Getting mesothelioma treatment at City of Hope means you are steps away from labs where exciting new therapies for mesothelioma are being developed. That means our research moves quickly from the lab to our patients’ bedside.
Mesothelioma Research Projects
Some of our past and current research projects include:
- Investigating the use of advanced immunotherapy treatments to target mesothelioma cells
- Evaluating whether chemotherapy before mesothelioma surgery improves treatment effectiveness
- Investigating the use of durvalumab combined with chemotherapy to extend mesothelioma survival rates
- Using advanced imaging techniques to identify mesothelioma as early as possible
- Evaluating the use of targeted therapy as a potential treatment for mesothelioma
Mesothelioma Clinical Trials
City of Hope patients have access to mesothelioma clinical trials such as the newest immunotherapy treatment and targeted therapy approaches, all with the goal of helping extend life.
