A Mesothelioma Oncologist is a highly specialized medical doctor with advanced expertise in diagnosing, staging, and treating mesothelioma—a rare and aggressive cancer primarily caused by asbestos exposure. These oncologists possess deep knowledge of mesothelioma subtypes (pleural, peritoneal, pericardial, and testicular), molecular tumor markers and multimodal treatment strategies including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and clinical trials.
They collaborate with multidisciplinary teams consisting of thoracic surgeons, radiologists, pulmonologists and palliative care specialists to create individualized care plans aimed at prolonging survival and improving quality of life.
