Mesothelioma patients know that the top medical professionals who specialize in the treatment of the disease often are the best at finding effective treatments for cancer and will travel miles to be treated there. Several hospitals known for offering specialty mesothelioma care have topped the list of “Best Hospitals” from the prestigious U.S. News & World Report rankings.
Mesothelioma is a serious and rare cancer that occurs in those who have inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers. The fibers travel through the body resulting in cancer usually many decades later. Mesothelioma, which is often called “asbestos” cancer, is very aggressive and resistant to several different treatments. Approximately, 3,000 people are diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma each year in the United States.
Specialists in the disease are aware of the latest research, and they will develop an informed treatment plan personalized to the unique characteristics of each patient’s cancer.
The top five mesothelioma treatment hospitals according to U.S. News are: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY; University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center, Boston, MA and Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD.
