Could there be another mesothelioma cell type beyond epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic?
In recent years, mesothelioma histology has become more important than ever, as researchers find that certain treatments are more effective against different cell types. The epitheliod subtype of mesothelioma is by far the most common and is considered the least aggressive of the three types. The sarcomatoid subtype is less common but most aggressive. When […]

In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment for most cancers, and even the notably difficult-to-treat mesothelioma has reaped benefits.

This fact, paired with […]

Asbestos Exposure
Have you, or someone you love, been affected by asbestos exposure? Asbestos exposure has caused billions of dollars of legal liability over the years.
Globally, over 125 million people have been exposed to asbestos, and up to 33 million houses and buildings in the US are still affected.
Malignant mesothelioma is caused by ingesting or inhaling asbestos fibers.
Industries used to rely on harmful asbestos as an insulator and building material when its full effects weren’t yet known. Asbestos was once very prevalent in factories, buildings (roof tiles, shingles, etc.), industrial plants, and US shipyards.
People were even exposed to harmful asbestos fibers at home, as they are easily transported on uniforms and other clothes.
Asbestos exposure causes dormant health problems you may only see the full effects a long time after initial contact. Because its harmful effects are now known, companies have a duty of care to ensure people are safe from its carcinogenic effects.
If mesothelioma was caused by corporate negligence, you are entitled to seek compensation. This holds true even if the asbestos exposure happened a long time ago, or the relative you’re fighting for has already passed away.
Companies even have special asbestos trust funds to ensure they’ve got enough funding to cover the legal and medical costs incurred by mesothelioma.
