The membrane lining of the abdomen, lungs as well as the heart gets impacted by the cancer known as malignant mesothelioma, induced by exposure to...more

In some cases your GP may refer you to an ENT (ear, nose & throat) specialist for a more informed diagnosis should the problem be more serious.

Over 2,000 new cases of Mesothelioma are diagnosed each year in the United States (making up about 3 % of all cancer diagnoses). The more research that is dedicated to finding a cure for this disease, the better. One interesting study is called, "A Meta-Analysis of Colorectal Cancer and Asbestos Exposure" by David M. Horna, David H. Garabrant, and Brenda W. Gillespie - American Journal of Epidemiology Vol. 139, No. 12: 1210-1222. Here is an excerpt: "A meta-analysis of the relation between asbestos exposure and colorectal cancer mortality was conducted, using published reports of 20 asbestos-exposed cohorts. Summary standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for colorectal cancer were examined in relation to asbestos type and estimates of dust exposure (as direct estimators of asbestos exposure) and in relation to lung cancer SMR and the proportion of all deaths due to mesothelioma (as proxy estimators of asbestos exposure). An elevated summary SMR was observed in cohorts exposed to amphibole asbestos (summary SMR = 1.47; 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.09–2.00), but not in cohorts exposed to serpentine asbestos (summary SMR = 1.04; 95% Cl 0.81–1.33) or in cohorts exposed to...more
