There are trials for asbestos-related diseases like asbestosis and mesothelioma, which are sponsored by the Community Clinical Oncology Programs, the National Cancer Institute or different research programs. Some of the most recent trials are based on gene therapy and immunotherapy.
These experimental studies help scientists find better ways to treat patients. Trials provide support to patients and medication that is yet unavailable for the rest of the sufferers. However, patients should discuss all the possible risks with the trials’ coordinator before they decide to join.
We wanted a resource where people who are looking for better help can find it, because one of the issues that I have found is that the diagnosis takes a little bit, some people don’t know if they are diagnosed or not. This is something that it is important enough, that is why I wanted to put the information together.
