Mesothelioma and Asbestos

An innovative idea from the Lung Cancer Alliance based in Washington, DC is heartily endorsed by attorney John Langdoc, of Dallas-based law firm Baron & Budd, P.C., a well-known advocate for victims of mesothelioma as well as asbestos-related illness. The program, called Give a Scan, makes data available to cancer researchers all over the world by accepting donated CT scans as well as clinical data from patients as well as removing the identity before making it accessible for research without charge of charge. Anonymity defends the patient as well as empowers them to contribute without compromising privacy. The potential for sheer volume of raw data is unprecedented, giving researchers access to more information than has ever been likely.
