Find a Mesothelioma Specialist Near You
Search a curated directory of independently verified centers by location, clinical focus, and available services.

How the Directory Works
This directory lists specialist centers that MesotheliomaFeed has independently verified using publicly available information. Search by location or filter by clinical focus and services to narrow results. New centers are added on an ongoing basis as verification is completed — the absence of a listing in a given area does not mean specialist care is unavailable there.
How Entries Are Verified
Each listed center is reviewed against publicly available sources before publication, and again on an ongoing basis. A center appears in search results only after it has a confirmed name, location, official website, clinical-focus description, at least one verification source, and an actual last-verified date on file.
MesotheliomaFeed does not rank or endorse providers. Information, availability, insurance participation and services should be confirmed directly with each center.
Why Specialist Experience May Matter
Mesothelioma is uncommon, and treatment experience can vary significantly between doctors and centers. Because many oncologists may see only a handful of cases in their career, if any, doctors and centers that treat mesothelioma more regularly tend to be more familiar with its diagnostic nuances, the range of available treatments, and how the disease can progress. This experience can be a meaningful factor when building a care team, alongside proximity, insurance coverage, and personal comfort with a provider.
Mesothelioma care often involves more than one type of specialist working together, sometimes called a multidisciplinary team. Depending on the type and stage of disease, this may include thoracic or surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pulmonologists, and palliative care specialists. Some cancer centers coordinate these specialists as a team, which can make it easier to combine treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation when appropriate.
What to Evaluate in a Center
- Experience specifically with mesothelioma, not only general oncology
- Whether a multidisciplinary tumor board reviews cases
- Access to pathology review by clinicians familiar with mesothelioma
- Openness to second opinions
- Practical factors: proximity, insurance participation, telehealth options
Preparing for a Second Opinion
A second opinion generally involves another qualified center reviewing the existing diagnosis, imaging, and pathology to confirm or offer an alternative perspective on treatment options. Bringing complete records helps the second center evaluate the case efficiently, and asking the original care team whether they support seeking one is a reasonable question to raise.
Records to Bring and Questions to Ask
Records You May Need
- Pathology or biopsy reports
- Imaging studies (CT, PET, or MRI scans) and reports

Questions to Ask a Potential Specialist
- How many mesothelioma cases have you treated?

- Is my case discussed with a multidisciplinary tumor board?
- What would a second opinion involve, and do you support seeking one?
- What support services are available through your center?
Travel, Insurance and Financial Support
Traveling to an experienced center, navigating insurance, and managing time away from work are common practical concerns. Our financial assistance guide gives a general overview of insurance navigation, travel and lodging support, and nonprofit assistance categories people often look into. No program is guaranteed, and availability depends on individual circumstances.
Medical-Information Boundaries
This directory and page provide general educational information only. They do not diagnose a condition, recommend an individual treatment, or guarantee that any listed center is appropriate for a specific situation. Directory information should be confirmed directly with each center, and individual medical decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare provider.
