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.

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]

Asbestos was mined and used commercially in North America beginning in the

late 1800s. Its use increased greatly during World WarII. Since then, it

has been used in many industries. For example, thebui lding and construction

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.

More

than 5,000 products contain or have contained asbestos. Some of them are

listed below:

• Asbestos cement sheet and pipe products used for water supply and sewage

  piping, roofing and siding, casings for electrical wires, fire protection

  material, electrical switchboards and components, and residential and industrial

  building materials;

• Friction products, such as clutch facings, brake linings for automobiles,

  gaskets, and industrial friction materials;

• Products containing asbestos paper, such as table pads and heat-protective

  mats, heat and electrical wire insulation, industrial filters for beverages,

  and under lying material for sheet flooring;

• Asbestos textile products, such as packing components, roofing materials,

  and heat- and fire-resistant fabrics(including blankets and curtains);

• Most of the information on health effects comes from studies of workers

  exposed regularly to high levels of asbestos. In occupational settings

  all forms of asbestos

  have been shown to cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestosis

  is a noncancerous lung disease involving diffuse fibrotic scarring of the

  lungs. Persons with asbestosis can experience progressive shortness of

  breath. Lung

  cancer is associated with asbestos exposures; cigarette smoking and asbestos

  exposure multiply the risk of lung cancer beyond that caused by exposure

  to either of these materials separately. Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer

  of the lining

1. Stage Information

Patients with stage I disease have a significantly better prognosis

than those

with more advanced stages. However, because of the relative rarity of this

disease, exact survival information based upon stage is limited. A proposed

staging system based upon thoracic surgery principles and clinical data is

shown below. It is a modif ication of the older

system proposed by Butchart

et al. Other staging systems that have been employed, including a proposed

new international TNM staging system, are summarized by the International

Mesothelioma Interest Group.

• Stage I: Disease confined within the capsule of the

  parietal pleura:
  

  ipsilateral pleura, lung, pericardium, and diaphragm.

• Stage II: All of stage I with positive intrathoracic

  (N1 or N2) lymph nodes.

• Stage III: Local extension of disease into the following:

  chest wall or
  

  mediastinum; heart or through the diaphragm, peritoneum; with or without
  

  extrathoracic or contralateral (N3) lymph node involvement.

• Stage IV: Distant metastatic disease.

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]

General Information

Prognosis in this disease is

difficult to assess consistently because
there is gre

at variability in the time before diagnosis and the rate

of disease
progression. Various surgical procedures ma

y be possible in selected patients,
providing long-term

survival without cure. In large retrospective series of

pleural mesothelioma patients, important prognostic factors were found to be

stage, age, performance status, and histology.

For patients treated with aggressive

surgi

cal approaches, factors associated with improved long-term

survival include epithelial histology, negative lymph

nodes, and negative

surgical margins. For those patients

treated with aggressive surgical approaches,

nodal stat

us is an important prognostic factor. Median survival for

malignant

local pleural disease has been reported as 16

months

and extensive disease as 5 months. In some inst

ances the tumor grows through the

diaphragm making the s

ite of origin difficult to assess.

Cautious interpretat

ion of treatment results in this disease is imperative because of

the selection differences among series. Effusions, both pleural and

peritoneal, represent major sympt

omatic problems for at least two thirds of the

patients.

A history of asbestos exposure is reported in about 70

% to 80% of

all cases of mesothelioma.

Lewis and Sholnick have announced the publication of some simple precautionary steps can be taken to avoid high risk situations in regards to asbestos and mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. It refers specifically to a cancerous tumor which involves the mesothelial cells of an organ, usually the lungs or abdomen. Despite being classified under the rather broad category of cancer, however, Mesothelioma is unique for a number of reasons. First is the immense devastation of the disease, and the inability for modern medical techniques to significantly slow its onset or offer a cure. Approximately 75% of patients die within 18 months of the first signs of the disease. Second, is the long latency period between exposure to the cause of the disease, asbestos, and its onset. Latency runs the gamut from 15 to 50 years, meaning that a person may have been exposed to asbestos more than a half century before the first serious signs of the disease manifest themselves.

Thereís a silent killer out there. It creeps up on its victims, attacks them quietly and unsuspectingly, and initiates a wound that develops over many years before it eventually causes pain. This unstoppable murderer is known as mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor that develops on the mesothelial cells of either the lungs, heart or abdominal organs, and plagues those who have been exposed to asbestos for a prolonged period of time. Many who fall victim to this disease are people who have worked in specific trades or fields prior to the 1970s, such as blacksmiths, electricians, millwrights, and oil refinery workers.

Since it can take up to forty years for symptoms to surface, mesothelioma-related deaths are higher than ever in the 21st century. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that 1,493 people died from asbestos in 2000, compared to 77 people in 1968.

Treatment Option Overview

Standard treatment for all but localized mesothelio

ma is generally not

curative. Although some patients will experience long-term survival with

aggressive treatme

nt approaches, it remains unclear if overall survival has

been significantly altered by the different treatment

modalities or by

combinations of modalities. Extrapleur

al pneumonectomy in selected patients

with early stage disease may improve recurrence-free survival, but its impact

on overall survival is unknown. Pleurectomy and

decortication can provide

palliative relief from symptomatic effusions, discomfort caused by tumor

burden, and

pain caused by invasive tumor. Operative mortality from

pleurectomy/decortication is less than 2%, while mortality from extrapleural

pneumonectomy has ranged from

6% to 30%. The addition of radiation

therapy and/or chemotherapy following surgical intervention has not

demonstrated improved survival. The use of radiatio

n therapy in pleural

mesothelioma has been shown to alle

viate pain in the majority of patients

treated. However, the duration of symptom control is short-lived.

Single

agent and combination chemotherapy have been evaluated in single and combined

modality studies. The most studied agent is doxorubicin, which has produced

partial responses in approximately 15% to 20% of patients studied. Some

combination chemotherapy regimens have been reported to have higher response

rates in small phase II trials. However the toxicity reported is also higher

and there is no evidence that combination regimens result in longer survival

or

longer control of symptoms. Recurrent pleural effusions may be treated

with pleural sclerosing procedures; however, failure....[MORE]

It is documented that Australia had the highest per capita use of asbestos in the world from the 1950ís until the 1970ís. As a tragic consequence, Australia now has the highest per capita incidence of mesothelioma in the world. With more than 500 Australians contracting mesothelioma per year, it is estimated that up to 18,000 Australians will die from this asbestos related cancer by the year 2020.

Despite the growing awareness of the dangers of asbestos, there are many people who have not heard of Mesothelioma. This asbestos related cancer is defined as: a malignant spreading tumor of the mesothelium of the pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum, arising form the inhalation of asbestos fibers.

One of the most baffling and frightening known facts concerning Mesothelioma is that many years may pass, between inhalation of asbestos dust and its deadly legacy of disease; it is not uncommon for four decades or more to pass before symptoms due to asbestos dust inhalation become apparent.

In November 2004, I was an invited speaker at the Global Asbestos Congress 2004, held in Tokyo Japan. Over 800 participants from 40 countries around the world were in attendance. To be a part of such a large gathering of fellow humans, united in a quest to rid the poison of asbestos from our environments was an intensely moving experience. Having lost my husband to mesothelioma I know first hand the suffering this cruel disease places on its innocent victims.

• Is there a danger of nonoccupational exposure from the environment

  and products contaminated with asbestos fibers?

Asbestos is so widely used that the entire population has been exposed

to some degree. Air, drinking water, and a variety of consumer products

all may contain small amounts of asbestos. In addition, asbestos fibers

are released into the environm ent from natural deposits in the earth and

as a result of wear and deterioration of asbestos products. Disease is

unlikely to result from a single, high-level exposure, or from a short

period of exposure to lower levels of a sbestos.

• What other organi zations offer information related

  to asbestos exposure?

The organizations listed below can provide more information about asbestos

exposure.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is

responsible for preventing exposure, ad verse human health effects,

and diminished quality of life associated with exposure to hazardous substances

from waste sites, unplanned releases, and other sources of pollution present

in the environment. The ATSDR provides information about asbestos and where

to find occupational and environmental health clinics. The ATSDR Information

Center can be reached at:

Lewis and Sholnick have announced the publication of some simple precautionary steps can be taken to avoid high risk situations in regards to asbestos and mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. It refers specifically to a cancerous tumor which involves the mesothelial cells of an organ, usually the lungs or abdomen. Despite being classified under the rather broad category of cancer, however, Mesothelioma is unique for a number of reasons. First is the immense devastation of the disease, and the inability for modern medical techniques to significantly slow its onset or offer a cure. Approximately 75% of patients die within 18 months of the first signs of the disease. Second, is the long latency period between exposure to the cause of the disease, asbestos, and its onset. Latency runs the gamut from 15 to 50 years, meaning that a person may have been exposed to asbestos more than a half century before the first serious signs of the disease manifest themselves. The average reported latency, however, is approximately 35-40 years.

Precautionary Steps

Because of the devastating nature of the disease and because we are able to point to a single root source, asbestos exposure, there is significant reason for all individuals to take necessary precautions to avoid contraction of the disease. While certainly no steps taken can fully eliminate all risk of asbestos exposure, some simple precautionary steps can be taken to avoid high risk situations.

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.

2. How is asbestos used?
3. What are the health hazards of exposure to asbestos?

Exposure to asbestos may increase the risk of several serious diseases:





• Asbestosis? a chronic

  lung ailment that can produce shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent

  lung damage;

• Lung cancer;

Thereís a silent killer out there. It creeps up on its victims, attacks them quietly and unsuspectingly, and initiates a wound that develops over many years before it eventually causes pain. This unstoppable murderer is known as mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor that develops on the mesothelial cells of either the lungs, heart or abdominal organs, and plagues those who have been exposed to asbestos for a prolonged period of time. Many who fall victim to this disease are people who have worked in specific trades or fields prior to the 1970s, such as blacksmiths, electricians, millwrights, and oil refinery workers.

Since it can take up to forty years for symptoms to surface, mesothelioma-related deaths are higher than ever in the 21st century. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that 1,493 people died from asbestos in 2000, compared to 77 people in 1968.

Mesothelioma treatment methods differ depending on the stage of the cancer upon detection, as well as the patientís age and personal choice of treatment. The four distinct stages of the disease are a factor in determining the type of mesothelioma treatment that can be carried out. The first stage is when the tumor has had limited growth on the pleural lining (the lining of the lungs). At this stage, an attempt can be made to surgically remove the entire tumor. However, if the tumor is detected at a later stage when it has invaded surrounding areas, it is considered incurable.

Traditionally, the later stages of mesothelioma have been treated with either chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells while radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Although mesothelioma treatment methods have been proven to prolong patientsí lives, they cannot cure the disease. Ongoing clinical trials are dedicated to overcoming this debilitating illness. Current experimen....[MORE]

Asbestos was mined and used commercially in North America beginning in the

late 1800s. Its use increased greatly during World WarII. Since then, it

has been used in many industries. For example, thebui lding and construction

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
