Asbestos-Induced Lung Cancer in Veterans

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

According to statistics, more than 30 percent of Americans suffering from mesothelioma (a deadly asbestos-induced lung cancer) were exposed to asbestos while serving their nation Atlantis: The Lost Empire trailer

. Veterans and shipyard workers arguably face the greatest risk of developing mesothelioma or similar disease because of the extensive use of asbestos in military equipment and products, buildings, ships, and submarines. This is especially true for veterans who served during or after World War II and before the1970s when the government began regulating use of asbestos. Sadly, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American veterans have suffered exposure to asbestos, putting them at higher risk of developing asbestosis, mesothelioma, or other illness.

Veterans who have been diagnosed with an asbestos-induced lung cancer such as mesothelioma have legal rights and may be able to recover compensation for their losses and suffering.  Asbestos-induced lung cancer is a significant problem among Navy veterans, particularly because the use of asbestos was so very extensive on ships. Virtually no area on a Navy ship built before the 1970s is safe, including fire and engine rooms, boiler rooms, navigation rooms, mess halls and sleeping quarters.Additionally, commonly used products such as gaskets, cables, insulation, adhesives, valves, and numerous others contained asbestos. Navy veterans, like other veterans, were prone to carry asbestos dust home on their clothes, thereby exposing their loved ones to the dangerous fibers.

Veterans groups across the country have started taking action to ensure their rights are protected. For instance, some veterans organizations have called on Congress to fund early lung cancer detection programs, which is especially important given the long latency period for mesothelioma—usually 30 to 50 years. Individual veterans and, in some cases, their families, are filing legal claims to hold responsible parties accountable for the suffering caused by asbestos-induced lung disease.

Recent Study Indicates Chemo Treatment May Help Mesothelioma Patients

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

According to a study published in a May edition of Lung Cancer, a second course of chemotherapy may help those who have already undergone chemotherapy treatments for mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of lung cancer that is very difficult to treat that develops as a result of asbestos exposure. It spreads quickly throughout the body and is most often fatal.

The typical treatment of mesothelioma includes chemotherapy with a combination of pemetrexed and cispaltin. Very often, the first-line of treatment does not work and there is not much research into the effectiveness of second-line treatments.

Dr. Stebbing and his colleagues have begun to test the effectiveness of Vinorelbine as a second-line treatment. It is currently being used as a first-line treatment as well. According to Dr. Stebbing’s study, 10% of patients experienced a partial response. The disease stopped developing, but did not respond in 68% of patients.

Dr. Stebbing advises that further research needs to be conducted and that Vinorelbine is not an appropriate treatment for all mesothelioma patients.
