Supplement May Boost the Effectiveness of Mesothelioma Treatment
A supplement that claims to increase oxygen in the tissues might boost the effectiveness of mesothelioma treatment. That is the conclusion of researchers at Italy’s National Cancer Institute in Rome. The group tested the supplement Cellfood (CF) on several types of cancer cells in the lab. They also gave the supplement to mice with implanted human mesothelioma tumors. CF appeared to boost the effectiveness of mesothelioma treatment with radiation or chemoradiation. What is Cellfood? Cellfood (Deutrosultazyme) is a nutraceutical produced by NuScience Corporation. A nutraceutical is a nutritional supplement that may function like a drug in some ways. According to NuScience, Cellfood contains colloidal minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and dissolved oxygen. Lab studies show that it has antioxidant effects and … Continue reading Supplement May Boost the Effectiveness of Mesothelioma Treatment
Can Yogurt and Fiber Reduce Mesothelioma Risk?
The findings of a new lung cancer study suggest that eating yogurt and fiber might help reduce mesothelioma risk. The study in JAMA Oncology involved more than 1.4 lung cancer patients from around the world. Researchers assessed the results of 10 dietary studies between 2017 and 2019. They found a “synergistic association” between eating fiber and yogurt and a lower risk of lung cancer. Pleural mesothelioma is a lung-related cancer with many of the same characteristics as lung cancer. It is possible that the same dietary habits might reduce mesothelioma risk, too. The Yin and Yang of an Anti-Cancer Diet The lung cancer researchers did not choose to study yogurt and fiber randomly. Dietary fiber is the main source of … Continue reading Can Yogurt and Fiber Reduce Mesothelioma Risk?
Financial Stress Could Impact Mesothelioma Quality of Life
Financial stress during treatment is likely to have an impact on both quality of life and outcomes for pleural mesothelioma patients. That finding comes from a recent Johns Hopkins study of patients with newly-diagnosed lung cancer. The study found that cancer patients who were under financial strain had decreased quality of life. The report appears in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology. It includes a list of guidelines to help identify patients at risk for “financial toxicity”. The Financial Burden of Mesothelioma Treatment Cancer treatment is rarely inexpensive. Thanks to advances in mesothelioma therapies, patient outcomes are improving. But the costs of these cutting-edge mesothelioma treatments can be even higher than standard therapies. John Hopkins researchers wanted to see if … Continue reading Financial Stress Could Impact Mesothelioma Quality of Life
Risk for Malnutrition Among Older Mesothelioma Patients
A new study out of Brazil suggests that many older mesothelioma patients may be at risk for malnutrition and the problems that go with it. The study included more than 4,500 Brazliian cancer patients from 45 hospitals. They were evaluated for their nutritional status, nutritional risk, and nutrition-related symptoms. Among the 25% of cancer patients over 65, more than half faced a moderate to severe risk for malnutrition. The findings suggest it is a problem hospitals should identify and address early for the best mesothelioma treatment outcomes. Mesothelioma and Nutritional Status As with other types of cancer, nutrition has an affect on the treatment of people with mesothelioma. An Australian study of pleural mesothelioma patients earlier this year found that … Continue reading Risk for Malnutrition Among Older Mesothelioma Patients
Curcumin Supplement Delays Mesothelioma Tumor Growth in Mice
Italian researchers say a curcumin supplement containing a compound found in black pepper slowed the growth of mesothelioma tumors in mice. The commercially available supplement is called Curcumin-C3complex/Bioperine. This is the first time this formulation has been studied for malignant mesothelioma. Lab-grown human mesothelioma cells stopped growing when scientists treated them with the curcumin supplement. The treatment did the same in live mice. The researchers suggest that the curcumin supplement may work synergistically with standard treatments. What is in Curcumin-C3complex/Bioperine? Curcumin is the most bioactive compound in turmeric. Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its bright yellow color. Several scientific studies suggest that curcumin and other curcuminoid compounds in turmeric have powerful health benefits. These compounds are anti-inflammatory and … Continue reading Curcumin Supplement Delays Mesothelioma Tumor Growth in Mice
Keto Diet for Mesothelioma Not Advised Despite New Research
New research suggests a diet low in carbs and sugar may slow the growth of certain kinds of cancer cells. The news may have mesothelioma patients wondering about the value of the keto diet for mesothelioma, too. The new study appears in the most recent issue of the journal Cell Reports. Researchers fed a restrictive ketogenic diet to mice with a certain kind of lung cancer. They also gave them a drug to keep the kidneys from absorbing extra glucose. The trial was not focused specifically on the keto diet for mesothelioma. But the findings do show that sugar and certain cancers do not mix. What is the Ketogenic Diet? The ketogenic – or “keto” – diet is very low … Continue reading Keto Diet for Mesothelioma Not Advised Despite New Research
Depression After Mesothelioma Diagnosis: Women Are at Highest Risk
White women are more likely than other patients to experience depression after mesothelioma diagnosis. That word comes from researchers at the University of Florida. The team analyzed the cases of more than 120,000 patients with late-stage cancer. Although all patients face a risk of depression with an advanced cancer diagnosis, the problem appears to be worse among white women. The research team says understanding how cancer news affects patients can help doctors avoid diagnosis bias. Cancer Records from the SEER Database The Florida study provides important insights into who is likely to get depression after mesothelioma diagnosis. The study included 123,066 advanced cancer cases from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. All study subjects received their diagnosis between … Continue reading Depression After Mesothelioma Diagnosis: Women Are at Highest Risk
New Study Suggests Music May Offer Relief from Mesothelioma Pain
There is new evidence that listening to music might offer some relief from mesothelioma pain and fatigue. A new study in the European Journal of Cancer Care details a 6-month experiment on the effects of music on cancer pain, anxiety, and fatigue. Cancer patients listened to music at home five times a week. The results show that many of them started to feel better after just six weeks. Finding Relief from Mesothelioma Pain Pain is a common symptom of malignant mesothelioma, especially as the disease progresses. Patients with pleural mesothelioma have cancer on the lining around their lungs. These patients may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pain. Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma have cancer on the … Continue reading New Study Suggests Music May Offer Relief from Mesothelioma Pain
Antioxidant Supplements for Mesothelioma Patients Might be Dangerous
Two separate lung cancer studies suggest that antioxidant supplements for mesothelioma patients may not be advisable. The studies appear in the most recent issue of the medical journal Cell. Both focus on the role of antioxidants in the growth and spread of lung cancer. Although mesothelioma is not the same as lung cancer, it affects the same area of the body and shares many of the same characteristics. The new research suggests that, instead of fighting cancer, antioxidant supplements for mesothelioma patients, might actually help it grow. Supplements for Cancer Patients Antioxidant vitamins like A, C, and E are plentiful in fruits and vegetables. Many people take antioxidant supplements to make up for a poor diet. These vitamins can help … Continue reading Antioxidant Supplements for Mesothelioma Patients Might be Dangerous
Eating to Beat Mesothelioma: New Study Sheds Light on Diet/Cancer Link
A new study on the link between diet and cancer contains important information for patients trying to beat mesothelioma. The study was conducted by researchers at Tufts University and published this week in JNCI Cancer Spectrum. It compares American diets and rates of several kinds of cancer in 2015. The goal was to determine how many cancer cases might be blamed on poor diet. Although the study did not focus on mesothelioma cancer, patients determined to beat mesothelioma would be wise to take note of the findings. Poor Nutrition Can Lead to Cancer The Tufts researchers estimated that more than 80,000 cases of cancer diagnosed in 2015 happened because of suboptimal diet. That is more than 5 percent of all … Continue reading Eating to Beat Mesothelioma: New Study Sheds Light on Diet/Cancer Link
