Study of Mesothelioma Victims Underscores Disease's Devastating Impact, New ...

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 30, 2011

A new study that will look at how mesothelioma affects patients’ emotional and physical well-being could provide a more complete picture of the disease’s toll on victims and families, New York mesothelioma attorney Joseph W. Belluck said today.

New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center announced last week that it is conducting an investigation into how mesothelioma patients cope with the deadly disease in hopes of devising ways to reduce their psychological and physical strains.

“During the years I’ve spent fighting for the legal rights of people who contracted mesothelioma from asbestos exposure, I’ve seen what a crushing effect the disease can have both on the victims and their loved ones,” said Belluck, a New York asbestos exposure attorney and partner of Belluck & Fox, LLP.

Mesothelioma is an aggressive asbestos-related cancer that affects the lining of the lungs. The disease doesn’t respond to many standard cancer treatments, and victims usually face a dire prognosis — often living only 4-18 months after diagnosis.

Many victims of mesothelioma contracted the disease because they were exposed to workplace asbestos , according to Belluck.

“As you might expect, patients often react to the grim news of a mesothelioma diagnosis by becoming depressed and overwhelmed at the weight of it all,” the New York lawyer said. “The same is true for their loved ones and families.”

The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center study is entitled “Mesothelioma from a Patient Perspective: A Survey of Psychosocial Needs and Exploration of Online Support for Patients.” One of its aims is to evaluate the possibility of developing ways of delivering emotional support to mesothelioma patients over the Internet.

Belluck, the New York mesothelioma lawyer, said he welcomed any developments that could improve the quality of life for the roughly 3,000 Americans who are diagnosed with mesothelioma every year.

“This asbestos-related disease clearly is emotionally devastating for its victims, but the economic impact is also very significant when it comes to expensive treatments and lost wages,” Belluck said. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is in the process of recruiting mesothelioma patients to take part in the study, which is scheduled to wrap up in May 2013.
