One need only look at the figures to realise just how widely the impact of mesothelioma has been felt across communities in the UK.
In 1968 the cancer of the lung lining (or in some cases abdomen) was responsible for 153 recorded deaths. In 2007 the death toll was 2,156, and with deaths not expected to peak until 2016, it is clear that it will be some time before experts will be able to assess the full scale of the tragedy.
As such, and with new cases arising every year, scientists continue to carry out research into the condition. Again, it is easy to see why, 1 in 100 men in the UK born between 1940 and 1950 will die from the disease; in some places such as Teeside or Plymouth, the rate is even higher.
One important organisation on the research front is Barts Hospital. Currently, they are hoping to improve understanding of the cancer by looking at the way mesothelioma restricts itself to one part of the body and doesn't spread to other parts of the body, unlike other cancers.
The Barts team are looking for donations to assist them with their pioneering research. A spokesperson comments, "Dr Steele and his team rely heavily on the generosity of donors to enable them to continue their groundbreaking work. We are grateful to many wonderful people who have been fundraising on their behalf through organising football matches, taking part in runs and other challenges. However we do need more help – so please call us now on 020 7618 1720 if you are interested in helping to raise money for people affected by this rare and devastating form of cancer."
