Mesothelioma is rare, and outcomes are often better at centers that treat it regularly. This is an educational guide to the cancer centers, specialists, and clinical trials that serve Delaware patients — organized so you start with options close to home. It is information from an independent publisher, not medical advice or a referral; treatment decisions belong with your own care team.

Clinical Trials in Delaware

Clinical trials are often a mainstream option for mesothelioma — not a last resort. NCI-designated centers screen patients for eligibility, and current studies enrolling near you are listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, the U.S. government registry, which updates continuously. Ask your oncologist which trials fit your case.

Choosing a Mesothelioma Specialist

  • How many mesothelioma cases does the program treat each year?
  • Do they offer pleurectomy/decortication (P/D), EPP, and HIPEC, and what clinical trials are open?
  • Will a multidisciplinary team review the case together?
  • Is a second opinion at a high-volume program available? (It is standard and rarely delays care.)

Today’s specialists build on generations of research and surgical innovation — see the pioneers who shaped mesothelioma medicine.
