The quest for a cure is one of the subjects that is often on the minds of those forced to claim for mesothelioma compensation. Research into the causes of the asbestos cancer and potential treatments continues around the world, and one 2006 study by Canadian scientists has provoked enough interest in the science community to be worth mentioning.
The paper has the fearsome title, "Therapeutic potential of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to down-regulate thymidylate synthase in mesothelioma." What this boils down to is an attempt to examine the effect of a synthetic 'snippet' of DNA on the production of a chemical, known as TS, believed to be involved in the rate of development of the industrial disease.
The method the scientists used to study this was to culture cells taken from an asbestos cancer sufferer, and from a benign tumour, and compare the effects of 'infecting' these tumour cells with the DNA snippets. The effect that they reported was that the growth of malignant mesothelioma cells was not only slowed, but slowed to a greater degree than the benign tumour cells.
This is an exciting result, although at an early stage; several reports since have chosen to develop the work undertaken here, but the process of turning a potential avenue of exploration into a viable asbestos cancer drug is a long one and these are only the first steps. However, it is possible to hope that these are steps in the right direction.
