It is my belief that mesothelioma is definitely the most deadly cancer. It has unusual traits. The more I look at it the harder I am persuaded it does not react like a true solid human cancer. In case mesothelioma is a rogue virus-like infection, therefore there is the prospects for developing a vaccine as well as offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are open to high risk regarding developing potential asbestos related malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas on this important health issue.
