West Palm Beach mesothelioma lawyer explores new lung cancer in asbestos study

The success of this cancer treatment may provide give asbestos treatment centers the mesothelioma drugs they so desperately need to treat various mesothelioma stages. The patient avoids an intensive surgery and the radiation kills the mesothelioma asbestos cancer cells while sparing other parts of the lung and surrounding vital tissues.

Dedicated mesothelioma lawyer, Susan Ramsey, details the specifics of the process:

• The study will consider patients who have not had recent radiation therapy or chemotherapy and have not received prior Alimta chemotherapy.
• Patients enrolled receive several rounds of targeted chemotherapy using the drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin.
• All patients will receive targeted radiotherapy using the P-32 radioisotope. Patients may elect to receive additional surgical treatment, including removal of the affected lung lining or lung.
