Why Is It Important to See a Mesothelioma Specialist?
Medical Outreach Director Missy Miller emphasizes the importance of seeing a mesothelioma specialist due to the rarity of the cancer and the specialized knowledge required for treatment.
It's very important to see a mesothelioma specialist. The reason being is this cancer is extremely rare, so not a lot of doctors have ever seen it in their entire time of practicing medicine. By going to somebody who actually specializes in it, they actually have a clinical interest in the disease itself. So they properly know how to treat it, and they can come up with different, plans of treatment using a multidisciplinary approach to attack it through surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, or any clinical trials that are out there that are available for the patient.
