An experimental drug that uses mesothelioma’s response to cellular stress against it showed early signs of activity in a small phase 1 clinical trial. The drug, called RSO-021, is designed to block an enzyme that helps mesothelioma cells survive. Researchers reported that six of nine evaluable patients with previously [...]
Researchers will present the first clinical findings for ISM6331, an experimental drug being studied in patients with advanced mesothelioma and other solid tumors, at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress in October 2026. ISM6331 is an oral targeted therapy designed to interfere with proteins that may help mesothelioma [...]
A phase 2 clinical trial is studying whether adding the immunotherapy drug Keytruda to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for certain patients with pleural mesothelioma. The CHIMERA trial is evaluating Keytruda, also known as pembrolizumab, with platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed before mesothelioma surgery. Participants who undergo surgery then [...]
Although patients can outlive a prognosis and even reach remission, mesothelioma remains one of the world's most deadly conditions. This is why mesothelioma patients should take as many measures as possible to ensure their personal finances and responsibilities are covered. Many people have a will prepared, but there are [...]
Mesothelioma is considered a terminal cancer because there is currently no cure. However, a mesothelioma diagnosis is not always immediately fatal. Some patients live for several years after diagnosis, particularly when the cancer is found early and responds well to treatment. A patient’s prognosis depends on several factors, including [...]
If you've recently heard about the Orb Funkee recall, it's understandable to have questions. In May 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of certain Orb Funkee Squeeze Toys after testing found that the sand inside some products may contain fibrous tremolite, a form [...]
Cryoablation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very cold temperatures to freeze and destroy cancer cells. For people with mesothelioma, it is being explored as a possible option, especially if you are looking into newer or less invasive approaches. While cryoablation is not currently a standard treatment for [...]
Asbestos awareness week takes place each year from April 1–7, bringing global attention to the risks of asbestos exposure and the importance of prevention. The campaign highlights how asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, continue to affect families today. By raising awareness, it aims to support education and advocacy while promoting [...]
Researchers are exploring whether a new MRI-based mesothelioma test could help detect tumors earlier than current diagnostic methods. A recent radiology study found that subtle patterns in how tissue absorbs contrast during MRI scans may signal early mesothelioma, which could eventually help doctors diagnose the disease sooner. Researchers are [...]
