Pleural Mesothelioma Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of asbestos-related cancer. Though it’s an aggressive illness, ongoing advancements in chemotherapy, surgery and clinical trials are extending patients' lives years beyond their life expectancy.
Countless veterans are suffering from mesothelioma due to their exposure to asbestos during their service. The Pleural Mesothelioma Center's mission is to help those affected with pleural mesothelioma cancer by offering free assistance and resources to those coping with this disease and their families. These free resources include 1-1 consultation with patient advocates who are there to answer any and all medical questions, help find doctors and treatment centers, and assist with navigating the VA claims process.
