A new project was launched recently to help inform future research into the best way to treat and care for mesothelioma sufferers.
The survey is being conducted by the ‘Mesothelioma Priority Setting Partnership’ (PSP), which was recently set up by non-profit group the James Lind Alliance and is being funded by the National Institute for Health Research, a government body.
