Category Health | Friday, March 12th, 2010

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that most often, though not always, comes from exposure to asbestos, and is an aggressive form of cancer. Researchers are looking into a vaccine for mesothelioma that so far appears safe.

The news that mesothelioma has claimed the life of Los Angeles Rams’ Merlin Olsen highlights the need for early testing and treatment options; one of the newest of which is a vaccine that so far appears to be safe in humans and uses immunotherapy, a promising new approach for treating various types of cancer.
