June 6th, 2008. Long-term mortality from pleural and peritoneal cancer after exposure to asbestos: Possible role of asbestos clearance
The risk for pleural cancer, rather than showing an indefinite increase, might reach a plateau when a sufficiently long time has elapsed since exposure. The different trends for pleural and peritoneal cancer might be related to clearance of the asbestos from the workers' lungs.
Conclusion: Based on the data reviewed, > 70% of patients who might otherwise have been eligible for standard advanced NSCLC trials were not candidates for ECOG 4599. Outcome with respect to this study must be interpreted in the context of eligibility restrictions.
August 24th, 2007. Impressive remission of locally advanced malignant peritoneal mesothelioma treated with combination of radiotherapy and intraperitoneal paclitaxel
Conclusion: The combination of radiotherapy and intraperitoneal paclitaxel seems suitable in palliative settings primarily aimed at improving the quality of life.
