Mesothelioma used to be a rare disease, but because of the
widespread use of asbestos it has now been described as an epidemic
around the world. The disease has proven exceptionally resistant to
common forms of treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery).
Mesothelioma has a very aggressive natural history with a median
survival of around 9 months. There has been an explosion in
knowledge about mesothelioma in the past few years, partly
stimulated by the formation of the International Mesothelioma
Interest Group network. This book represents a state-of-the-art
review of the disease, from laboratory through to the bedside, from
diagnostic procedures through to treatment and from imaging and
early detection through to medico-legal aspects. It will be of
interest to any clinician or scientist with any involvement in
asbestos-related diseases, as well as members of the legal
profession and anyone with an interest in respiratory diseases.
