Although reported incidence rates have increased over the past twenty years, mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer.

The incidence is approximately one case per million inhabitants. For comparison, populations with high smoking rates can reach over a thousand lung cancer per million people.

Incidence of malignant mesothelioma currently reached a level of about 7 to 40 cases per 1 million people in Western industrialized countries, according to the size of the population in the last decades of exposure to asbestos.
It was initiated that the occurrence may reach 15 per 1 million inhabitants since in 2004.

It is predictable that the frequency continues to rise in further parts of the world. Mesothelioma occurs more regularly in men than in women and risk increases with age; however, this disease can transpire in men or women at any age.

It can be said that the epidemic of mesothelioma was found in three Turkish villages (Tuzkoy Sarehidir and Karain).

She is now responsible for 50% of deaths there.

They do not attack healthy cells of the body. They infect only cancer cells and destroy them. These oncolytic viruses, viruses that could become formidable anticancer weapons.

A virus against cancer?

A virus that is already saving the lives of millions of children could become a new weapon against cancer. This virus is one that is used to vaccinate against measles, a live version, but "down" the virus that causes the childhood disease. "There are viruses that will preferentially infect cancer cells. It is the case of the virus the vaccine against measles "said Marc Gregory, director of research at the Institute for Therapeutic Research, University of Nantes. "These viruses penetrate cancer cells and cause their destruction" he explains. We talk about viruses "oncolytic."
* Funded by the CRA, Mark Gregory and his team began to show interest in these viruses following a discussion with a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, Frederic Tangy. The team Nantes had almost discovered that many cancer cells on their surface showed an unusual amount of a protein called CD 46. The researcher knew Paris meanwhile that the attenuated virus vaccine against measles had just needed this protein to infect human cells. It thus was born the idea of using this virus to destroy cancer cells.

MARF Awards $1M for Cancer, Mesothelioma Research

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

The Mesothelioma Applied Analysis Foundation (MARF) appear that it has awarded $1 actor in allotment for analysis projects aimed at abating or convalescent analysis for mesothelioma and added asbestos-related diseases.

Mesothelioma analysis has commonly lacked funding, and as a result, not abundant advance has been fabricated until recently. The MARF’s contributions will go a continued way to added analysis in an breadth area abounding able discoveries accept been afresh made.

“Thanks to acceptable donors, this is now the third year in a row in which we accept been able to abutment critically-needed meso analysis at the million-dollars-per-year level. This constant abutment is enabling ablaze board about the apple to advance their careers in meso, and to accompany the abundant accurate studies bare to advance able treatments. As a result, we are seeing the accomplished acreage accomplish abundant strides forward,” said Chrish Hahn, controlling administrator of the MARF.

The Proposed Research

Thirty-four analysis teams from universities about the apple submitted activity proposals to the foundation, which chose the 10 a part of them they acquainted a lot of adapted the funding. Each of these 10 analysis teams will be awarded $100,000 for mesothelioma and asbestos-related affliction research.

The analysis projects that were awarded the analysis allotment included analysis into:

· Using nanospheres to bear analysis anon to mesothelioma tumors

· Using mesothelioma-specific combinations of antibodies and antigen to bear analysis anon to a tumor

· Targeting corpuscle arresting pathways that accept apparent to be active in mesothelioma

· Causing mesothelioma bump beef to be added acute to chemotherapy drugs

Complete descriptions of the projects are accessible at MARF’s website, www.marf.org.

SMOKING: DO YOU RISK CANCER OF THE PLEURA?

Tobacco is the main risk factor for cancer in the lung. However, smokers are there further forms of lung disease, such as pleural cancer (mesothelioma) and pneumothorax? The point of this lung disease and their relationship with tobacco.

The pleural cancer or mesothelioma is mainly due to asbestos excluding tobacco is as well a significant risk factor. In addition, addition, the risk of mesothelioma increased sharply in persons professionally exposed to asbestos, the more smokers.

This cancer is rare (1000 cases diagnosed each year), but very aggressive and poor prognosis. Often confused with lung cancer, but it is a particularly timely pleura, the membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the chest. Asbestos fibers and carcinogens present in tobacco smoke are moving to inflammation of the pleura and subsequently triggers scarring. Mesothelial cells eventually develop into malignant tumors.

What are the warning signs? Of breathing difficulties and chest pain primarily, but also: weight loss, fever, night sweats, cough.

Skin cancer in young and artificial UV:

The same phenomenon is observed in our country:


cancers of the skin, including melanoma, are increasing rapidly,age of the victims gradually decreases,parallel, the market for artificial UV was very successful.
