Mesothelioma.net, is one of the most comprehensive online resources on Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure, and is sponsored by The American Cancer Society, the MD Cancer Center, and the Make a Wish Foundation.

In the past our Military relied on asbestos in various settings, including buildings, vehicles, aircraft, and ships due to its low cost, availability, fireproofing and heat-resistant properties. Consequently, veterans have a higher incidence of mesothelioma, with nearly one-third of cases being diagnosed in this group. Late-stage diagnosis is common due to the rapid spread and delayed symptom development. 

At Mesothelioma.net our mission is to provide veterans with the very best in cancer treatment information, financial aid, 24/7 online support, and much more.
