What Is Asbestos.com’s Network of Mesothelioma Specialists?

You and your loved ones may be asking yourselves urgent questions about mesothelioma treatment: Who’s the best doctor for this disease? Which cancer center offers the best care? How do we manage travel, insurance and appointments during treatment?

At Asbestos.com, we not only answer those questions but offer you relief by connecting you to our network of more than 500 nationwide mesothelioma doctors, including surgeons and oncologists, and more than 100 cancer centers across the U.S. We’ll even schedule your appointments faster than you could on your own.

Our Patient Advocate team works with this ever-expanding network to get patients the specialists who best understand mesothelioma and its treatment options. Those relationships also keep our team current with the medical community’s latest developments.

So when you call us, our Patient Advocates know which clinical trials are actively enrolling, which emerging treatments specialists are discussing and which doctors have the most hands-on experience with your specific diagnosis. That means we’re not pointing you toward a name on a list – we’re connecting you to the right specialist for your care.

More Than a List of Doctors

The Mesothelioma Center at Asbestos.com is not a hospital system, health care provider, insurer or doctor directory. The support we provide patients and their families goes far beyond a list of doctors and hospitals.

Our Patient Advocates will talk with you, learn about your situation and needs, and help you understand possible next steps. They may ask about your diagnosis, mesothelioma type, treatment history, location, travel range, treatment goals, insurance questions, military service and whether you are looking for a first appointment or a second opinion.

That information helps us provide you with more curated recommendations. Instead of handing you a list of doctors, we use our exclusive Doctor Match Program to find and connect you with the best possible specialist and cancer center for your diagnosis, while accounting for your travel capacity. 

How the Doctor Match Program Works

The Doctor Match Program at The Mesothelioma Center at Asbestos.com makes finding mesothelioma treatment easier and more manageable than researching on your own, and it’s free.

When you contact us, we can help you:

  • Understand why mesothelioma specialists’ experience matters.
  • Learn about doctors and cancer centers that treat mesothelioma.
  • Get an appointment with the right doctor for your diagnosis.
  • Explore whether a second opinion may be worth discussing with your care team.
  • Understand how your diagnosis, treatment goals and travel options may affect care options.
  • Learn about clinical trials or emerging treatments.
  • Prepare questions for upcoming appointments.
  • Get access to our free guides and educational resources.

Because every patient and their needs are unique, we don’t give people the same answer. The goal is to help you understand the options and resources that may fit your situation.
