Three to four thousand cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma will occur in the United States this year. Single-modality therapy with radiation plays a role for palliation. Radiation can prevent tumor recurrence at drain/instrumentation sites and provide symptomatic relief of pain and other complaints.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1991
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors that can be classified as localized or diffuse. Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas are invariably malignant. Although the frequency is low in the general population, it is more common in persons with a heavy occupational exposure to asbestos, and is considered as a signal tumor to asbestos exposure with medicolegal ...

Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer and its global incidence continues to increase. There has been strong interest in the search for a biomarker that would be of value for the diagnosis, prognosis and disease monitoring of mesothelioma. Large series evaluating the use of novel candidate markers have recently been published.To date, global gene ...

Mesothelioma is a killer, 3000 deaths a year in UK. Mesothelioma has the quality of a silent killer, as it manifests itself at a very late stage, usually when it is too late. The cause, or one of the causes, appears to be the inhalation of asbestos dust.

AbstractMalignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumour that commonly affects the mesothelial surfaces of the pleural and peritoneal cavities, and occasionally, the tunica vaginalis and the pericardium. Formerly a rare tumour, MM is increasing in incidence in Australia due to the heavy nationwide use of asbestos from 1940 until the 1980s.

Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells lining body cavities including the pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, and tunica vaginalis. Most malignant mesotheliomas occur in the chest and are frequently associated with a history of asbestos exposure.

The difficulties in diagnosing pleural mesothelioma, both clinically and histopathologically, are documented by our experiences with this rare tumour during an 18-year-period. A rising incidence of pleural mesothelioma is reported in the literature, which is suspected to be caused by the increasing use of asbestos. This increase is not represented in a

This study reports changes in the frequency of detection of various asbestos fiber types between 1982 and 2005. Crocidolite is increasingly detected in U.S. mesothelioma patients. The percentage of crocidolite fibers detected in lung tissue has risen from 4 to 10%, and the percentage of cases in which crocidolite was detected increased from 19 to 37 ...
