Mesothelioma in the Calf [PDF]
Three cases of mesothelioma in calves are described. Two were full-term foetuses, the other was 3 months old. There was ascites in all three. The tumours formed multiple, discrete nodules on the parietal and visceral peritoneum, and in the older calf also on the pleura. Lymph nodes were unaffected.

The therapeutic implications of the genomic analysis of malignant pleural mesothelioma
Delineation of the genomic complexities of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has lagged behind other malignancies. Zhang et al. meaningfully add to our understanding of MPM, and their findings emphasize the need to combine drug development efforts ...

Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment
Introduction Mesothelioma is a key asbestos-related disease (ARD) but can be difficult to diagnose. Countries presumably ban asbestos to reduce future ARD burdens, but it is unknown if countries ban asbestos as a consequence of ARD burdens.

Estimated future incidence of malignant mesothelioma in South Korea: Projection from 2014 to 2033. [PDF]
Malignant mesothelioma is a malignant tumor on the pleura or the peritoneum caused mostly by asbestos. Although asbestos is not currently used in South Korea, the incidence of mesothelioma is increasing due to its long latent period. This study predicted

Asbestos Consumption and Malignant Mesothelioma Mortality Trends in the Major User Countries
Background: The causal association between mesothelioma and asbestos exposure is conclusive, and many studies have proved that the trend in asbestos use is a strong predictor of the pattern in mesothelioma cases with an adequate latency time (generally ...

Understanding clinical decision-making in mesothelioma care: a mixed methods study
Introduction Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare, incurable cancer arising from previous asbestos exposure; patients have a poor prognosis, with a median survival rate of 8–14 months. Variation in mesothelioma clinical decision-making remains common
