Research and clinical trials for mesothelioma

All cancer treatments have to be fully researched before everyone can use them. This is so we know that they work and are better than the treatments already available. And that they are safe. 

Researchers around the world are looking into the diagnosis and treatment of mesothelioma.

Go to Cancer Research UK’s clinical trials database if you are looking for a trial for mesothelioma in the UK. You need to talk to your specialist if there are any trials that you think you might be able to take part in.
