Staunch Advocate for Meso Victims Awarded Government Grants

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 by Scott Hendler

The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation considers it a milestone in the quest for better mesothelioma treatments.  

The U.S. Department of Defense is continuing a recent trend on its part to fund treatment-related research for patients who suffer from mesothelioma lung cancer. 

MARF made the announcement today, signaling its feeling that the U.S. government is finally paying attention to its advocacy for veterans and other military service personnel who have suffered from asbestos exposure during their service to our country.

The announcement points out that since 1992, the DoD has been charged with promoting research on diseases related to military service.  However until 2007, none of the more than 5 billion dollars in funding went to mesothelioma lung cancer.
