Pleural Mesothelioma

A groundbreaking 2025 study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology may change how pleural mesothelioma is treated. The updated ASCO clinical practice guidelines refine recommendations for surgery, systemic treatments, and genetic testing—aiming to improve survival and personalize treatment options for patients.

Mesothelioma and lung cancer may have similar symptoms, but they are distinct diseases.

Both can be caused by asbestos exposure, leaving those affected with serious health challenges. Learn about the unique risks, symptoms, and your options for seeking compensation with Madeksho Law.
