The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation developed MesoTV in response to the need to cancel our annual International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma. In our first season we covered a number of topics, many focused on the immediate effects of Covid-19 on mesothelioma treatment. In our second season and beyond, we focus on more traditional topics such as advances in treatment, mesothelioma science, the patient and caregiver experience and quality of life.
