Across the world, victims of asbestos exposure are diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer. Until now, doctors have used radiation-based therapy to treat the disease, but scientists are researching immunotherapy to find a cure for mesothelioma. Why Look for an alternative?Mesothelioma rarely responds to a single type of treatment. Chemotherapy is often combined with surgery and radiation therapy for a cancer in its early stages. These treatments are invasive, aggressive, and are limited to patients who can withstand them. Sometimes these methods help extend the life of certain patients, but scientists are looking elsewhere for a cure for mesothelioma.Why Immunotherapy?Researchers are looking to alternative, less-invasive methods like immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy, which assaults the tumor with radiation and has a number of negative side effects, immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the immune system to reject and destroy tumors using host defenses. When successful, the patients immune system will cause the tumor to shrink.Clinical TrialsAn immunotherapy clinical trial in patients with mesothelioma is currently underway in Washington, D.C. Expert scientists are...more

Feline urinary tract infection treatment can be extremely critical. Because the urinary tract in cats is so delicate, the smallest of infections can quickly spread and lead to much more serious, even life threatening, conditions. For this reason, the sooner you can get your cat's UTI treated, the better the long term result is likely to be. UTI can be particularly troublesome for cats that spend time outdoors. Bacteria can be picked up almost anywhere and spread quickly, causing infection. As with humans, UTI can cause uncomfortable symptoms including pain, fever, the frequent urge to urinate and inability to do so. In cats, UTI can often lead to the buildup of deposits in the urethra, bladder or kidneys, which can cause life threatening blockage. If your cat is experiencing any of the symptoms of UTI it is important that you get to the vet as quickly as possible for a proper diagnosis. Your vet will then be able to suggest feline urinary tract infection treatment. In most cases, this involves giving your cat a course of antibiotics. While this may be helpful for reliving symptoms, it can actually cause damage in the long run as antibiotics have been shown to impair immune system...more
