Penn SRP Center Investigator Presentation at the 12th International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma hosted by The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation and the National Cancer Institute, at the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, March 2-4, 2015.

 At this event the entire mesothelioma community came together to learn of the newest advances in the science and research of mesothelioma and also to discover new treatments and approaches to improve the quality of life of those diagnosed with the disease. It allowed patients, caregivers, scientists and bereaved to share personal experiences and learn from each other. Patients really appreciated being able to speak one on one with doctors outside of a medical setting and researchers got to put a face to their research.
