Researchers at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital are giving new hope to mesothelioma patients. Researchers have injected mice, with advanced Mesothelioma tumors, with a cancer cream called Aldara. 50% of the mice were completely cured of Mesothelioma. The injections caused the mice’s immune systems to produce cells which eliminated cancer. The drug is already on the market and clinical trials hope to have the drug available for use in humans in three to five years.
“There is hope for Mesothelioma suffers and it can not come fast enough,” said Attorney Paul Tellarico who handles Mesothelioma cases for the firm of Neblett, Beard & Arsenault. Because of the long latency period, as much as thirty to fifty years, it is often too late for many victims by the time they learn they have the disease.
