Developing accurate, minimally invasive tests to detect cancer at the earliest possible stage is a priority for medical research. Many new articles are published each year on studies assessing the reliability of new tests and treatments. The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (Meso Foundation) is dedicated to informing patients and their families about the latest research on tests and treatments for mesothelioma. If you ask your doctor, they will be able to tell you about how much cancer treatment has evolved since they started practicing medicine. Researchers are constantly looking for new applications for existing tests, ways to improve on current testing and treatment protocols, and even entirely new therapies.
