Mesothelioma Events

Receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis can be overwhelming for patients and their loved ones. During Mental Health Month, we aim to remind people of mental health support resources available during this difficult time.

The AACR acknowledges May as National Cancer Research Month in recognition of high-quality, innovative cancer research. With mesothelioma being such a rare cancer, research plays a huge role in supporting new treatments for mesothelioma patients.

Historically, mesothelioma cancer mostly affects older men previously exposed to asbestos when serving in the military or working certain blue-collar jobs. However, women now make up nearly one-fourth of all cases, showing the gender gap is closing. Support the health of all women in their battle with mesothelioma. This National Women's Health Week, we want to help you take control of your health.
