About the presentation

No two mesotheliomas are exactly alike. This presentation will examine the remarkable variation seen within and between mesothelioma tumours, including the different cell types that make up the tumour environment and the diversity of the cancer cells themselves. Professor Marciniak will explain how his team's mesothelioma organoid biobank is helping researchers understand these differences and move towards matching the right treatment to the right patient.

The webinar will be of interest to anyone working in asbestos removal, testing, consultancy, surveying or management, and to anyone who wants a clearer picture of the disease the industry exists to prevent. Please pass this invitation on to colleagues and contacts who may want to join.
