built 606 days ago

That means researchers must give you full details about all of the treatments, tests, possible benefits and potential risks. Once you choose to participate, you will be asked to sign an informed consent form.

The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF) lists mesothelioma clinical trials on their site. Once you find a trial on one of these web sites that seems like it might be beneficial, you should call the center where it's being conducted to find out as much as you can about the risks, potential benefits, eligibility requirements, and costs and then discuss the suitability of the trial with your medical team and your family or close friends. If they have other questions you didn't think of, call back and ask the center conducting the test.
