Three Main Reasons Why Asbestos Victims Start Pursuing Legal Action Immediately
Three Main Reasons Why Asbestos Victims Start Pursuing Legal Action Immediately
Malignant mesothelioma cancer is a rare form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring substance that was used heavily in industry in past decades due to its heat-resistant properties. Different types of mesothelioma affect different body cavities and organs. These include pleural mesothelioma (lungs), pericardial mesothelioma (heart) and peritoneal mesothelioma (abdomen).
The most common form of the disease is pleural mesothelioma, which can produce symptoms that include shortness of breath and chest pain. Another lung-related ailment caused by asbestos exposure is asbestosis. This condition is not a form of cancer; however, its symptoms are similar to those of pleural mesothelioma. One symptom of both diseases is the pleural effusion condition, which results when fluid accumulates between the membranes that line the chest cavity and the lungs.
Because mesothelioma and asbestosis are often the result of preventable asbestos exposure on the job, often decades prior to the disease diagnosis, the patient’s employer is often legally liable for his or her medical expenses, lost wages and pain in suffering. Therefore, it is imperative to contact a mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible following a diagnosis of either mesothelioma or asbestosis.

Women Raise Thousands for Breast Cancer Research at Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure can be a hot, sweaty, grueling, ache-causing 60-mile walk. But it can also be an amazing journey, well worth the effort say members of a Stow-based team named Saving Our Boobs.
Team captain Jenifer Patton and teammates Gretchen Gies, Nancy Rutherford and Sue Kemmerline, all of Stow, and Barbara Tidman of North Canton, will head to Cleveland on Friday morning to set off on that long journey.
Each team member has raised more than $2,500 in donations that will help fund breast cancer research and community programs through the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
This is Patton’s second year participating in the three-day event, which she walks in honor of her mother-in-law, two aunts and a cousin — all of whom are breast cancer survivors.
“It’s grueling, you get blisters and achy. But as you’re walking you think about how a cancer patient doesn’t have a choice to go through chemo and radiation, but I do have a choice to keep walking. You tell yourself, ‘If they can keep fighting through all the side effects, I can endure this next five miles or whatever it is to keep going,” said Patton, a second-grade teacher in Solon.
Gies said she walks in honor of her mother, former Hudson resident Sue Godfrey, now of Powell, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2008.
“Knock on wood, she’s been cancer-free since she had a double mastectomy and went through chemo,” said Gies, a stay-at-home mom who is participating in the Cleveland 3-Day for the Cure event for the third time.
“That first year, I dealt with extreme heat and blisters. The second year I struggled through with knee issues. I’m not sure what this year will bring, but it’s nothing compared to what women go through dealing with breast cancer,” she said.
Gies joined the cause as an individual after seeing an event flyer posted in a store just after her mother’s diagnosis in 2008.
“I had no idea what I was getting into. But even going by myself I had a wonderful time. I met lots of people along the way and made a lot of friends,” she said. “I didn’t walk alone.”
Gies’ friend of eight years, Patton, joined her on the journey last year. This year, Patton attended an event “start-up meeting” in Hudson, where she met fellow Stow residents Rutherford and Kemmerline. They decided to form a team, which grew with the addition of Tidman, who is Rutherford’s co-worker at Summit Racing.
Both Patton and Gies say the well-organized event is a neat experience – despite having to walk about 20 miles daily for three days in hot weather and having to sleep in tents at make-shift campgrounds.
The walk begins Friday morning at the Port Authority in Cleveland, then winds its way through a loop that includes cities such as Lakewood, Westlake, Rocky River and Berea, where a closing ceremony will be held at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon.
Patton said there’s a festival atmosphere to the event that makes it fun, with themed pit stops set up every two to three miles along the route offering snacks, beverages and portable toilets. Even homeowners along the route get into the action.
“As you’re walking, you see a lot of houses will be decorated, like one house last year that had pink bras strung between some trees,” Patton said. “If it’s really hot, people will have sprinklers going and some people will have mints or hard candy out for you.”
There are also designated “cheering stations” along the route where family and friends can go to support event participants.
Patton said her husband Greg and daughters, Caitlynn, 8, and Courtney, 5, will be cheering her on from the sidelines each day and at the closing ceremony.
“They’ll show up at the cheering stations wearing their 3-Day T-shirts, and they’re bringing squirt guns this year to help keep us cool,” Patton said.
Cheering for Gies will be her parents, her husband, Jeff, and daughters, Reiley, 8, and Kendall, 5.
“Every year I’ve done it they’ve all come out to support me. My daughters will be there with signs and banners they make and pink pom-poms to cheer me on,” she said.

Aromasin drug prevented 65% of women that is already being used to
Those at risk for breast cancer may have a new way to prevent the disease: a drug that is already being used to treat it.
According to CNN, researchers have stated that the estrogen-blocking drug Aromasin prevented 65% of women in a clinical trial from contracting breast cancer. Their study, which has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, enrolled 4,560 health postmenopausal women at high risk for developing breast cancer. The significant reduction in risk was found after the women had been taking the drug for three years. The research continues as longer-term effects are measured.
Aromasin is an aromatase inhibitor drug, meaning that it blocks the production of estrogen in postmenopausal women. Estrogen has been implicated in facilitating the growth of breast cancer in older women.
Dr. Jennifer Litton, a breast cancer specialist at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said that other drugs she prescribes often scare away patients because of their side effects, which include rare cases of uterine cancer. "This is the first study to show that a new class of drugs, aromatase inhibitors, have the ability to prevent breast cancer in high-risk women," she said, adding that she is hopeful Aromasin, which has fewer side-effects, will prove an attractive option to such women.
While the study results showed no serious toxic effects from the drug, doctors like Jose Baselga of Massachusetts General's Cancer Center caution against ignoring the risks involved. Aromatase inhibitor side effects include hot flashes, arthritis, and bone loss. As for prescribing Aromasin, “I would limit it to patients who have very high risks" for getting breast cancer, Baselga said.

Study Advocates Lung-Sparing Therapy For Malignant Mesothelioma Patients
An ongoing debate about the value of radical surgery divides doctors who treat patients with mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung and abdomen associated with asbestos exposure.
Some studies suggest that mesothelioma patients who undergo extensive surgery to remove a lung, the lining of the lung and parts of the diaphragm followed up by radiation and chemotherapy do survive longer. But the radical surgery known as an extrapleural pneumonectomy carries risks and is debilitating.
Other physicians suggest the radical surgery for meosthelioma patients is barbaric and its benefits still unproven. One of the physicians in that camp is British thoracic surgeon Dr. Tom Treasure, who will participate in the 1st International Symposium on Lung-Sparing Therapies for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma on May 21 in Santa Monica, California.
In recent years, Dr. Treasure of Guy’s Hospital in London, has led a small, randomized study comparing the survival of mesothelioma patients who have a combination of radical surgery and radiation with those who have other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. The aim of the study is to establish whether extrapleural pneumonectomy increases patients’ survival and adds to their quality of life.
The U.K. Mesothelioma and Radical Surgery Trial (MARS) tracked 50 patients—24 who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy and 26 patients who did not have radical surgery from 2006 to 2009. According to the preliminary results, 52 percent of the mesothelioma patients who underwent radical surgery lived 12 months, compared to 73 percent of the patients who had treatment that did not involve removal of a lung. The study provided no evidence that extrapleural pneumonectomy benefited mesothelioma patients.
“This well-designed seminal study … while small provides compelling and incontrovertible evidence that supports our long-held position at the Pacific Meso Center that the use of radical lung-removing surgery is completely unsupported by medical data,” said Dr. Robert Cameron, director of Thoracic Surgery at UCLA Medical Center, in a statement. The UCLA Mesothelioma Research Program is sponsoring the symposium.
Cameron compared extrapleural pneumonectomy to the now nearly extinct practice of radical mastectomy to treat breast cancer. Cameron said the recent study is further proof that no one suffering the ravages of mesothelioma should be subjected to the indignity of radical, debilitating and useless surgery based on “selected” data.
Approximately, 3,000 people a year are diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in the United States. The Early Symptoms Of Mesothelioma has increased in recent decades. Many of people who develop mesothelioma worked in occupations that exposed them to asbestos dust, though the disease symptoms typically don’t appear for 20 to 40 years. http://www.aboutmesothelioma.net/2011/05/study-advocates-lung-sparing-therapy-for-malignant-mesothelioma-patients.asp

Acquired defects in the FGFR1 gene could play a role in lung cancer
An overproduced receptor protein that shows up in a subset of lung cancers may offer a target of opportunity for new drugs and a glimmer of hope for some patients, researchers report.
Excess amounts of a protein known as FGFR1, or fibroid growth factor receptor 1, often show up in smokers who develop a hard-to-treat form of lung cancer, suggesting that tobacco smoke exposure damages the gene encoding this protein and steers cells toward cancer in some people. Researchers report the findings in the Dec. 15 Science Translational Medicine.
Acquired defects in the FGFR1 gene could play a role in lung cancer
Scientists have been investigating the four known FGFR genes for years, and defects in these genes have been linked to cancer of the lung, bladder, uterus, breast and blood, says Lynn Heasley, a physician and researcher at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora who wasn’t part of this study. “This is the first paper where you actually see amplification of the gene in primary [lung] tumors. In that way, it’s an important advance.”
Acquired defects in the FGFR1 gene could play a role in lung cancer
In gene amplification, multiple copies of a defective gene appear and the gene’s protein is overproduced, altering its effect on the cell’s processes. Several research groups have plans to test drugs that inhibit FGFR proteins in cancer patients whose tumors have the gene amplification.
In the new study, the researchers concentrated on squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, a deadly malignancy responsible for about one-fourth of lung cancers. It mainly hits smokers. Analysis of squamous cell tumors from 155 lung cancer patients showed that 15 had a defective FGFR1 gene. Of those 15 patients, 11 were current or former smokers, and data were unavailable for the other four.
The researchers then used a different technique to analyze samples of 153 other squamous cell lung tumors and found that the FGFR1 gene was amped up in 22 percent of them. But the defect turned up in only 1 percent of 581 nonsquamous cell lung tumors included in a publicly available database.
The scientists also tested an FGFR-inhibiting compound called PD173074 against 83 lung cancer cell lines. The compound blocked growth and caused cancer cell death in four of the cell lines, and three of those had an altered FGFR1 gene. When the scientists tested the compound on mice with squamous cell lung cancer, the animals whose tumors had a defective FGFR1 gene benefited from the treatment, showing marked tumor shrinkage.
The compound used in this study is unstable and probably won’t be suitable for people, says study coauthor Roman Thomas, physician and researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research and the University of Cologne in Germany. But drug manufacturers, including Novartis and AstraZeneca, have developed other FGFR inhibitors aimed at treating patients.
Early-stage clinical trials of those FGFR inhibitors are recruiting breast cancer patients. Thomas and his colleagues are planning to test an FGFR inhibitor in lung cancer patients who screen positive for the altered FGFR1 gene.
“We’re still in the early days here,” Heasley says, but FGFR inhibitors might hold potential as drugs that can be aimed at tumors that arise in smokers.
Lung cancer takes the largest toll of all malignancies, killing more people than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. While often treatable when it appears in nonsmokers, fewer options are available for squamous cell lung cancer and other forms that are more common among smokers.

Excess amounts of a protein known as FGFR1, or fibroid growth factor receptor 1, often show up in smokers who develop a hard-to-treat form of lung cancer, suggesting that tobacco smoke exposure damages the gene encoding this protein and steers cells toward cancer in some people. Researchers report the findings in the Dec. 15 Science Translational Medicine.
Acquired defects in the FGFR1 gene could play a role in lung cancer
Scientists have been investigating the four known FGFR genes for years, and defects in these genes have been linked to cancer of the lung, bladder, uterus, breast and blood, says Lynn Heasley, a physician and researcher at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora who wasn’t part of this study. “This is the first paper where you actually see amplification of the gene in primary [lung] tumors. In that way, it’s an important advance.”
Acquired defects in the FGFR1 gene could play a role in lung cancer
In gene amplification, multiple copies of a defective gene appear and the gene’s protein is overproduced, altering its effect on the cell’s processes. Several research groups have plans to test drugs that inhibit FGFR proteins in cancer patients whose tumors have the gene amplification.
In the new study, the researchers concentrated on squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, a deadly malignancy responsible for about one-fourth of lung cancers. It mainly hits smokers. Analysis of squamous cell tumors from 155 lung cancer patients showed that 15 had a defective FGFR1 gene. Of those 15 patients, 11 were current or former smokers, and data were unavailable for the other four.
The researchers then used a different technique to analyze samples of 153 other squamous cell lung tumors and found that the FGFR1 gene was amped up in 22 percent of them. But the defect turned up in only 1 percent of 581 nonsquamous cell lung tumors included in a publicly available database.

first pregnancy appears to the accumulation of risk, obesity and certain types of breast cancer
In the age of first pregnancy appears to the accumulation of risk, obesity and certain types of breast cancer. A groundbreaking study by University of Wisconsin Medical School and public health leaders said they have children or no life along with obesity, causing the risk of breast cancer. In the conception and the link between age and breast cancer may be strong women who never had children or who waited until 30 or later have a child.
The study consists of about 1912 to 1986 women born in 50000, of which 29,000 were diagnosed with breast cancer. Those aged 30 or over, while the pregnancy first child or a child has never been reported in the elevation of 2.5% of lobular breast cancer. Breast cancer, is clearly the most common form of breast cancer, but the lobular and mixed ductal, lobular breast cancer cases in the 20th century, the rapid increase in 90 years and accounts for 20 percent of all breast cancer events.
"Our study found that children who never or was at or after 30 children had a three times greater development of lobular breast cancer risk in obese women. Has been strong evidence that obesity, sedentary lifestyle and alcohol use can in breast cancer risk factors. These are all risk factors, women can change, "highlighted the cancer center from the Polly Newcomb.
Since lobular breast cancer lobular breast where it started, it may be difficult to find a breast X-rays. Ductal carcinoma, on the other hand, began to pipe lining in a milk and more easy to detect. Authors suggest that postmenopausal hormone replacement and the risk of lobular breast cancer linked.

Women’s lung cancer rate catching up with men’s
Recently a research shows that women patients with lung cancer dramatic increase in UK, as they fail to heed no-smoking message. Women have been urged to take anti-smoking messages more seriously.
Alexander Ives and Dr Julia Verne, of the NHS’s South West Public Health Observatory, found that: “Lung cancer incidence for females increased significantly from 1985-87 (32.3 per 100,000) to 2004-06 (35.4 per 100,000)”, a 10% rise. While the recent rate for men in England as 60 per 100,000. They said they identify women in England diagnosed with the disease between 1985 and 2006 from data of the UK Association of Cancer Registries.
Traditionally, Lung cancer of male are much more than women, but numbers of women being diagnosed are growing and it become the UK’s biggest cancer killer. The trend now has alarmed us, we should be urging female smokers to quit and calling on the NHS to do more to warn women of the dangerous habit. Women need to take on board that lung cancer is not a disease of men, it’s a disease of smokers, and either not take up smoking in the first place or quit cigarettes as a matter of urgency.
Lung cancer claims more Britons’ lives than any other form of the disease. It is reported that every day about 108 people are diagnosed with it, and of those 95 die. In the 1950s men diagnosed with lung cancer outnumbered women by six to one.
The Office of National Statistics released data last week, it showed that cancers are now the commonest cause of death in women, accounting for 159 deaths per 100,000 annually. It means Scotland has the UK’s highest rates of lung cancer, while cancer generally claims 181 lives per 100,000 women north of the border.
Except smoking, non-smoking cancers is increased too. It’s well known that long-term exposure to tobacco smoke is also the major causes of lung cancer. Air pollution is an other cause.

booklet to help women with learning disabilities to understand what breast cancer
A booklet towards assistance ladies with knowledge disabilities towards appreciate what breast cancer is and the importance of breast mammography has been launched at the University of Ulster.
Produced via Dr Laurence Taggart, from Ulster’s School of Nursing, ‘My Boobs and Me!’ was styled towards herald breast perception for ladies with knowledge disabilities.
It consumes vocabulary and brightly coloured films towards depict the risk and protective factors of breast cancer, as well as consuming noticeable photos of the ride across hospital within obtaining a mammogram.
In an originally pilot project funded via the Breast Cancer Campaign within 2009, Dr Taggart’s innovation indicated that ladies with knowledge disabilities had complications within experience what breast cancer was and the importance of attending for a mammogram.
“As portion of a team of investigators analysing the women’s experience of breast cancer and breast perception, a lot of these ladies lacked a noticeable experience of what breast cancer was,” he said.
“Also a lot of these ladies did not clearly appreciate the procedure of obtaining a mammogram; these ladies expressed panic and embarrassment. The booklet enables the ladies towards benefit a fuller experience of what beast cancer is, the risk and protective factors, as well recounting the ride across obtaining the invitation letter towards attending for a mammogram within hospital.”
Dr Taggart worked with ladies with knowledge disabilities towards assistance him design the booklet. Compass Advocacy Network, a Ballymoney-based charity, also worked with the Ulster lecturer onto the project. The charity’s ambition is towards enable adults with knowledge disabilities.
“With subsidy knotted from the Breast Cancer Campaign, I caused this booklet. Hopefully it shall assistance ladies with knowledge disabilities towards acknowledge and appreciate the signs and symptoms of breast cancer better and cooperation them within their ride within obtaining the mammogram,” Dr Taggart said.
“The booklet shall also help relations carers, ceremonial carers working with ladies with knowledge disabilities, GP’s, tradition nurses, breast screening nurses, radiographers and else healthcare professionals within backing ladies with knowledge disabilities.”
Copies of the booklet shall be allocated towards everybody the breast screening units across Northern Ireland and the UK, as well as the settlement knowledge disability teams.
