For the veterans and military families who gave so much to our country, now it’s our turn to serve them.

The U.S. military was among the largest users of asbestos in the 20th century, leading to approximately 30% of mesothelioma cases occurring in veterans. That’s why our team is dedicated to providing resources and connecting individuals with the care and legal assistance they need as they navigate this disease.

If you’re a U.S. veteran and have recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure during your service, contact us today. https://www.mesotheliomavets.com/contact/

Did you know there are several different types of mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue that surrounds the lungs, abdomen, and heart. The disease is classified into three types, depending on where the tumors are located in the body. Patients are diagnosed with pleural, peritoneal, or pericardial mesothelioma.

In 2019, TTFields were approved for treating pleural mesothelioma after showing they work well in clinical trials. This therapy causes fewer side effects and has helped patients live longer, according to the STELLAR study.
