Patient Support
and Resources
A mesothelioma diagnosis can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are a mesothelioma patient, caregiver, friend or family member of a patient, a mesothelioma diagnosis brings with it many challenges. Here, we provide you with important and accurate information and immediate answers to your questions. If at any point you require assistance or need more information, please call (877) 363-6376. You can also complete this form to be contacted by our experts.
Speak with a mesothelioma expert
Finding the right mesothelioma expert can be complicated. Allow us to provide you with the specialist referral that is best for you. The ideal specialist will depend on your location, goals and specific type of mesothelioma (pleural vs. peritoneal, operable vs. non-operable, epithelioid vs. sarcomatoid), but don’t worry, we will cover that with you.
Get Help Selecting a Clinical Trial
Our strength as an organization is the ability to advise and help you to navigate all of your clinical trials options without bias or allegiance to any particular doctor or institution. An educated patient is best able to make these decisions when presented with the information in a clear and concise manner without undue pressure or commercial bias.
Travel Grant Program
We provide financial assistance to help patients consult with mesothelioma specialists or enroll in clinical trials away from home. Learn if you qualify for our Travel Grant Program.
MesoTV
Watch interviews with mesothelioma experts across the world as they discuss treatment options, clinical trials, results from clinical trials that have concluded, the present and future of mesothelioma treatment.
Participate in support groups online or by phone
We host professionally-moderated Zoom support groups and online support groups for patients, caregivers, and our bereaved community. During our annual conference, we also host in person support groups. Joining a group is easy, but does require a brief interaction with our team.
International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma
The Meso Foundation’s International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma is a unique conference that brings together the entire mesothelioma community. We invite patients, their families, caregivers, and the bereaved community, to learn about the latest in treatment options, speak face-to-face with top mesothelioma experts, and find community and support with others.
Peer to peer support
Especially when first diagnosed with mesothelioma, many patients feel isolated. For this reason, the Meso Foundation has developed its Peer-to-Peer Support Program. Through this program, we identify and connect you with members of our mesothelioma community who “have been there, and have done that.”
Meet the Mesothelioma Experts
As part of the Meet the Mesothelioma Experts (MTME) series, the Meso Foundation invites specialists in the field of mesothelioma to discuss their current research interests as well as promising developments in the treatment of mesothelioma.
