Researchers at Oxford University have developed a test that may diagnose mesothelioma more effectively. Dr. Helen Davies worked on the research and claims it may be a way for medical providers to diagnose cases of mesothelioma earlier. This could benefit the mesothelioma community in several ways: medical providers may be able to diagnose earlier and begin appropriate treatment, victims may experience better quality of life and increased life expectancy, and claims for worker’s compensation may begin earlier.

1Glad to see that Oxford are actually doing something useful. Many people die from mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. Meanwhile the main issue is that here in europe, not enough people are aware of this disease. But its good to see that Oxford and students are working on it, to find solutions to detect the mesothelioma disease and to find mesothelioma treatments.
