For the past 30 years, Jack Clapper, founding attorney for Clapper Patti Schweizer & Mason, has been exclusively representing clients suffering from a particularly rare and fatal type of lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure called malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). To date, standard treatments for this type of lung cancer have not been very effective and there is no cure- many diagnosed do not survive the year.

Like all the partners at the firm, Clapper searches for ways to participate in fundraisers that support studies exploring better treatments for mesothelioma and other types of lung cancer. The next local fundraiser is the Porsche Race Car Classic held at Quail Lodge in Carmel, CA this coming Sunday, October 16, 2011. All net proceeds from the ticket sales to this event will go directly to the UCSF Thoracic Oncology Program and the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation.

Lung cancer statistics are staggering, and the need for on-going research crucial. Lung cancer is the leading cause of all other cancer deaths (more than breast, prostate, colon, liver, melanoma and kidney cancers combined) and yet receives the least amount of funding. Nearly twenty people in the United States die each hour from lung cancer, and approximately 3,000 people each year are diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a global cancer and current concern due to the historical widespread use of asbestos containing materials, long latency period between time of exposure and development of symptoms, and continued use in less developed parts of the world.

The UCSF Thoracic Oncology Program has doctors who specialize in mesothelioma treatment, beginning with goal of finding ways to diagnose the cancer in early stages. One particular area being studied by V. Courtney Broaddus, MD, Professor in the Department of Medicine and Associate Director of the Lung Biology Center at UCSF, is how apoptosis, the process of cell death, can be used to slow or stop the progression of mesothelioma tumor growth. The Thoracic Oncology Program at UCSF is dedicated to conquering lung cancer and provided the highest of patient care and treatment.

The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation also has the mission of raising awareness and money for lung cancer research, connecting leaders in the field, scientists, researchers and physicians worldwide with the goal of finding better treatment options. They support all efforts to find ways to survival rates through early detection, genetic testing, and drug discovery.

Join with CPSM and the other expected 3,500 guests in the fight against mesothelioma and all types of lung cancer. Come enjoy beautiful Carmel, view classic Porsche cars, hear the history of Porsche racing direct from the drivers themselves, sample local gourmet food and wines all with the collective intention of improving the outcomes of those at risk of and/or diagnosed with lung cancer and helping save lives.

After receiving the most votes in the campaigns poll, St. Jude is now set to receive the entire sum raised during the course of the drive.

We really couldnt be happier to have St. Jude selected to receive the funding, said a representative of the campaign.

Social media heavyweights, including television celebrities, professional athletes, and other research organizations with large followings of their own, helped propel the drive along the way.

The Mesothelioma Victims Center is the premier advocate for mesothelioma victims in the United States. The Mesothelioma Victims Center is the only group, or organization that will offer an individual, or family dealing with a mesothelioma cancer diagnosis the names, and specific contacts of the most competent, and successful mesothelioma attorneys, or trial law firms in the nation. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, “If an individual, or family is trying to figure out what to do after a mesothelioma diagnosis, we should be the first call they make. Aside from providing the family with the specific contacts for the best, and brightest mesothelioma attorneys in the United States, we also offer numerous other free services. One of our most popular free service is a personalized mesothelioma treatment options report, that includes the specific names, and contacts of the best oncology cancer treatment groups in the specific area of the victim. We will also work closely with family members to educate them as to how to best take care of their loved one, who is dealing with mesothelioma. Again, no other group offers these types of free services. Individuals, or family members dealing with the what to do after a mesothelioma diagnosis can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.” http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Why does the Mesothelioma Victims Center mention US Navy Veterans so frequently in its press releases? The group says, “This year between 2000 & 3000 US citizens will be diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma. Of this group, about one third will be US Navy Veterans. The reason our group is so passionate about mesothelioma is because we lost a close loved one to mesothelioma, who was also a US Navy Veteran.” http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Aside from US Navy Veterans, other high risk groups for mesothelioma cancer include shipyard, power plant, or oil refinery workers, plumbers, electricians, county, or city municipal water district workers, miners, demolition construction contractors, railroad workers, or auto brake technicians. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, “You do not need to be a US Navy Veteran to take advantage of our free service. We encourage anyone in the US to call us if they, or their family are dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis.” They say, “One thing we really want families to understand is mesothelioma cancer does not typically show up until the Navy Veteran or US citizen is in their 60′s, and more often than not their 70′s, or 80′s. Frequently mesothelioma is diagnosed three, four, or even five decades after the exposure to asbestos.” http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Mass torts law firm Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. recently obtained a substantial settlement for a client in an asbestos case. The man was exposed to the deadly substance from the 1950s to the 1980s while serving in the Navy aboard the USS California and later working as a journeyman electrician in the Rochester, NY area.

The man was diagnosed with mesothelioma in January 2010. He died little more than one year later, in April, 2011.

Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys Michael Fanelli and John Richmond represented the Navy veteran in an action against numerous makers of pumps, valves, turbines, joint compound, and floor tile all products employing asbestos in their manufacture. The case was filed in Rochester [index number 2010-003487, Monroe Country Supreme Court].

At trial, several expert witnesses testified on behalf of the plaintiff, whose lengthy, tragedy-filled deposition was read to the jury. Weitz & Luxenbergs trial team presented numerous corporate liability documents along with a day-in-the-life video depicting the plaintiffs pain and suffering brought about by mesothelioma.

All but one of the manufacturers settled prior to the presentation of the plaintiffs case. The lone holdout agreed to settle after hearing the plaintiffs evidence.

Mesothelioma is an unusually aggressive lung cancer that most commonly develops following prolonged exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma victims typically have a life expectancy of six months to one year after being diagnosed with the disease.

This was a difficult case, as the client was extremely sick during his deposition, Fanelli said, However, using his videotaped deposition and the depositions of his co-workers, we were able to show that he was exposed to asbestos throughout his career as an electrician and during his service in the Navy.

The settlement award passes to the clients estate following his April death.

The law firm of Hissey Kientz, LLP is announcing the launch of its new website, Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit (http://www.transvaginalmeshpatchlawsuit.com/). The site will serve as a source for legal news and medical information for patients who have experienced complications caused by surgical mesh used in transvaginal repair surgery.

Transvaginal mesh is a type of surgical mesh device which is used for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinent (SUI). Versions of the patch are manufactured by several different companies, including Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific and American Medical Systems (AMS). According to the Food and Drug Administration, about 80% of surgeries for SUI and 25% of surgeries for POP are performed using transvaginal mesh.

The FDA has issued several warnings about the risk of complications from transvaginal mesh. In September 2011, an FDA advisory committee recommended that the product should be given a stronger warning label due to the risk of side effects from the device. The committee was charged with reviewing the safety of transvaginal mesh after the FDA learned that reports of complications from the device had a five-fold increase compared to the previous three year period.

According to FDA data, the most frequently reported complication of transvaginal mesh is vaginal mesh erosionin which the skin tissue becomes split, allowing mesh to protrude into the vagina. Other commonly reported side effects of surgical mesh include pain, bleeding, infection, pain during sex, urinary problems and organ perforation.

A number of patients who received transvaginal mesh to treat POP or SUI have required additional surgeries to correct problems with the device or to have it removed entirely. A total of at least 600 transvaginal mesh lawsuits have already been filed by patients who experienced severe pain or other complications from surgical mesh, according to Bloomberg News.

If you or a loved one received transvaginal mesh for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse and have experienced severe pain or other complications from the device, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. For a free legal consultation, contact the lawyers at Hissey Kientz, LLP by calling toll-free at 1-866-275-4454, or by emailing us at info(at)hkllp(dot)com.

More Mesothelioma Types Press Releases

New York City mesothelioma lawyer Joseph W. Belluck today expressed outrage over a report that Canadian lobbyists defeated a mid-1980s effort by the United States to ban asbestos, resulting in the importation of an additional 300,000 tons of Canadian asbestos into the country.

The disregard for human health in the name of profits demonstrated by this report is absolutely astonishing, said Belluck, a partner in the New York City personal injury law firm of Belluck & Fox, LLP.

Belluck, a nationally recognized attorney whose practice focuses on asbestos-exposure and mesothelioma litigation, said that 2,500 to 4,000 Americans are diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases every year.

According to this report, by the 1980s there was no debate whatsoever about the danger posed by asbestos exposure, yet officials in both the Canadian and U.S. governments turned a collective blind eye to the potential harm they were content to bring to untold thousands of Americans, Belluck said.

The International Ban Asbestos Secretariat(IBAS) revealed the Canadian lobbying effort in a mid-October report based on documents obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Canadian sources.

The IBAS 5,800-word report explains how multiple Canadian officials, up to and including then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and asbestos-industry representatives lobbied the Reagan administration over several years before succeeding in October 1991 in overturning the U.S. Asbestos Ban and Phase-out Rule (ABPR).

The ban, in effect since 1989, had introduced prohibitions on the import, processing, manufacture and distribution of asbestos products in three stages over 10 years.

In the vacuum left by the demise of the ABPR, a further 300,000+ tons of asbestos fiber was used, most sourced from Canadian mines, and vast amounts of asbestos-containing construction products, friction materials and assorted other asbestos-containing items were incorporated into the U.S. infrastructure, the IBAS said.

Asbestos is a heat-resistant fibrous material used in a variety of industrial, construction and consumer products, though it has been identified as a carcinogen since the 1920s. Asbestos fibers easily break down when disturbed, and if inhaled can result in mesothelioma, asbestosis and other diseases, which are usually fatal.

Victims of asbestos-related disease are most often those who had long-term contact with the carcinogen in an industrial or manufacturing job, though even a single exposure to asbestos from a consumer product can be harmful, according to Belluck.

Besides the physical tragedy of mesothelioma and other diseases caused by asbestos exposure, there is a terrible expense around each of these cases in not only medical bills, but loss of work and loss of production, which itself is a terrible cost to American industry, Belluck said.

The U.S. continues to allow asbestos in infrastructure and consumer products, which is a practice that must stop, Belluck said. The U.S. continues to import asbestos-containing products from Canada, which is another practice that must be stopped.

Victims of respiratory problems like mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer who think their disease is the result of an exposure to asbestos may be eligible to file claims or lawsuits for compensation from the parties responsible for their disease, Belluck said.

Pressure from those who have been harmed by asbestos exposure is a viable weapon against those who would profit from this deadly product, he said.

In addition to protecting the rights of mesothelioma victims and obtaining for them the compensation they deserve, we at Belluck & Fox, LLP, are dedicated to pursuing mesothelioma and asbestos-exposure lawsuits as a means to hold responsible those who manufacture, distribute, supply and/or install asbestos-containing materials or products.

Belluck & Fox, LLP, is a nationally recognized law firm that represents individuals with asbestos and mesothelioma claims, as well as victims of crime, motorcycle crashes, lead paint and other serious injuries.
