" It has been a challenge to find effective chemotherapeutic treatments for malignant mesothelioma. Over the last several decades numerous single-drug and combination regimens have been examined, but no standard treatment with chemotherapy alone has emerged. Possible explanations for this lack of success are the heterogeneity between the different subclasses of mesothelioma and the difficulties experienced in determining responses on computed tomographic (CT) scan.
Asbestos Related Lung Cancer
This kind of cancer differs from Mesothelioma Cancer in that the cancerous cells begin developing from within airways. Lung cancer can develop in response to asbestos irritation in the trachea, bronchial tubes, or bronchioles and spread to other organs throughout the body if not diagnosed and treated early. Cigarette smokers who are also exposed to asbestos have a significantly heightened risk of developing lung cancer when compared to non-smokers.
Compensation is already being recovered on behalf of thousands of patients and families of those exposed to asbestos and diagnosed with lung cancer.
