| Description: |
| Patients: This Phase II study involved 10 patients with malignant mesothelioma.
Treatment: The treatment consisted of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (adriamycin) (high-dose) with the drugs dexrazoxane (for cardio-protection), and GM-CSF (to lessen bone marrow toxicity). Toxicity: One patient died of sepsis. In addition, grade 3-4 toxicities included hematologic, infection, esophagitis/dysphagia, and cardiac function. This study was terminated early due to excessive toxicity. Results: No patient responded to treatment and the median overall survival was 4.8 months. Correspondence: Michael P. Kosty, MD |
“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.
All you have to do is click the button below now. You will receive the book within 72 hours.
I wish you good health.
Sincerely,
"It has been over four years now and I can honestly say I am doing great. I highly recommend this book because it is inspirational and educational."
