New Mesothelioma Study Compares Different Types of Asbestos Exposure
A new Turkish study is shining a spotlight on the role of environmental asbestos exposure in the development of malignant mesothelioma, an aggressive malignancy with no known cure. Malignant mesothelioma, which occurs on the membranes around the lungs, the abdominal organs or, more rarely, the heart, is most often associated with occupational asbestos exposure. But a new study in the Archives of Environmental and Occupational … Continue reading New Mesothelioma Study Compares Different Types of Asbestos Exposure
What Type of Mesothelioma Do I Have? CT May Be Able to Tell
Researchers from one of the country’s top cancer centers say it may be possible to tell what subtype of pleural mesothelioma a person has by using computed tomography (CT). Pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive lung-related cancer for which patients and their doctors must develop a treatment plan quickly to get ahead of the disease. The challenge is that, not only is mesothelioma highly resistant to … Continue reading What Type of Mesothelioma Do I Have? CT May Be Able to Tell
How Asbestos Turns Healthy Cells into Mesothelioma Tumors
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how malignant mesothelioma may take hold in the body thanks to new research from the University of Vermont. A team of pathologists, biologists, and geneticists have released a report suggesting that exosomes, tiny vesicles secreted by cells, undergo dangerous changes when the cells encounter asbestos fibers. According to the researchers, exosomes from asbestos-exposed cells can carry gene-altering cargo … Continue reading How Asbestos Turns Healthy Cells into Mesothelioma Tumors
New Technology Could Change How Mesothelioma Treatment is Monitored
New technology could eventually make it easier, less painful, and less expensive to track the progress of patients undergoing treatment for malignant mesothelioma and other cancers. A research team led by University of Wisconsin-Madison pharmacy professor Seungpyo Hong has developed what they say is a more efficient method for capturing free-floating cancer cells in the blood. The developers say the system is far more effective … Continue reading New Technology Could Change How Mesothelioma Treatment is Monitored
Measuring the Emotional Toll of Mesothelioma
A new report suggests that too many mesothelioma patients and their families may not be coping as well as they could be with the implications of their diagnosis. Italian researchers in environmental health, occupational disease, and psychology conducted extensive interviews with 10 mesothelioma patients and 9 of their caregivers. In a report in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, the team concluded that families with malignant … Continue reading Measuring the Emotional Toll of Mesothelioma
PET Beats CT in Study of Mesothelioma Staging Tools
When it comes to accurately assessing the extent of an individual case of malignant pleural mesothelioma, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) may be more effective than Computed Tomography (CT). A combination of the two is even better. That conclusion comes from researchers at the University of Toronto who analyzed the cases of more than 100 mesothelioma patients being considered for multimodality therapy at Princess Margaret Cancer … Continue reading PET Beats CT in Study of Mesothelioma Staging Tools
Simple Blood Test Detects Mesothelioma Progression
Malignant mesothelioma patients may not need multiple CT scans to tell whether their cancer has progressed in the months after chemotherapy treatment. UK researchers say a simple blood test to check their levels of the protein mesothelin costs less, requires fewer hospital visits, and is 96 percent accurate in most mesothelioma patients. Measuring Mesothelioma Progression The study was conducted by scientists at the University … Continue reading Simple Blood Test Detects Mesothelioma Progression
Mini-Tumors May Help Doctors Develop Personalized Mesothelioma Treatments
Doctors at Wake Forest University are using miniature lab-grown three dimensional tumors to test personalized mesothelioma treatments. The mini-tumors are known as organoids and are grown from biopsy tissue taken from patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. Researchers say they can serve as models to try out new mesothelioma therapies before using them on patients. “There is a need for model systems to help predict personalized responses … Continue reading Mini-Tumors May Help Doctors Develop Personalized Mesothelioma Treatments
Six Resolutions Mesothelioma Patients Should Make in 2018
The New Year is often a time to set new goals and make plans. While it is important for mesothelioma patients and their families to fully embrace the present, there are also some goals worth setting, even if the prognosis seems grim. The following six New Year’s resolutions can help ensure the best possible quality of life and treatment outcomes for people battling malignant mesothelioma … Continue reading Six Resolutions Mesothelioma Patients Should Make in 2018
Mindfulness May Help Mesothelioma Patients Cope
There is new evidence that lung cancer patients who receive training in mindfulness can dramatically lower their feelings of stress and anxiety. Lung-related cancers like pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer have been shown to produce some of the highest levels of anxiety of any cancer. Although there are differences between the asbestos cancer malignant mesothelioma and other types of lung cancer, both malignancies tend … Continue reading Mindfulness May Help Mesothelioma Patients Cope
“My Name is Paul Kraus and I Have Survived Mesothelioma for Over 20 Years.”
In 1997 I was diagnosed with mesothelioma. The doctors gave me just a few short months to live...
But here I am, 20 years later, alive and well.
I wrote a book explaining how I became the longest living mesothelioma survivor in the world.
Today, I'd like to give you a copy for free because I want more people to survive this disease.
