Asbestos is a toxic mineral seen in many materials like electrical insulation, ceiling tiles, flooring tiles, sprayed-on plaster for sound-proofing or ornamental walls or ceilings, and lots of others. Asbestos dust particles are incredibly small and after becoming airborne may be breathed deeply into the lungs. As soon as the body's immune system cells attempt to break down the dust particles lodged inside the lungs the immune system cells die....more

Men frequently possess a poor comprehension of prostate cancer, their own risk for the cancer, and the methods available for detecting whether they have prostate cancer. Many men have little, if any, understanding of the value of screening for prostate cancer or of the guidelines for when they should commence testing, how frequently to screen, and the meaning of screening test results. Regrettably doctors sometimes fail to screen male patients or wait too long prior to ordering diagnostic testing subsequent to an abnormal result from a screening test.There are several various factors that can result in a delayed diagnosis. One common type of medical error that forms the basis for these cases comes about when the male patient's primary care physician (1) orders a PSA blood test, (2) notices abnormally high levels of PSA and but (3) neither tells the patient about the abnormal results (and what they indicate) nor orders diagnostic tests, such as a biopsy, to rule out prostate cancer. The case below is an example of this problem.A doctor, an internist, discovered that his male patient had a PSA of 8. (a level above a 4.0 is generally thought to be high). The doctor did not tell the...more

Surgery for lung cancer (LC) was once performed exclusively through thoracotomy. A long incision was made into the patient's chest. Then, the ribs were either cut and removed, or spread apart to provide the surgeon with enough working space within the chest cavity. This was the approach taken for wedge resections (removal of a portion of the tissue) lobectomies (removal of a lobe), and pneumonectomies (removal of an entire lung).Minimally invasive techniques that preclude spreading the ribs are being used with more regularity. There is less scarring involved because the incisions are smaller, and less postoperative pain because the procedure is less traumatic. Blood loss can usually be kept to a minimum, which means there is far less chance of excessive bleeding.Below, we'll explain what types of LC are addressed with a minimally invasive approach. You'll also learn about the tests that are performed prior to the operation, and what to expect during your recovery.Eligibility For Minimally Invasive Lung Cancer SurgeryA minimally invasive strategy is only used for early stage lung cancer. In Stage I, the cancerous cells are still confined to the lung. That allows the surgeon to...more
