In 2006, Jon Matthews was diagnosed with mesothelioma and doctors told him he had only 12 months to live. He found his own unique way of coping with the tragic news: betting on his own life.

Matthews, at 55-years-old, laughed all the way to the bank as he collected 5000 pounds, or about $8000 US dollars, when he lived past the day.Graham Sharp,...more
Across the world, victims of asbestos exposure are diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer. Until now, doctors have used radiation-based therapy to treat the disease, but scientists are researching immunotherapy to find a cure for mesothelioma. Why Look for an alternative?Mesothelioma rarely responds to a single type of treatment. Chemotherapy is often combined with surgery and radiation therapy for a cancer in its early stages. These treatments are invasive, aggressive, and are limited to patients who can withstand them. Sometimes these methods help extend the life of certain patients, but scientists are looking elsewhere for a cure for mesothelioma.Why Immunotherapy?Researchers are looking to alternative, less-invasive methods like immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy, which assaults the tumor with radiation and has a number of negative side effects, immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the immune system to reject and destroy tumors using host defenses. When successful, the patients immune system will cause the tumor to shrink.Clinical TrialsAn immunotherapy clinical trial in patients with mesothelioma is currently underway in Washington, D.C. Expert scientists are...more

ALBANY, New York - A New York enterprise was fined by the Division of Environmental High quality for asbestos violations. W.L. Thomas Environmental was fined $8,400 for an asbestos violation at a church in Salem.Just a handful of months in the past in July, the company had to clear away 850 square feet of asbestos infested ground tiles from the Very first Baptist Church basement.
