Clinical Trials in New York

Clinical trials are often a mainstream option for mesothelioma — not a last resort. NCI-designated centers screen patients for eligibility, and current studies enrolling near you are listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, the U.S. government registry, which updates continuously. Ask your oncologist which trials fit your case.

Choosing a Mesothelioma Specialist

  • How many mesothelioma cases does the program treat each year?
  • Do they offer pleurectomy/decortication (P/D), EPP, and HIPEC, and what clinical trials are open?
  • Will a multidisciplinary team review the case together?
  • Is a second opinion at a high-volume program available? (It is standard and rarely delays care.)

Today’s specialists build on generations of research and surgical innovation — see the pioneers who shaped mesothelioma medicine.
