Malignant Mesothelioma Advances in Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Translational Therapies



Malignant Mesothelioma Advances in Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Translational Therapies by Harvey I. Pass, MD , Nicholas J. Vogelzang, MD, Michele Carbone, MD, PhD




Malignant mesothelioma remains one of the sentinel malignancies of oncology. It has a breathtakingly rapid natural  history with a median survival of 6 to 8 months when untreated, is environmentally related, and has such economic and social impact that  attorneys specialize in representing only mesothelioma patients. Expert  witnesses devote full time to testifying, and governments are  forced to consider not only the banning of the environmental agent but also  a reappraisal of the whole tort system for compensation to injured  victims. Furthermore, its presence in certain populations has changed the mindset of whole communities, such as Libby, Montana,  Cappadocia, Turkey, Sarnia, and Ontario.
