Scientists at the University of Western Australia have announced that they have discovered a combination of three mesothelioma drugs that target immune system proteins has the power to knock out mesothelioma in mice.
According to Shruti Krishnan, lead author of the study at the UWA School of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, the three drugs with triple immunotherapy protocol produced complete clearance of established mesothelioma tumors in the mice. It appears to make little difference whether the drugs were administered one at a time or all at the same time.
The new research is published in the Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research and whilst it is thought it could work for many different types of cancer, the fact that it worked in mesothelioma is an exciting discovery as mesothelioma traditionally appears to have a limited range of treatment options.
