#MESOTHELIOMA UK RESEARCH

[materialsscienceandengineering]

Tiny golden bullets could help tackle asbestos-related cancers

Gold nanotubes -- tiny hollow cylinders one thousandth the width of a human hair -- could be used to treat mesothelioma, a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, according to a team of researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Leeds.

In a study published today in journal Small, the researchers demonstrate that once inside the cancer cells, the nanotubes absorb light, causing them to heat up, thereby killing the cells.

More than 2,600 people are diagnosed in the UK each year with mesothelioma, a malignant form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Although the use of asbestos is outlawed in the UK now, the country has the world's highest levels of mesothelioma because it imported vast amounts of asbestos in the post-war years. The global usage of asbestos remains high, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, which means mesothelioma will become a global problem.

"Mesothelioma is one of the 'hard-to-treat' cancers, and the best we can offer people with existing treatments is a few months of extra survival," said Dr Arsalan Azad from the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research at the University of Cambridge. "There's an important unmet need for new, effective treatments."

Gold nanotubes and infrared light could treat asbestos-related cancer Gold nanotubes can destroy cancer cells, according to physicists and medical researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Leeds. They found that their nanotubes, which were tuned to have strong near-infrared absorption, can enter mesothelioma cells and destroy them when heated with laser light. Every year, more than 2700 people in the UK are diagnosed with mesothelioma. This cancer usually grows in the pleural membrane, a thin lining that surrounds the lungs. The vast majority of cases are caused by exposure to asbestos dust. When damaged, asbestos releases microscopic fibres that can be inhaled. These fibres can then migrate through lung tissue into the pleural membrane and cause mesothelioma to develop. Asbestos has been banned in the UK since the late 1990s, but mesothelioma can take from 15 to 60 years to develop. “Mesothelioma is one of the ‘hard-to-treat’ cancers, and the best we can offer people with existing treatments is a few months of extra survival,” says Arsalan Azad at the University of Cambridge. “There’s an important unmet need for new, effective treatments.” To develop a potential treatment, the researchers turned to gold nanotubes. They hypothesized that if absorbed by mesothelioma cells and then heated using near-infrared light, these hollow tubes – one thousandth the width of a human hair – would destroy the cancer cells. https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0uzEcDrmc/?igshid=1j43ja4irnus4

Unlocking health data to improve oncology outcomes

Overview

The NHS’ globally unique health data ecosystem has the potential to improve health outcomes. With around 363,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year, oncology data can further be leveraged to help researchers make more informed decisions about medicines discovery, research and value, to improve cancer outcomes and patient experience.

But how do we efficiently access these evidence sources as governance and privacy concerns increase?

Foundations are being put in place, in the UK and across the globe. In addition to healthcare organisations (which at the UK level include the establishment of the national institute for health data science – Health Data Research UK, and NHSX), information governance is key, as is alignment to UK and EU regulations such as the July 2019 DHSC Framework for the Value of NHS Research and GDPR.

Meanwhile, as NICE is increasingly mobilising real-world evidence, it’s critical that the right data is made available to inform reimbursement decisions, providing actionable evidence for healthcare technology assessments.

Innovative approaches are also being developed in order to improve appropriate data access. This includes simulated data for generating real-world insights as well as DATA-CAN, the Health Data Research Hub for Cancer working in partnership with patients and the public, to make high-quality health data more accessible for cancer researchers, clinicians and other health professionals.

Focus

The Unlocking health data to improve oncology outcomes webinar, in association with IQVIA, will take place on Tuesday 28th April from 13:00-14:00 GMT and will look at how oncology data can be used safely and appropriately to:

Drive more oncology research

Make informed decisions from drug research, drug discovery through to drug value

Encourage collaboration across healthcare stakeholders – payers, clinicians, researchers, industry, with the patient at the centre

Improve care and patient outcomes

Know Why Asbestos Removal is Important for Your Home

Are you concerned about your house and planning to renovate it? Then, you may consider asbestos removal to be one of the primary procedures that can keep your property free from uncertain dangers. Though asbestos does not cause hazards when it's in good condition but as the fibres start deteriorating it can cause health issues. The small fibres that are almost invisible can be easily inhaled in your body tissues. It even causes fatal disease like mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Therefore, researchers in the UK are suggesting the homeowners for asbestos removal. Apart from health issues, it takes a toll on the financial conditions of the homeowners. According to law, the homeowners will be held accountable for any kind of harm that is caused by the negligence in terms of maintaining asbestos in their home. Even if the lawsuit is called for, the homeowner may have to pay an expensive amount to cover the medical charges.

Is There A Cure for Mesothelioma?

Is There A Cure for Mesothelioma?

Though mesothelioma is incurable, treatment choices and results improve if the disease is found at an early stage. But because the period between the first exposure to asbestos and the diagnosis of mesothelioma is generally between 20 and 50 decades, the illness is usually found at an advanced point such as stage 4 mesothelioma. Along with the time it takes for the disorder and the symptoms to grow, the diagnosis is frequently delayed as these symptoms mimic other common problems. Because individuals confuse these symptoms along with other minor disorders, they’ll take all of the opportunity to visit the physician or dismiss them entirely.

Time is running out when it comes to combating an aggressive disease like mesothelioma, therefore the indicators should not be ignored. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma (chest disease ) could include pain in the chest or lower spine, difficulty breathing, cough, fever, excessive perspiration, fatigue, weight reduction (without trying), difficulty swallowing food glued), hoarseness and swelling of the arms and face. The symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma (disease of the lining of the stomach ) may include abdominal pain (stomach ), stomach swelling or harm, weight loss (without trying), nausea and vomiting, and constipation.

Survival data for mesothelioma

Mesothelioma survival numbers are extremely general quotes which needs to be interpreted with care. Since they’re based on the expertise of groups of individuals, they don’t predict the odds of success of a specific individual. There are several distinct procedures for assessing and documenting cancer survival numbers. Your health care provider can clarify mesothelioma figures and what they mean to youpersonally.

Mesothelioma Survival by Location, Stage, and Subtype

Mesothelioma survival changes based on the place, point, and specific cell subtype. Generally, mesothelioma produces a poor prognosis because it’s competitive. Normally, mesothelioma is only found at an advanced stage, which makes it more challenging to take care of. Mesothelioma alternative treatments are rising as a exceptional healing method for this particular disease. Complete healing treatments for mesothelioma will also be rising amongst patients. Just a few of individuals are diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Legislation of the epithelioid cell subtype provides a much better prognosis compared to other mobile subtypes. This sort of mesothelioma is simpler to cure and is connected to a more life expectancy. The sarcomatoid mobile subtype mesothelioma generates the poorest prognosis.

Assessing Risk

Cancer cells may increase to other areas of the human body. The cancer cells from the lining can occasionally proceed to neighboring organs and cells. When cancer cells spread, what’s called a metastasis happens. For physicians, the cancer cells at the new website are equal to those from the lining. Cancer consistently bears the title of the area where it originated. Thus, when mesothelioma in the chest spreads into the backbone (or anyplace else), it’s still referred to as mesothelioma. It may only be known as bone cancer when it’s originated in the cells from the bones of the spinal column. Late phases such as stage 3 mesothelioma may be hard to properly diagnose.

Mesothelioma Testing

Your physician will ask you questions regarding your wellbeing and perform a general physical exam. If the indications point to mesothelioma, more tests will be completed.

The next tests are a few who May Be required:

Chest x-ray for Mesothelioma: This is often the first evaluation that’s done searching for issues with your lungs. If any change is detected, you may need additional tests.

Computed tomography scan for Mesothelioma: This analysis is also called”CT scan or CAT scan.” It’s a distinctive sort of radiography that captures pictures of the interior of the human body. A CT scan may also be utilized to perform a biopsy (see info below).

PET scan for Mesothelioma: in this particular study, you’re extended a unique kind of sugar which may be understood within your own body using a camera. When there’s cancer, then the glucose seems as”radioactive stains” signaling where the cancer remains. With this study, the entire body is analyzed. Additionally, it may help if the physician believes cancer has spread but doesn’t know where.

Magnetic resonance imaging for Mesothelioma: This analysis, known in English as MRI, uses radio waves and strong magnets rather than X-rays to make detailed pictures. MRIs are extremely handy for analyzing soft tissues.

Blood tests for Mesothelioma: Blood tests aren’t utilized to find mesothelioma. Though blood tests may give the doctor more information about your wellbeing status.

Biopsies: Your physician removes a tiny piece of tissue or a little bit of fluid that has collected where cancer seems to be. Then it’s analyzed to figure out whether it contains cancer cells. A biopsy is the best way to know for certain if you’ve got cancer. There are various kinds of biopsies, in addition to approaches to do them. Consult your physician which sort of biopsy you may need. Every sort of biopsy has benefits and disadvantages. The selection of the kind of biopsy to use is dependent upon your case.

Survival data for mesothelioma

Mesothelioma survival numbers are extremely general quotes which needs to be interpreted with care. Since they’re based on the expertise of groups of individuals, they don’t predict the odds of success of a specific individual. There are several distinct techniques for assessing and documenting cancer survival numbers. Your health care provider can clarify mesothelioma figures and what they mean for you.

Mesothelioma Survival by Location, Stage, and Subtype

Mesothelioma survival changes based on the place, point, and specific cell subtype. Generally, mesothelioma produces a poor prognosis because it’s competitive. Normally, mesothelioma is only found at an advanced stage, which makes it more challenging to take care of. Mesothelioma alternative treatments are rising as a special healing method for this particular disease. Complete healing treatments for mesothelioma will also be rising amongst patients. Just a few individuals are diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Legislation of the epithelioid cell subtype provides a much better prognosis compared to other mobile subtypes. This sort of mesothelioma is simpler to cure and is connected to a more life expectancy. The sarcomatoid mobile subtype mesothelioma generates the poorest prognosis.

Assessing Risk

Cancer cells may increase to other areas of the human body. The cancer cells from the lining can occasionally proceed to neighboring organs and cells. When cancer cells spread, what’s called a metastasis happens. For physicians, the cancer cells at the new website are equal to those from the lining. Cancer consistently bears the title of this area where it originated. Thus, when mesothelioma in the chest spreads into the backbone (or anyplace else), it’s still referred to as mesothelioma. It may only be known as bone cancer when it’s originated in the cells from the bones of the spinal column. Late phases such as stage 3 mesothelioma may be hard to properly diagnose.

Mesothelioma Testing

Your physician will ask you questions regarding your wellbeing and perform a general physical exam. If the indications point to mesothelioma, more tests will be completed.

The next tests are a few who May Be required:

Chest x-ray for Mesothelioma: This is often the first evaluation that’s done searching for issues with your lungs. If any change is detected, you may need additional tests.

Computed tomography scan for Mesothelioma: This analysis is also called”CT scan or CAT scan.” It’s a distinctive sort of radiography that captures pictures of the interior of the human body. A CT scan may also be utilized to perform a biopsy (see info below).

PET scan for Mesothelioma: in this particular study, you’re extended a unique kind of sugar which may be understood within your own body using a camera. When there’s cancer, then the glucose seems as”radioactive stains” signaling where the cancer remains. With this study, the entire body is analyzed. Additionally, it may help if the physician believes cancer has spread but doesn’t know where.

Magnetic resonance imaging for Mesothelioma: This analysis, known in English as MRI, uses radio waves and strong magnets rather than X-rays to make detailed pictures. MRIs are extremely handy for analyzing soft tissues.

Blood tests for Mesothelioma: Blood tests aren’t utilised to find mesothelioma. Though blood tests may give the doctor more information about your wellbeing status.

Biopsies: Your physician removes a tiny piece of tissue or a little bit of fluid that has collected where cancer seems to be. Then it’s analyzed to figure out whether it contains cancer cells. A biopsy is the best way to know for certain if you’ve got cancer. There are various kinds of biopsies, in addition to approaches to do them. Consult your physician which sort of biopsy you may need. Every sort of biopsy has benefits and disadvantages. The selection of the kind of biopsy to use is dependent upon your case.

Is There A Cure for Mesothelioma?

Is There A Cure for Mesothelioma?

Although mesothelioma is incurable, treatment options and outcomes improve if the disease is detected at an early stage. However, since the time between the first exposure to asbestos and the diagnosis of mesothelioma is usually between 20 and 50 years, the disease is usually detected at an advanced stage like stage 4 mesothelioma. In addition to the time it takes for the disease and the symptoms to develop, the diagnosis is often delayed because these symptoms mimic other more common conditions. Because people confuse these symptoms with other minor ailments, they will take all the time to go to the doctor or ignore them completely.

Time is running out when it comes to fighting an aggressive disease such as mesothelioma, so the symptoms should never be ignored. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma (chest mesothelioma) may include pain in the chest or lower back, difficulty breathing, cough, fever, excessive sweating, fatigue, weight loss (without trying), difficulty swallowing food glued), hoarseness and swelling of the face and arms. The symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma (mesothelioma of the lining of the abdomen) may include abdominal pain (abdomen), abdominal swelling or damage, weight loss (without trying), nausea and vomiting, and constipation.

Survival statistics for mesothelioma

Mesothelioma survival statistics are very general estimates that should be interpreted with caution. Because they are based on the experience of groups of people, they do not predict the chances of survival of a particular person. There are many different methods for evaluating and recording cancer survival statistics. Your doctor can explain mesothelioma statistics and what they mean to you.

Mesothelioma Survival by Location, Stage, and Subtype

Mesothelioma survival varies depending on the location, stage, and particular cell subtype. In general, mesothelioma produces a poor prognosis since it is aggressive. Usually, mesothelioma is only detected at an advanced stage, making it more difficult to treat. Mesothelioma alternative treatments are on the rise as a unique healing method for this disease. Complete healing treatments for mesothelioma are also on the rise amongst patients. Only a small number of people are diagnosed with early mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma of the epithelioid cell subtype gives a better prognosis than other cell subtypes. This type of mesothelioma is easier to treat and is linked to a longer life expectancy. The sarcomatoid cell subtype mesothelioma produces the poorest prognosis.

Evaluating Risk

Cancer cells can increase to other parts of the body. The cancer cells in the lining can sometimes move to nearby organs and tissues. When cancer cells spread, what is known as a metastasis occurs. For doctors, the cancer cells in the new site are identical to those in the lining. Cancer always bears the name of the place where it originated. Therefore, when mesothelioma in the chest spreads to the spine (or anywhere else), it is still called mesothelioma. It can only be called bone cancer if it has originated from the cells in the bones of the spine. Late stages like stage 3 mesothelioma can be difficult to properly diagnose.

Mesothelioma Testing

The doctor will ask you questions about your health and perform a general physical examination. If the signs point to mesothelioma, more tests will be carried out.

The following tests are some that might be necessary:

Chest x-ray for Mesothelioma: This is often the first test that is done looking for problems with your lungs. If any change is detected, you will need more tests.

Computed tomography scan for Mesothelioma: This study is also known as “CT scan or CAT scan.” It is a special kind of radiography that captures images of the inside of the body. A CT scan may also be used to help perform a biopsy (see information below).

PET scan for Mesothelioma: in this study, you are given a special type of sugar that can be seen inside your body with a camera. If there is cancer, the sugar appears as “radioactive spots” indicating where the cancer is. With this study, the whole body is examined. It can also help if the doctor thinks cancer has spread but does not know where.

Magnetic resonance imaging for Mesothelioma: This study, known in English as MRI, uses radio waves and powerful magnets instead of X-rays to create detailed images. MRIs are very useful for examining soft tissues.

Blood tests for Mesothelioma: Blood tests are not used to discover mesothelioma. Although blood tests can give the doctor more information about your health status.

Biopsies: The doctor removes a small piece of tissue or a small amount of fluid that has accumulated where cancer appears to be. Then it is analyzed to find out if it contains cancer cells. A biopsy is the best way to know for sure if you have cancer. There are many types of biopsies, as well as ways to perform them. Ask your doctor what type of biopsy you will require. Each type of biopsy has advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the type of biopsy to use depends on your case.

First patients injected in UK’s Coronavirus vaccine trial – Rollingpens

The primary human preliminary in Europe of a coronavirus antibody has started in Oxford.

Two volunteers were infused, the first of in excess of 800 individuals enlisted for the examination, the BBC revealed.

Half will get the COVID-19 immunization, and a large portion of a control antibody which ensures against meningitis however not coronavirus.

The structure of the preliminary methods volunteers won’t know which immunization they are getting, however specialists will.

Elisa Granato, one of the two who got the poke, told the BBC: “I’m a researcher, so I needed to attempt to help the logical procedure any place I can.”

The immunization was created in less than a quarter of a year by a group at Oxford University. Sarah Gilbert, teacher of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, drove the pre-clinical research.

“By and by I have a high level of trust in this immunization,” she said.

“Obviously, we need to test it and get information from people. We need to exhibit it really works and stops individuals getting tainted with coronavirus before utilizing the antibody in the more extensive populace.”

Prof Gilbert recently said she was “80% certain” the immunization would work, yet now favors not to put a figure on it, saying just she is “hopeful” about its odds.

The immunization is produced using a debilitated variant of a typical cold infection (known as an adenovirus) from chimpanzees that has been changed so it can’t develop in people.

The Oxford group has just built up an antibody against MERS, another kind of coronavirus, utilizing a similar methodology – and that had promising outcomes in clinical preliminaries.

The main way the group will know whether the COVID-19 immunization works is by looking at the quantity of individuals who get tainted with coronavirus in the months ahead from the two arms of the preliminary.

That could be an issue if cases fall quickly in the UK, on the grounds that there may not be sufficient information.

Prof Andrew Pollard, chief of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who is driving the preliminary, stated: “We’re pursuing the finish of this present pestilence wave. On the off chance that we don’t get that, we won’t have the option to tell whether the immunization works in the following not many months. However, we do expect that there will be more cases later on the grounds that this infection hasn’t left.”

The immunization specialists are organizing the enlistment of neighborhood social insurance laborers into the preliminary as they are more probable than others to be presented to the infection.

A bigger preliminary, of around 5,000 volunteers, will begin in the coming months and will have no age limit.

Big pharma could turn to viruses to boost cancer immunotherapies

Merck & Co’s $394 million acquisition of Viralytics has stoked interest in oncolytic viruses, a class of drugs that have been in the shadow of the checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T therapies that are helping to set the standard of care in cancer.

But Merck’s deal to acquire Viralytics suggests this could be about to change, according to one of the Australian company’s close competitors, Norway’s Targovax.

Representatives of Targovax interviewed by pharmaphorum said the marketplace is set to get increasingly crowded in the future as pharma tries to use the approach to improve efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors.

There is only one FDA-approved oncolytic virus, Amgen’s Imlygic (talimogene laherparepvec) in 2015, but sales have been disappointing.

But with another 10 oncolytic viruses in clinical development, and another 40 in labs, the hope is that oncolytic viruses could be used to ‘prime’ tumours before treatment with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, which has a response rate as low as 20% in some cancers.

Oncolytic viruses work by injecting genetic material into cancer cells, which modify them and make them visible to the immune system, which moves in to destroy the.

The issue with Imlygic is that it is approved as a monotherapy – and the thinking is that oncolytic viruses are likely to be more effective when used in combination with other drugs, notably immunotherapy drugs such as checkpoint inhibitors.

This is the approach taken by Viralytics, and by Targovax, which is looking to find partners as it progresses its two oncolytic viruses through the clinical trial process.

Now that Viralytics is effectively part of Merck & Co, this leaves Targovax as one of the most advanced independent biotechs working with oncolytic viruses.

Bristol-Myers Squibb has also done a big oncolytic virus deal, acquiring rights late last year to an “armed virus” targeting cancer from the UK biotech, PsiOxus Therapeutics, worth almost $900 million if the project is successful.

Merck deal ‘no suprise’

Targovax’s chief medical officer, Magnus Jaderberg, told pharmaphorum in an interview that the Viralytics deal came as no surprise following strong phase 2 results from its Cavatak, based on the Coxsackievirus, back in 2015.

Magnus Jaderberg

Jaderberg said: “As soon as they released the data we felt that somebody would go after them and we were right. We were not surprised about the deal and we think it is very positive for us.”

He expects more interest in oncolytic viruses from Roche and Genentech, which so far have not done a big oncolytic virus deal, perhaps to boost their immunotherapy Tecentriq, which has produced some mixed results in trials.

Already partnered with Medimmune on one deal, Targovax is planning a phase 2 trial of its adenovirus-based drug TG01, targeting resected pancreatic cancer in combination with Merck’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab).

This could be extended to a phase 3 trial leading to registration in this disease, where there has been no significant progress for the best part of two decades CHECK.

Targeting RAS mutations, the drug could be used in 30% of all cancers that express this biomarker, suggesting a sales potential well in excess of the $400 million a year the company forecasts if approved in early pancreatic cancer.

Also in the Targovax pipeline is ONCOS-102, an oncolytic virus, which is in phase 1b/2 trials for mesothelioma and could produce an early readout in the coming weeks.

It is also developing ONCOS-102 in partnership with AstraZeneca’s MedImmune unit and the Cancer Research Institute for ovarian and colorectal cancer.

Jaderberg has been busy tapping up his contacts in big pharma having previously worked as chief medical officer for Bristol Myers Squibb in Europe.

He has already been in talks with manufacturers of checkpoint inhibitors to try and get licensing deals in place to fund further development.

Wiklund said: “It is tough as a small biotech to lift a phase 3 programme – it is obvious we are interested in licensing out one or both of our programmes.”

But Targovax’s CFO Erik Digman Wiklund was cagey about the prospects of a big buyout as seen in the case of Viralytics. “It is incredibly unpredictable, it is difficult to make any comment,” he said.
