Mesothelioma Fast-Track

Mesothelioma is a largely unknown disease affecting almost 2000 people every year in the UK. Malignant Mesothelioma is a form of cancer affecting the pleura surrounding the lungs, abdomen, heart and other organs. In the majority of cases, Mesothelioma can be attributed directly to asbestos exposure. 

Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose as normal tests used for lung disease often prove negative for Mesothelioma. It is vital therefore that yourself and your family receive advice and guidance from experienced specialists in this field. For further information, please contact us on 0800 043 6635.
