HOUSTON, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mesothelioma.us, a
free online resource that offers invaluable and in-depth articles
and information packets for people who have been diagnosed with
mesothelioma, has just posted a new article that looks at some of
the controversial new research that is being conducted on the
disease.
As the new article on http://mesothelioma.us/ explained,
mesothelioma is still quite difficult to recognize, challenging to
diagnose and unfortunately, exceptionally hard to treat in an
effective manner. While oncologists understand that mesothelioma is
related to the exposure and inhalation of asbestos, the disease
typically incubates for some time before symptoms begin to
appear.
"There are many organizations that are involved with research on
mesothelioma and this includes the companies responsible for
exposing employees and their families to asbestos," the new article
noted, adding that those diagnosed with mesothelioma have
discovered that they can claim compensation for the exposure,
holding the companies responsible.
"This means that these companies have a responsibility to help
with the costly research."
As the number of cases of mesothelioma continues to rise, the
National Institute of Cancer is committed to its research on the
disease--including the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
Some of the new treatment methods include photodynamic therapy,
immunotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy, which
targets the affected areas with radiation while avoiding healthy
cells and tissues.
"A lot of research on Mesothelioma is devoted to learning about
how asbestos affects cells, and how cells are changed by exposure
to this material. With the knowledge gained from this research we
hope to learn how this can be prevented or minimized," the article
noted.
Clinical trials are also being conducted on new treatments that
may have the ability to help people with mesothelioma. Because
patients who have been diagnosed with the disease are
participating, the way they are responding to the treatments is
allowing researchers to accurately gauge the results.
