A recent death in the United Kingdom reminds us that mesothelioma remains a concern for everyone, not just those subjected to long-term asbestos exposure.

Josephine Dutton, aged 59, died of mesothelioma though she experienced no known asbestos contact.  She worked in the textile industry and her husband had not been exposed to asbestos either.  In a postmortem examination of the body, doctors failed to find asbestos fibers.

This mysterious case indicates the need for heightened mesothelioma research and the development of more effective treatments.  The disease is unpredictable and strikes even unlikely victims.  For the full story, visit this site.  To stay updated on the latest research or to make a donation towards curing mesothelioma, visit the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.
