Australian Study Shows Treatment Advances for Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Australian Study Shows Treatment Advances for Peritoneal Mesothelioma Patients with peritoneal Australian Study Shows mesothelioma undergoing second cytoreductive surgery had median survival 92 Australia. That same group patients also had survival rate 71. ovarian,225 patients, from 1996 2018. Peritoneal metastasis, was in all the in the study, CRS/PIC surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal are becoming the standard care. Pleural mesothelioma risk may level off over several decades, but the risk for peritoneal mesothelioma never goes down. That is the conclusion of researchers at Italy’s University of Eastern Piedmont. It is based on data from more than 50,000 asbestos-exposed Italian workers.    More than 40 years after asbestos exposure, the workers’ risk for peritoneal mesothelioma continued to rise. Asbestos is the primary cause of all types of malignant mesothelioma. Even peritoneal mesothelioma short-term asbestos exposure raises the risk for peritoneal meso...

UK Study Shows Using Radiation Therapy to Prevent Mesothelioma Metastasis is Not Worth the Risk

Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma undergoing a second cytoreductive surgery had a median survival of 92 months, according to a recent study at St. George Hospital and the University of South Wales in Sydney, Australia. That same group of patients also had a five-year survival rate of 71. 8%, further illustrating the progress being made in treating the peritoneal subtype of this rare and aggressive cancer.

A Shanghai-produced aortic heart valve has been implanted in a 70-year-old patient at a local hospital for the first time since its approval. The VitaFlow valve developed by MicroPort based in Zhangjiang High-Tech Park in the Pudong New Area was successfully implanted into the heart of the male patient on Wednesday at Zhongshan Hospital. He suffered severe aortic valve stenosis along with valve thickening and calcification. Dr Ge Junbo, chief physician of the hospital’s cardiac division, conducted the operation, which took about an hour. “The valve features an innovative double-layer rim to reduce heart valve problems treatment without surgery perivalvular leakage, a major postoperative concern,” said Ge.

"Even more are persistent disparities higher death rates among Americans compared white men had highest rates. The recent JAMA study investigated national trends in cardiometabolic disease deaths in the U. S. during 1999–2017. The results reveal that while the overall rate of cardiometabolic disease deaths has been falling since 1999, the decline was slower after 2010. "Racial disparities in cardiometabolic causes of death persisted," note the authors, who found that black people are still more likely to die of these diseases than white people. Within the overall trend, the team uncovered differences among the conditions as follows: "Our findings ma...

The approval will open up the surgery to virtually all patients with aortic stenosis. TAVR is a procedure to replace an aortic valve without open-heart surgery, resulting in decreased risk and recovery time. The procedure has quickly become popular in high risk patients who cannot undergo surgery, but the approval means that younger, stronger patients will now be eligible. The majority of patients who are treated for aortic aortic valve stenosis treatment stenosis, which is a narrowing of the aortic valve, are treated with TAVR rather than open heart surgery already.
