Anti-asbestos drug Anakinra can prevent harmful effects

Anakinra has been discovered as a drug that may protect people from the harmful effects of inhaling asbestos fibers.

The use of asbestos half a century ago has triggered an epidemic that will kill 200,000 people in Britain through lung cancer and mesothelioma, an untreatable cancer of the mesothelium, a thin membrane that lines the chest.

Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
