Choosing a Cancer Center

When selecting a cancer center in Oregon for mesothelioma treatment, consider:

  • Mesothelioma experience — Ask how many mesothelioma patients they treat annually
  • Multidisciplinary approach — Look for centers with thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists working together
  • Clinical trials — Active research programs may offer access to new treatments
  • Support services — Palliative care, social work, and patient navigation are valuable
  • Practical factors — Travel distance, insurance acceptance, and scheduling flexibility

Questions to Ask

Before your first appointment, consider asking the cancer center:

  • Do you have physicians who specialize in mesothelioma?
  • What surgical procedures do you perform for mesothelioma?
  • Are there clinical trials I might qualify for?
  • What is your approach to multimodal treatment?
  • What support services are available for patients and caregivers?
  • Can you help coordinate care if I need to see specialists at other facilities?

Getting a Second Opinion

A second opinion is standard practice for cancer patients and especially important for mesothelioma due to its complexity. Most cancer centers welcome second opinion consultations and can often review your records remotely before an in-person visit.
