Mesothelioma Report Shows All Types of Asbestos Can Be Lethal
A new report from researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston confirms what many scientists have long believed – that no type of asbestos is “safe” and that all can lead to malignant mesothelioma. In a study of 62 malignant peritoneal mesothelioma patients published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, the researchers found that more than a quarter of the cases of diffuse peritoneal … Continue reading Mesothelioma Report Shows All Types of Asbestos Can Be Lethal
Mesothelioma Incidence Unaffected by Ambient Asbestos in Cities
City dwellers are no more likely to contract malignant pleural mesothelioma from asbestos dust in the air than people who live in rural areas – even though there is more asbestos dust in cities. That is the conclusion of a new study published in the journal Risk Analysis. The study was based on the fact that so-called “ambient asbestos”, or asbestos fibers that are free … Continue reading Mesothelioma Incidence Unaffected by Ambient Asbestos in Cities
The World’s Workers Still Dying From Malignant Mesothelioma
An international study of malignant mesothelioma suggests that deaths from the asbestos cancer have increased in recent years, in spite of advances in diagnostic and treatment tools. The study included data and estimates on deaths from malignant mesothelioma in 230 countries between 1994 and 2014. Based on information obtained from the World Health Organization, a team of scientists in Japan, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, the US, … Continue reading The World’s Workers Still Dying From Malignant Mesothelioma
Second Study Confirms Pleural Mesothelioma Risk Plateau
Another new study has confirmed the idea that pleural mesothelioma risk does not appear to increase indefinitely after asbestos exposure, but instead may eventually hit a plateau. The newest study involved more than 1,800 asbestos cement workers in Pavia, Italy. Researchers in the department of public health at the University of Pavia and the University Eastern Piedmont in Novara computed the mortality ratios for the … Continue reading Second Study Confirms Pleural Mesothelioma Risk Plateau
The Economic Burden of Malignant Mesothelioma
Patients with malignant mesothelioma and their families are not the only ones impacted by the costs associated with the asbestos-linked cancer. There is also a societal economic burden that can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. That is the conclusion of a new report published by Canadian occupational medicine and public health experts in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine. A History of … Continue reading The Economic Burden of Malignant Mesothelioma
New Mesothelioma Study: Asbestos Fiber Burden Does Not Decline With Time
Mesothelioma has one of the longest latency periods of any disease. It is not unusual for patients to develop the asbestos cancer many decades after their last exposure to asbestos. Now, a new German study offers a more detailed explanation of why that is. Although the body is adept at ridding itself of many kinds of toxins, when asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, their … Continue reading New Mesothelioma Study: Asbestos Fiber Burden Does Not Decline With Time
Mesothelioma Risk Continues to Rise for Decades After Asbestos Exposure
A pair of Polish researchers have confirmed what a number of other studies have suggested – that the risk of contracting malignant mesothelioma continues to rise, even decades after a person’s last exposure to asbestos. The study was conducted by asbestos-exposure experts at the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine and included a total of 131 patients with pleural mesothelioma. Another 655 people enrolled in a … Continue reading Mesothelioma Risk Continues to Rise for Decades After Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma Risk and the Timing of Asbestos Exposure
The timing of a person’s exposure to asbestos may play a bigger role in the development of malignant pleural mesothelioma than previously thought. A new French study has found that asbestos exposure earlier in a worker’s career appeared to raise their risk of developing pleural mesothelioma more than asbestos exposure later in their work life. Exposure Timing and Mesothelioma Risk The study evaluated the cases … Continue reading Mesothelioma Risk and the Timing of Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma Risk in the Families of Asbestos-Exposed Workers
A new Italian study is a sobering reminder that living with someone who has worked around asbestos can have fatal consequences. Researchers examined the cases of 33 women and 2 men with malignant mesothelioma whose only known exposure to asbestos was through a family member – usually a husband or father – with a history of occupational asbestos exposure. Like asbestos-exposed workers, these family members were … Continue reading Mesothelioma Risk in the Families of Asbestos-Exposed Workers
Doll Making Linked to Pleural Mesothelioma
People who worked in factories that produced cloth dolls may have to be added to the list of people at risk of developing deadly malignant pleural mesothelioma. A new Italian study is the second study to draw a link between cases of the lung-related asbestos cancer and doll manufacturing. Asbestos-Related Diseases and Dollmaking The new study utilized data from the Province of Brescia Mesothelioma Registry, … Continue reading Doll Making Linked to Pleural Mesothelioma
