Mesothelioma research has long been something of a red-headed stepchild in the field of cancer research. This is changing, however, as tissue banks and biospecimen resarch databases are opening up across the country to offer researchers access to depositories of specimens. The databases are part of a larger governmental push to increase cancer resarch and prevent unnecessary deaths. According to scientists, they will allow for a more complete understanding of the disease, and hopefully move us closer to a cure.
