Abstract
The increasing worldwide incidence of malignant mesothelioma
will result in the death of hundreds of thousands of people and should
provide a strong moral imperative for urgent, focused research. In
addition, the enormous compensation costs of mesothelioma provide
an economic incentive.
Advances in the treatment of this difficult disease will occur
only when science can push beyond the skepticism and pessimism that
have been associated with malignant mesothelioma. The past 10 to 15
years have seen important advances in the diagnosis and management
of this disease. The highly interactive and cooperative international
mesothelioma research network is well placed to make further
advances.
