Genetic Map Could Help Mesothelioma Asbestos Patients
By John Curran
New treatments are developed to help those with cancer every day, but in contrast, mesothelioma asbestos class action lawsuit lawyers have to work fast. Their clients often faced a fatal form of lung cancer, so they needed help for themselves and their families as soon as possible. While there still may be more cases, the medical prognosis could be much better.
Genetic researchers have found that another related disease, squamous lung cancer, can likely be treated by those drugs either available or on their way to the market. It provides some hope to those suffering from asbestos-caused mesothelioma that scientists may be close to mapping the genetic material that causes their own medical problems.
Moreover, residents in several Western states are facing a similarly dangerous material. Erionite is a similar fibrous material that could have similar effects on the lungs as asbestos-caused mesothelioma. At the very least, it could cause respiratory problems similar to inhaling fiberglass. As yet, the Environmental Protection Agency has not warned residents near mines that produce erionite of these mesothelioma risks.
Part of the problem may be that the material is not mined for its own value. Rather, it is extracted as a byproduct of mining for other minerals in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and other states. It may take time for the risks to be fully understood.
