A top goal for UChicago Medicine physicians-scientists is to identify and develop treatment regimens that improve the quality of life for people with mesothelioma.
In the past, most cancer science focused on common forms of the disease. However, as we learn more about how existing cancer treatments can precisely target mesothelioma cells in laboratory testing, more mesothelioma patients are being included in clinical cancer trials.
Patients receiving mesothelioma treatment at UChicago Medicine can access many national cancer trials. Your doctors can help you determine if a mesothelioma clinical trial is right for you.
