Doctor Patient Alliance for Responsible Asbestos Policy

For the first time ever, doctors and patients have collaborated in the effort to improve our litigation system, improve cancer research, and focus the attention on the unique damages that mesothelioma patients must endure. The 10 page policy paper is authored by The Doctor-Patient Alliance for Responsible Asbestos Cancer Policy. It is endorsed by 34 of this country's top medical experts who treat mesothelioma patients. The experts range from thoracic surgeons, to pathologists, to pulmonary doctors, to oncologists to geneticists. It is truly an extraordinary effort and I am very proud of all the doctors -- normally a very conservative lot who are reluctant to engage in politics -- for joining in this progressive and revolutionary advocacy effort.
