Press Coverage

How We Can Help the Media

For more than a decade, Asbestos.com has built a strong knowledge base thanks to interviewing and writing about hundreds of cancer survivors, caregivers, medical specialists, researchers and others in the mesothelioma community.

We also have close relationships with many prominent cancer centers and mesothelioma specialists, including Drs. Paul Sugarbaker, Rodney Landreneau, Robert Cameron, Abraham Lebenthal, Jacques Fontaine and many others across the U.S.

Because of that deep knowledge, our writers, researchers and medical experts can provide journalists and other members of the media with the following:

• Quotes for news stories
• Interviews (print, radio, television and podcasts)
• Contributed content
• Images for use in news stories
