A new biomarker has been discovered which could help doctors diagnose patients who have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. According to Science Magazine, the work was carried out by experts at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and a number of other organisations, who have managed to find a new genetic biomarker within non-coding human DNA (DNA that does not transcribe into protein). As part of the research, the team looked...more

Methods of Treating Mesothelioma There are several methods of treatment for mesothelioma although none of these have a high success rate. In general, the chances of curing a mesothelioma patient depends on how much the cancer has developed and matured when treated. If tackled aggressively in its early stages, there is a good chance of survival. Due to the difficulty of diagnosing mesothelioma in its early stages, many mesothelioma treatments focus on improving the quality of life for patients. Before a patient is treated upon, a doctor will decide what the best course of treatment is by considering the patient's age, medical history, general well being and even weight. From here, the doctor will decide which of the three most common treatments are most suited to the patient's condition. These treatments are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Who is at risk from mesothelioma cancer? Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer which is fairly rare although in the last few decades the number of people who have died from it have dramatically increased. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos without sufficient protection. When a person is exposed to asbestos, he or she inhales tiny asbestos fibres which are suspended in the air. These fibres pass into the respiratory system and end up becoming lodged in the lungs. An accumulation of asbestos fibers in the lining of the lungs like this can cause nearby cells to deform and eventually leads to what is known as pleural mesothelioma. Accumulation of asbestos fibers in the peritoneum (lining of the abdomen) can lead to peritoneal mesothelioma and build up of fibres around the tissue of the heart can cause pericardial mesothelioma. Asbestos fibers reach these places over time or because they have been transported there by the lymphatic system.Mesothelioma cancer has a very large latency period (time between getting the cancer and feeling the symptoms of it). This period is usually between 30 – 50 years and so a person who bears mesothelioma is unlikely to know...more
