Mesothelioma Information Center
Each year in the United States, approximately 2000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma. The most important risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos.
Although long-term survival with mesothelioma remains poor, researchers continue to explore new approaches to treatment. In addition, advances in supportive care have made mesothelioma treatment more tolerable, leading to improved quality of life.
Understanding mesothelioma treatment options, the role of different doctors specializing in the treatment of mesothelioma, and how and when to access new and innovative mesothelioma treatment options available through clinical trials is essential in order to achieve the best outcome from mesothelioma treatment.
The Cancer Consultants Mesothelioma Information Center has been designed to help patients understand mesothelioma and mesothelioma treatment options while providing ongoing information, inspiration, support, and community to individuals affected by a diagnosis of mesothelioma.
