Clinical trials are often a mainstream option for mesothelioma, not a last resort. Current studies are listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, the U.S. government registry, which updates continuously — ask your oncologist which trials fit your case.
If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease after exposure at a Independence-area workplace, the exposure history above matters medically as well as legally — tell your care team where and when you worked.
