Your Patient Roadmap

What to Expect After a Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Patients diagnosed with mesothelioma find themselves at the beginning of a journey. Because of the rarity of the disease and the developing nature of the treatments, it is a journey that will take them on sparsely-traveled, out of the way back-roads. The kind of roads that are often difficult to navigate. Difficult, that is, unless you have a good road map. 

The Pacific Meso Center has assembled a new brochure entitled: "Mesothelioma: A Patient’s Road Map" to help mesothelioma patients navigate the many roads before them on their journey to proper diagnosis, treatment and coping with their disease. 

The Pacific Meso Center is a division of the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute ("PHLBI") which is dedicated to meaningful advancements in the treatment and prevention of mesothelioma. PHLBI is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit institution founded in 2002 by Roger Worthington and Dr. Robert Cameron, head of the Mesothelioma Program at UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Cameron serves as the Pacific Meso Center's Scientific Advisor and is the innovator of the lung-saving pleurectomy decortication procedure for pleural mesothelioma.
