Exploring a New Cell-Based Therapy to Treat Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer, can be very difficult to treat. But researchers have a new model for a cell-based therapy with Paclitaxel. New results were recently published in Biochemical Pharmacology. Mesothelioma Treatment Malignant mesothelioma is a very aggressive cancer. Pleural mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers the lungs and chest wall. It can often take around 40 years for pleural mesothelioma to be diagnosed. Imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans may help in the diagnosis, but a tissue biopsy usually confirms the disease. In this latest study, researchers used two tools. They used a group of human cells called mesenchymal stromal cells. And, they used Paclitaxel, a medicine…
