All those who are eligible are enrolled in the program. Patients receive clinical trial regimens upon qualifying and are observed by the center’s oncologists and other specialists. This hands-on approach allows various clinicians to make real-time decisions and modifications during the course of the clinical trial depending on the patient’s response to the treatment.

The Thoracic Oncology Program brings together surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, social workers and other care providers to formulate treatment plans that target every aspect of the patient’s disease. Many of these specialists are renowned in their fields of expertise. Surgical oncologists perform a variety of complicated surgeries in fighting mesothelioma, including extrapleural pneumonectomies, pleurectomies, and other procedures. The Radiation Oncology Program offers several options for radiation treatment that incorporate the newest radiation therapy delivery methods either alone or in conjunction with other treatments. Oncologists who manage mesothelioma treatment with chemotherapy carefully evaluate the patient’s cancer and health profile to determine the type of chemotherapy and dosage for each patient.

The medical care and support that patients receive at the Moffitt Cancer Center is uniquely adapted to meet the needs of each patient.
