About our specialised Mesothelioma Clinic
Decades of practice have showed that mesothelioma cannot be cured by one single treatment modality. Modern medicine is making progress, but a cure in mesothelioma still remains exceptional. Our team is comprised of experts in their respective fields:
-
chest medicine
-
interventional radiology
-
thoracic surgery
-
anaesthesia and intensive care medicine
-
radiation and medical oncology
-
pathology
-
palliative care and pain management.
The clinic offers what is believed to be a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. It is our belief that every mesothelioma patient should be offered the opportunity to discuss all available therapies and to make an informed decision after receiving the best recommendation from our team. As the only dedicated mesothelioma clinic in Europe, we are open to various invasive and non-invasive therapies whilst utilising the most innovative technology. All our patients are discussed in our weekly multidisciplinary meeting. We believe in a team approach.
We only work with experts in the field, most of whom have more than 20 years of experience in the field of mesothelioma therapy. We have an extensive network of long-term friends and colleagues, all experts in mesothelioma who are working in Europe, North-America and Australasia and who refer patients to us regularly. We have often referred patients to them to save long journeys or when a similar treatment is available nearer from home. Similarly, we have often referred patients to an expert colleague offering a more appropriate therapy or a clinical trial nearer from home.
