Bart's Mesothelioma Research - Home Page: "Welcome to Bart's Mesothelioma Research
Bart’s Mesothelioma Research is a group of doctors, nurses and laboratory researchers aiming to improve the treatment and increase our understanding of mesothelioma and lung cancer. Mesothelioma is the main type of cancer caused by asbestos poisoning. Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses such as lung cancer and pleural plaques are increasing in incidence even though asbestos was little used after 1980. The problem is that there is a delay of between 30 and 50 years from the exposure to asbestos dust and the development of one of the diseases."

Pleural mesothelioma treatment
Your choice of treatment for pleural mesothelioma will depend on a number of factors. These include the stage of your cancer, any other medical conditions you may have, and your general fitness. Unfortunately, mesothelioma can be very difficult to treat. Nearly all treatment is aimed at controlling the disease for as long as possible and keeping symptoms under control. Mesothelioma can be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.
Some people with early mesothelioma may have surgery, followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or a combination of both. Or they may have chemotherapy before surgery. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be used to control symptoms if mesothelioma is more advanced.
Supportive care (Palliative care)
Mesothelioma is often diagnosed when it is quite advanced. Some people with very advanced disease may be too ill to cope with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. But doctors can still give you treatment to try to relieve symptoms such as pain, breathing problems and weight loss."
