Netherlands Cancer Institute Tests New Mesothelioma Therapy
Research for a new type of mesothelioma treatment is underway at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Scientists are exploring a novel combination of existing medications for patients with BAP1 genetic mutations.
More than half of all mesothelioma patients show alterations in the BAP1 tumor-suppressor gene. An altered BAP1 gene allows for vulnerabilities that make specific treatments more effective. The combination treatment led to about a four-week increase in median survival.
Researchers have previously only explored the combination of zoledronic acid and tazemetostat in single cells and animal models. This late...
