MesoTV | Discussion about NIH natural history study of patients with malignant mesothelioma

Dr. Raffit Hassan of the National Cancer Institute joins us for a conversation about his study called "Tissue Procurement and Natural History Study of Patients With Malignant Mesothelioma" that collects information from mesothelioma patients and their families in order to study their disease and risk for other cancers. Dr. Hassan looks to answer certain questions such as "why do certain patients do better than others?"

The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation developed MesoTV in response to the need to cancel our annual International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma. In our first season we covered a number of topics, many focused on the immediate effects of Covid-19 on mesothelioma treatment. In our second season and beyond, we focus on more traditional topics such as advances in treatment, mesothelioma science, the patient and caregiver experience and quality of life. The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation is the only nonprofit charity organization dedicated to ending mesothelioma, and the suffering caused by this cancer, by: funding research to improve treatment options; providing treatment support and education for patients and their families; and advocating for federal funding of research.
