Learn about the three Mesothelioma Subtypes!

Epithelioid mesothelioma is the most common cell type. Epithelioid cells tend to lack uniformity and may form small tubes or clusters. Epithelioid mesothelioma is usually more responsive to treatment than other subtypes, even after metastatic mesothelioma has occurred.

The non-eipthelioid subtypes are sarcomatoid and biphasic. Sarcomatoid cells are the least common but most aggressive mesothelioma subtype. Biphasic mesothelioma contains both epithelioid and sarcomatoid cells in the same tumor.

NEW FDA BLACK BOXED WARNING ABOUT AMPUTATION RISK


The Food and Drug and Administration (FDA) issued a black boxed warning, the most serious type of warning the FDA issues, for users of the highly prescribed type 2 diabetes drug, Invokana.

​

After clinical trials were completed, the FDA confirmed that Invokana and Invokamet (canagliflozin) caused an increased risk of leg and foot amputations in patients. Invokamet is similar to Invokana, but it contains metformin, another drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, whereas Invokana only contains canagliflozin.



There is some indication that the vaccination is linked to death. NCIV analysis indicates that there were more than 1,100 serious adverse events reports made to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System from 1990 until September 2015 related to shingles-containing vaccinations. Of these reports, 90 were for deaths associated with the shingles vaccine.



Both chickenpox and shingles may result in serious damage to the nervous system including conditions like meningitis, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and stroke. Some people who develop shingles have serious side effects, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, congestive heart failure, or varicella pneumonia.
