New Gene Test to benefit Surgery Patients of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a sleeper disease that affects individuals some 20 to 30years after their first exposure to asbestos. When exposed to asbestos, its fine particles find its way into the lungs where it becomes logged within its cell structure. The irritation resulting from the asbestos being lodged in the cells, the body releases cytokines that act as mediators to relieve the irritation. The subsequent interaction with the asbestos particles sets off a chain reaction of chemical processes that end up in malignant transformation and cancerous cells.

When a family member has Mesothelioma, it can be incredibly difficult on all members of the family. Often the victim goes from being relatively healthy to being in critical condition very rapidly. It is very important to understand as much about how to deal with this disease as a family as it is to understand the disease itself.
