Cancer, the name itself is shocking to the general population; what to speak of the victims! In the recent past, there has been tremendous research in understanding the behavior of cancers and effort to prevent the disease by various possible means, including preparation of vaccine. As far as our present understanding goes, the causes can be multi-factorial, ranging from environmental factors to genetic predisposition; for which a particular approach to prevent or cure the...

Asbestos has proven to be one of the most deadly industrial materials ever put to use. This revelation has been an impetus to the creation of great environmental controls in the workplace. One interesting study that explores this issue is called, "The relationship between respiratory impairment and asbestos-related pleural abnormality in an active work force." By Bourbeau J, Ernst P, Chrome J, Armstrong B, Becklake MR. - Am Rev Respir Dis. 1990...

It has been proven that the inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to a variety of health problems ranging from asthma to cancer. Another interesting study that explored mesothelioma rates in an asbestos cement factory is called, "Follow up study of workers manufacturing chrysotile asbestos cement products." By M J Gardner, P D Winter, B Pannett, C A Powell - British Journal of Industrial Medicine 1986;43:726-732. Here is an excerpt: "A cohort study has been...

Lung cancer and mesothelioma are two deadly diseases caused by the inhalation of asbestos particles in the workplace. Unfortunately, it can take several decades for symptoms to become present which can delay the mesothelioma diagnosis. One interesting study that examined occupational disease is called, "Computed tomography screening for lung cancer in asbestos-exposed workers" by M.Tiitola - Lung Cancer, Volume 35, Issue 1, Pages 17-22. Here is an excerpt:...

Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer that can attack the membranes surrounding the heart, lung, and stomach. One interesting article that examines asbestos exposure in vitro is called, "Human Alveolar Macrophage Cytokine Release in Response to in Vitro and in Vivo Asbestos Exposure" by Raymond C. Perkins, Ronald K. Scheule1, Raymond Hamilton, Glen Gomes, Gary Freidman and Andrij Holian - Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Departments of Internal Medicine and...

As many are already aware, asbestos exposure has been linked to a number of life threatening diseases. Most exposure related illnesses result from the inhalation of tiny asbestos particles or fibers. One interesting study that examined the rate of disease in miners is called, "Relation between asbestosis and bronchial cancer in amphibole asbestos miners" by G K Sluis-Cremer, B N Bezuidenhout - Br J Ind Med 1989;46:537-540 - Epidemiology Research Unit, Medical...

The development of asbestos related disease in workers has been closely studied for some time. However, a new wave of mesothelioma cases are emerging from the spouses of workers that were exposed to this hazardous material. One important study is called, "Asbestos-Related Disease from Household Exposure" by Gary R. Epler, Muiris X. Fitz Gerald, Edward A. Gaensler, Charles B. Carrington - Respiration 1980;39:229-240. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The...

Asbestos is a mineral that has been used in thousands of products. When it is mined, processed, or otherwise manipulated asbestos can be broken into tiny fibers that are released into the air. When inhaled, these fibers can cause cancer. One interesting study that examined lung tissue samples in workers is called, "A Pathological and Mineralogical Study of Asbestos Related Deaths in the United Kingdom in 1977" by J. C. Wagner, F. D. Pooley, G. Berry, R. M. E. Seal,...

People that have worked within the asbestos industry or where the mineral was used in that products they handled are generally at higher risk for developing cancer and mesothelioma. One interesting study that examines the advantage of bleach digestions is called, "A procedure for the isolation of amosite asbestos and ferruginous bodies from lung tissue and sputum" by Marion G. Williams Jr. a; Ronald F. Dodson b; Carolyn Corn a;George A. Hurst - Journal of Toxicology and...

Prostate cancer is the second most deadly of diseases in men. This killer disease will act stealthily and results in death. Most of the men who are infected with this disease are not aware about it until the disease progress to an advanced stage. Once it advances, the cells grow out of control and will spread to other vital organs of the body. Prostate cancer is the most prominently found cancer in men above fifty years of age. The risk related with prostate cancer increases with time...
