Mesothelioma Treatments
Mesothelioma
(also called asbestos lung cancer) is a disease that causes the
deadly tumors to develop in the chest and lung cavity. This site
is intended as a guide to patients with mesothelioma, providing
updates on the latest therapy and innovations in treating this
deadly cancer. Most cases are the result of occupational asbestos
exposure and the patient is usually entitled to a substantial
settlement package for treatment and compensation.
In the past few years there has been
an increasing awareness of mesotheloma. Both the medical profession
and many drug makers have focused attention on the disease. This
has resulted in the development of promising new drug and chemotherapies
including Alimta, which promise to re-define future cancer treatment.
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer
with less than 5,000 patients in the United States. However,
the incidence of the cancer still appears to be high among older
workers.
