Download or read book Understanding Mesothelioma written by CURE Media Group and published by CURE Media Group. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All proceeds from the sale of the digital book Understanding Mesothelioma will go to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) to help ADAO advocate, educate and create a community for people affected by asbestos disease. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that is caused by asbestos and is diagnosed in about 3000 people per year in the United States. Because mesothelioma is so rare, diagnosis and treatment can be a great challenge to patients and their families. Understanding Mesothelioma offers patients and caregivers in-depth information about this unique cancer including causes, finding a specialist, treatments, legal issues and caregiving, as well as other information. The book also includes helpful medical resources. Understanding Mesothelioma will help patients navigate their treatment options and side effects, while reading survivor stories that both educate and inspire. Distribution of Understanding Mesothelioma has been made possible by the generous support of Baron & Budd, PC.

Download or read book Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma written by Takashi Nakano and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides essential information on recent advances in molecular genetics, epidemiology, translational research, and the latest results of clinical trials on mesothelioma. Significant progress has been made in understanding mesothelioma biology, and in developing new therapies for this refractory tumor, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Not only does this volume summarize the latest research-based data on the disease; it also shares insights into future research directions. The book consists of 5 themed sections on: epidemiology, pathogenesis, screening and early detection, molecular genetics, and clinical aspects and management. Several chapters focus on new trends in the field, e.g. immune therapy and identification of biomarkers, molecular oncogenesis including genetic susceptibility, and molecular diagnostic pathology. The book also highlights new cancer treatment approaches, such as immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors, which has meant a paradigm shift in other types of cancer, and given some hope to MPM patients. In turn, it discusses recent molecular pathological studies on mesothelioma, which claim to offer more accurate classifications than traditional morphology and immunohistochemistry-based approaches. All of these cutting-edge analyses provide the basis for a closing discussion on future developments and research directions. Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma - Advances in Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatments has been edited and authored by respected researchers and will be of interest to medical, surgical and radiation oncologists; pulmonologists; pathologists and basic researchers alike. Since the disease represents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, scientists and clinicians from learners to experts, as well as fellows in training in these subspecialties, will value this book.
Download or read book Mesothelioma written by Giovanni Luca Ceresoli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an updated review of malignant mesothelioma, including the latest advances in our understanding of its genetic control and molecular biology, as well as pre-clinical and clinical research. It also presents state-of-the-art diagnostic approaches and therapeutic options, and an open discussion on the future prospects for patient management. Malignant mesothelioma is an enormous global health problem related to asbestos exposure. Despite the best efforts of scientists and oncologists, the prognosis for those affected remains poor. Due to anatomical characteristics and non-specific symptoms, the diagnosis of mesothelioma at an early stage is often difficult, while surgery and radiotherapy are only of limited use, even if some multimodality approaches seem promising. In turn, medical treatments are sometimes successful in tumor control, but have little impact on overall survival. However, advances in our understanding of the disease’s biology, together with the availability of new drugs and combinations, make mesothelioma an essential and highly topical field for pre-clinical and clinical studies. This book is subdivided into four parts: epidemiology and preclinical data, diagnosis, therapy, and extrathoracic mesothelioma. It highlights the progress made in a variety of areas – e.g. in vitro and in vivo experimental models, genetics, environment, biomarkers, targeting agents, immunotherapy, metabolic imaging and ongoing clinical trials – and describes the standard clinical management of mesothelioma patients, including those with extra-thoracic localizations. Given its scope, the book offers an invaluable tool for researchers, oncologists and clinicians alike.
