According to mesothelioma specialist and oncologist Dr Anne Tsao, patients who do not receive health care from major medical centers with mesothelioma specialties are shortening their survival. Institutions that are outfitted to properly treat the disease can do much more for the patient than a normal health care facility can.
Among the benefits of receiving care from a larger institution are having specialists who are up to date with the latest drug therapies and having doctors who are trained and practiced in procedures like extrapleural pneumonectomy. The doctors and facilities are better equiped to care for mesothelioma patients, and can therefore help them far more.
