A recent study was done and reported on by the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology. The report stated that when Mesothelioma cells are under immense stress from heat they respond by increasing production of heat-shock proteins that save them from death. Researchers have now discovered that suppressing the release of these heat-shock proteins in the Mesothelioma cancer cells can improve the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic treatments.

While there is no cure for Mesothelioma at the current time, this treatment option seems more and more like it will be a success in the coming years.
