Philadelphia Mesothelioma Lawyers Report On Mesothelioma Cases In UK

According to a new study conducted by England’s National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN), rare cancers such as mesothelioma make up more than 50% of the cancer-related fatalities in the United Kingdom.  The new report from Cancer52 reveals that 2,500 mesothelioma cases are diagnosed in the UK annually.  Moreover, in 2011 there were 2,009 fatalities from mesothelioma in Great Britain, UK.  Study data also reports that industrial and construction workers exposed to asbestos at work are most frequently diagnosed with mesothelioma.

The NCIN study highlights the unique challenges in treating and managing a disease such as mesothelioma.   Because mesothelioma is such a rare form of cancer, there is a high risk of delayed or missed diagnosis.  Moreover, mesothelioma and other rare cancers are difficult to treat successfully.

According to the Cancer52 research, other factors that contribute to the difficulty in managing and treating asbestos-related and rare cancers include:

  • Less funding for research.
  • Healthcare professionals missing typical symptoms or signs of the disease.
  • Fewer treatment options are developed.
  • Less opportunity for newer, cutting-edge treatment therapies.
  • Lower income people are not successfully treated for mesothelioma
