Helpful Publications
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has written materials for patients, families and caregivers. The publications focus on a number of topics, including treatment methods, tips on coping with the disease and information on clinical trials. The materials can be ordered from the NCI Web site’s publications locator.

Other Organizations and Web sites that can help
There are many other places where patients and caregivers can obtain information and answers to their questions. Your doctor’s office and the cancer center at your hospital may have information on local and regional agencies that can provide assistance with home care, transportation for medical treatment, and other resources. A list of organizations and Web sites that offer information and services for cancer patients and their families is available on the American Cancer Society’s Web site (www.cancer.gov).

Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
