers, including claimant.".

Asbestos Related Lung Cancer | Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawsuit, Lawyer, Law Firm, AttorneyAsbestos Related Lung Cancer | Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawsuit, Lawyer, Law Firm, Attorney
While much of the focus on cancers caused by asbestos is on mesothelioma, other thoracic carcinomas, such as adenocarcinoma, are also caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is estimated to account for 3,400 to 8,500 new lung cancer cases in the United States each year. Very often, asbestos-related cancer victims also suffer from asbestosis, a scarring of the lung tissue caused by asbestos exposure. About one in seven people with asbestosis will eventually develop lung cancer.. Asbestos-related lung disease occurred at very high rates toward the middle of the 20th century, when patients who were exposed decades earlier to asbestos eventually developed disease. British asbestos workers were among the first who were observed to have lung cancer related to asbestos. Continuing sources of exposure are in the asbestos removal and general construction industries. The delay between exposure to asbestos and the development of cancer is generally 20 or more years. ...

Mesothelioma is almost always caused by being exposed to asbestos. This mineral is made up of microscopic fibres and used to be widely used in the construction, plumbing, shipbuilding, power station, railway engineering, painting and decorating industries.. These tiny fibres can easily get in the lungs and cause damage over time. Mesothelioma typically takes more than 20 years after exposure to asbestos to become apparent.. The use of asbestos was completely banned in 1999, so the risk of exposure is now much lower, but asbestos can still be found in many older buildings, including pipe and boiler lagging and artex plastering. You should never disturb asbestos if you find it in a building.. More than 2,600 people in the UK are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. Because it takes a long time for symptoms to develop, the majority of people who are diagnosed are between 60 and 80 years old. Men are affected more commonly than women, because they are more likely to have worked in an industry ...

Candidate microRNAs from microarray profiling of tumor samples from 8 long (median: 53.7 months) and 8 short (median: 6.4 months) survivors following extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) were validated by RT-qPCR in 48 additional EPP samples. Kaplan-Meier log ranking was used to further explore the association between microRNA expression and overall survival (OS). Binary logistic regression was used to construct a microRNA signature (miR-Score) that was able to predict an OS of ≥20 months. Performance of the miR-Score was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and validated in a series of 43 tumor samples from patients who underwent palliative surgery [pleurectomy/decortication (P/D)].. ...
Week 643: Case 1 | Johns Hopkins Surgical Pathology Unknown ConferenceWeek 643: Case 1 | Johns Hopkins Surgical Pathology Unknown Conference
Discussion: All of the choices in this case are mesotheliomas. We dont use the term "mesothelioma" for an adenomatoid tumor, despite it having all the immunohistochemical features of a mesothelioma, since it is a well-characterized benign entity that has been known as "adenomatoid tumor". Adenomatoid tumors typically involve the epididymis and not the tunica vaginalis. They are composed of tubules, lined by flattened often vacuolated cells, that are embedded within either a fibrous or smooth muscle stroma, not resembling the papillary morphology seen in the current case. Malignant mesotheliomas typically have greater cytological atypia, increased mitotic activity, and infiltrate beneath the surface mesothelium lining the tunica. Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma is composed entirely of simple papillary structures lined by single layer of cuboidal cells, and behaves in a benign fashion but can be multifocal. The term of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of uncertain malignant ...

The mesothelium consists of a single layer of flattened to cuboidal cells forming the epithelial lining of the serous cavities of the body including the peritoneal, pericardial and pleural cavitiesThe processes leading to the development of peritoneal mesothelioma remain unresolved, although it has been proposed that asbestos fibres from the lung are transported to the abdomen and associated organs via the lymphatic system. Pleural contamination with asbestos or other mineral fibres has been shown to cause cancer. Long thin asbestos fibers (blue asbestos, amphibole fibers) are more potent carcinogens than "feathery fibers" (chrysotile or white asbestos fibers).[4] However, there is now evidence that smaller particles may be more dangerous than the larger fibers.[1][2] Mesothelioma development in rats has been demonstrated following intra-pleural inoculation of phosphorylated chrysotile fibresAnalysis of the interactions between asbestos fibres and DNA has shown that phagocytosed fibres are able ...

Most people with DMM have a brief history of exposure to asbestos; however, if they are uninformed that such exposure occurred, they may be ignorant that they are in danger. A patient with DMM an average of has one or more of the shortness of breath and symptoms: chest pain, following signs, unexplained weight reduction, exhaustion, fever, or a cough. An x-ray often suggests that the pleural tissue around the lungs has thickened as a result of development of a number of nodules or small malignant growths. Sometimes, there may be just one large development. The kinds of cells which make up the cancer might be epithelioid, combined, or sarcomatoid, when a biopsy of the cancer tissue is performed. Individuals with epithelioid cell cancers tend to survive fairly longer; these with sarcomatoid cancers usually have the shortest survival.

SV402
  • A large cohort of people in the western world was accidentally parenterally inoculated with live SV40 through contaminated polio vaccines given between 1959 and 1961, and this might be a factor in the current continuing rise in the incidence of mesothelioma in the United States, Britain and Europe. (edu.kz)
  • The present study investigated the presence of SV40LTAg DNA in recently diagnosed cases of mesothelioma in Britain and the feasibility of detecting the SV40 DNA in archival tissue for retrospective analysis of cases in the peri-vaccination period. (edu.kz)

  • Peritoneal mesothelioma is a relatively rare tumor but highly aggressive malignancy originated in the serosal linings of the peritoneal cavity [ 1 ]. (alliedacademies.org)
  • Cell-matrix interactions are recognized important determinants of tumor growth and invasiveness but the role of the extracellular matrix in mesothelioma is unknown. (edu.au)
  • This study examined the effect of inhibiting collagen production on mesothelioma cell proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. (edu.au)
  • Collagen production by mesothelioma cells was inhibited by incubating cells in vitro with the proline analogue thiaproline (thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid) or by oral administration of thiaproline in a murine tumor model. (edu.au)
  • Epigenetic inactivation of tumor suppressor genes is involved in the development of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). (qxmd.com)
