Factors Karen Considers
Multi-disciplinary
Cancer centers should be able to fulfill all the needs of a mesothelioma patient, keeping patients from having to endure unnecessary travel.
Treats All Stages
Finding a cancer center with the ability to treat every stage of mesothelioma is critical, since every stage requires specialized treatment.
Location
Finding a cancer center that is located nearby may be preferable as some treatments (such as chemotherapy) may require numerous visits.
Experience with Mesothelioma
Not every cancer center is equipped to handle mesothelioma. Patients should make sure that their cancer center can treat their specific diagnosis.
Clinical Trials
One of the benefits of receiving treatment at a major cancer center is that patients will have access to clinical trials.
Insurance Acceptance
Healthcare can be expensive, so determining whether a certain cancer center accepts a patient’s insurance is important.
