What Are the Benefits of Multidisciplinary Treatment for Mesothelioma?

[MUSIC PLAYING] Mesothelioma is a rare cancer, and its treatment is quite tricky and complex and requires sometimes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. And therefore, it'd be best that we have mesothelioma specialists from various disciplines, so thoracic surgeons who specialize in mesothelioma treatments, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists who all work together under one roof as a team in order to see the patient as a team, discuss them at a meeting that we usually have once a week called The Tumor Board. And that's what major mesothelioma centers offer-- different specialists from different disciplines all working, taking care of one patient. [MUSIC PLAYING]
