How to Treat Mesothelioma from Asbestos Exposure
NEW YORK, NY -- Propelled by advances in molecular biology, the treatment of colorectal cancer is on the verge of dramatic change and a promising future as innovative vaccines will replace chemotherapy. According to a new report from Kalorama Information, "Cancer Vaccines: Market Forecasts, New Developments and Pipeline Analysis," this market, lead by OncoVAX, is poised for unprecedented growth, creating countless opportunities for market participants.

There are many forms of treatment for Mesothelioma. Their effectiveness is on a cases by case basis. Here are five possible treatments that have been used:
1) Surgery - this is where the cancerous tissue is cut out. In extreme
cases where the cancer has spread to the lungs, a lung may be removed.
2) Gene therapy (still in clinical trials) - this is where a “suicide gene” is
inserted into the cancer making those cells susceptible to drugs that can be used to
kill the malignant cells, leaving the healthy ones behind.
3) Radiation Therapy - high energy x-rays are directed at the cancer cells
to kill these cells and/or shrink the tumors.
4) Chemotherapy - drugs are placed directly into the bloodstream
through pills or injection. In Mesothelioma cases these drugs can be injected into
the chest cavity.
5) Intraoperative Photodynamic therapy - uses drugs and light therapy is
used during surgery.The patient is injected with drugs 3 days before surgery. These
drugs make them sensetive to light. A special light is shined on the cancer cells
during surgery.
Speak to your doctor about the risks involved with each procedure and which would
be appropriate for your individual case.
