Asbestos kills navy vet
The grieving relatives of a Portishead veteran are hoping that an inquest into his death will save lives by raising the profile of a ‘devastating’ disease.

Ken Batty, of Manor Close, served his country in the Royal Navy for 14 years after joining as an apprentice in 1951. By the time he left [...]

As he sits at his kitchen table with his tray full of medicine that he must take to keep breathing, Rochester Steverson, of Pittsburgh's Windgap neighborhood, is hoping he does not become the kind of statistic kept by the federal government.

1. What is asbestos?

?Asbestos? is the name given to a group of minerals that occurnaturally

as bundles of fibers which can be separated into thinthreads. These fibers

are not affected by heat or chemicals and do not conduct electricity. For

these reasons, asbestos has been widely used in many industries. Four types

of asbestos have been used commercially:





• Chrysotile, or white asbestos;
  

  
  

• Crocidolite, or blue asbestos;
  

  
  

• Amosite, which usually has brown fibers; and
  

  
  

• Anthophyllite, which usually has gray fibers.

Chrysotile asbestos, with its curly fibers, is in the serpentinefamily of

minerals. The other types of asbestos, which all have rod-like fibers, are

known as amphiboles.

Asbestos fiber masses tend to break easily into a dust composed of tiny

particles that can float in the air and stick toclothes. The f ibers may

be easily inhaled or swallowed and can causes erious health problems.

Researchers with the largest phase III trial

to date for mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer affecting the lining of

the lung, reported results showing that patients on a new chemotherapy

drug regimen

live longer and have less pain than those on an older drug. The

findings were announced at the annual meeting of the American Society

of Clinical Oncology meeting in Orlando, Fla., on May 20, 2002.

Pemetrexed

(brand name AlimtaŸ) is a novel antifolate, a class of drugs that

targets the folic acid metabolic pathway, which effects availability of

certain B complex vitamins. The results of the trial show that tumors

shrank in 41 percent of patients on pemetrexed in combination with a

more commonly used chemotherapy agent called cisplatin.

Only 17 percent of patients receiving cisplatin alone experienced tumor

shrinkage. Additionally, those on the pemetrexed combination lived

nearly three months longer than those on cisplatin alone.

According

to lead author, Nicholas J. Vogelzang, M.D., University of Chicago

Cancer Research Center, "This is the largest clinical trial ever

conducted in this disease and the 25 to 30 percent improvement in

survival for patients on the combination therapy is the first time

anyone has documented a significant improvement in patients treated for

mesothelioma."

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is associated with a history of asbestos

exposure in about 70 to 80 percent of all cases and there is no

approved or very effective chemotherapy for the disease. Researchers

hypothesized that pemetrexed....[MORE]

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the

mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs. Most people who develop

mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles.

1. What is the mesothelium?

The mesothelium is a membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. It

is composed of two layers of cells: One layer immediately surrounds the organ; the other forms a sac

around it. The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing

moving organs (such as the beating heart and the expan....[MORE]

industry has used it for strengthening cementand plastics as well as for

insulation, fireproofing, and sound absorption. The shipbuilding industry

has used asbestos to insulate boilers, steampipes, and hot water pipes. The

automotive industry uses asbestos in vehicle brakeshoes and clutch pads.
