Active anti-cancer treatment

Active anti-cancer treatment Combination chemotherapy Combination treatment usually produces higher response rates than single drug therapy. There are few direct randomised comparisons of single versus combination drugs. One three-armed study, which compared the efficacy of combined chemotherapy with a single agent and a placebo in malignant mesothelioma, did not show significant differences in survival between the combined chemotherapy and supportive care arms, although a trend in favour of the single-agent arm (vinorelbine) was observed (201). It was prematurely stopped because of low recruitment and required both chemotherapy arms to be combined for analysis. This study has been criticised mainly because the combination chemotherapy (Mitomycin C, Vinblastine, Cisplatin)(MVP) is considered inadequate and the final study had insufficient power to address the effect of vinorelbine alone. Two randomised studies have shown that combination chemotherapy that includes cisplatin and p

How much money should I expect from an Asbestos Settlement?

How much money should I expect from an Asbestos Settlement? Some mesothelioma settlements and verdicts have reached into the millions, but it's not easy to estimate how much a person will receive prior to filing a claim. Compensation varies on claimant’s diagnosis, medical history, companies sued, where the claim is filed, proof of negligence and other factors. History has shown that an overwhelming majority of cases end in a settlement before reaching the courtroom. But some cases do go to trial, where a judge or jury can make a verdict that awards significant compensatory and punitive damages. Settlement and verdict amounts often are tied to the cost of medical expenses, physical and mental distress, lost wages and bills that accumulate as patients move forward with an asbestos-related illness. Of course, compensation also is linked to the strength of the case, which brings into play the plaintiff’s specific diagnosis and health condition, as well as the degre

What is asbestos - a problem

Asbestos : elimination of asbestos-related diseases Key facts About 125 million people in the world are exposed to asbestos at the workplace. According to WHO estimates, more than 107 000 deaths each year are attributable to occupational exposure to asbestos. What is asbestos? Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals with current or historical commercial usefulness due to their extraordinary tensile strength, poor heat conduction, and relative resistance to chemical attack. For these reasons, asbestos is used for insulation in buildings and as an ingredient in a number of products, such as roofing shingles, water supply lines and fire blankets, as well as clutches and brake linings, gaskets and pads for automobiles. The main forms of asbestos are chrysotile (white asbestos) and crocidolite (blue asbestos). Other forms are amosite, anthophylite, tremolite and actinolite. Why is asbestos a problem? All forms of
