Another interesting study is called, "Localized mesothelioma of the pleura: benign and malignant variants" by N Okike, PE Bernatz and LB Woolner - The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Vol 75, 363-372. Here is an excerpt: "Mesothelioma, even of the pleura alone, is a ubiquitous pathological designation. The diffuse variety is associated with an ominous prognosis. The localized mesothelioma generally has been assumed...more
Cancer - the Cure along with the UntruthThere isn't a single cure for cancer - you'll find so many - here's a taste of only one cancer cure....this might shock you and your family initially but when a person realize it is about Individual greed it'll make sense.You've got to speculate why following vast amounts of money given to investigating and also growth and development of cancer treatments it is announced that you actually have...more
Another interesting study is called, "Modified RECIST criteria for assessment of response in malignant pleural Mesothelioma" by M. J. Byrne and A. K. Nowak - Ann Oncol (2004) 15 (2): 257-260. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Background: The growth pattern of malignant pleural mesothelioma makes the use of RECIST (response evaluation criteria in solid tumours) response criteria difficult. We have developed and validated Modified RECIST criteria adapted to the growth pattern of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients and methods: We evaluated 73 patients from two clinical trials of cisplatin/gemcitabine chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma. Tumour thickness perpendicular to the chest wall or mediastinum was measured in two positions at three separate levels on thoracic CT scans. The sum of the six measurements defined a pleural unidimensional measure. Bidimensionally measureable lesions were measured unidimensionally as for RECIST. All measurements were added to obtain the total tumour measurement. A reduction of at least 30% on two occasions 4 weeks apart defined a partial response; an increase of 20% over the nadir measurement, progressive disease. The...more

Another interesting study is called, "Expression of the secreted frizzled-related protein gene family is downregulated in human Mesothelioma" by Amie Y Lee, Biao He, Liang You, Sina Dadfarmay, Zhidong Xu, Julien Mazieres, Iwao Mikami, Frank McCormick and David M Jablons - Oncogene (2004) 23, 6672–6676. Here is an excerpt: "Secreted frizzled-related proteins (sFRPs) comprise a family of five secreted glycoproteins that antagonize Wnt signaling. Aberrant activation and upregulation of the Wnt pathway is a key feature of many cancers. Thus, role of sFRP as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling may have important implications in tumorigenesis, and its downregulation has been correlated with human cancers. Recently, we reported Wnt signaling and dishevelled (Dvl) overexpression in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MM). Here, we report significant transcriptional downregulation of the SFRP gene family in MM primary tissues and cell lines as well as several other cancer cell lines (breast, lung, glioma, and cervical) compared to normal cells. One or more SFRPs were downregulated in approximately 85% (18 of 21) of primary MM tumor specimens compared to normal pleural...more
