A recent health study conducted in the United Kingdom indicates a vital need for mesothelioma lung cancer specialist nurses, reported the Evening Chronicle on May 5, 2008.

According to the Chronicle, key findings of the research involved lung cancer and its relationship to exposure to asbestos, which was used in the steel and shipping industries when these were some of the major employers in County Durham.

Mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs, also caused by asbestos, is more prevalent in the County Durham area, said the newspaper report, adding that in 2007, 198 people in north Durham were diagnosed with lung cancer.
