Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Brigham and Women’s Hospital

An affiliate of Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital is home to the International Mesothelioma Program (IMP). IMP's clinical focus is on developing the most effective and advanced treatment strategies to extend the lives of those suffering from mesothelioma.

Located in Boston, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/International Mesothelioma Program is one of the premier mesothelioma treatment centers in the nation. It combines clinical, research, and support programs to deliver a multifaceted treatment plan for patients suffering from mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer.

The national reputation of this cancer treatment center is so strong that one of our clients made the trip there from Florida. Our client’s son rented a full-sized RV to take his ailing father who had late stage mesothelioma from Florida to Boston for treatment.

After days in the RV, they arrived in Boston and met with Dr. Sugarbaker, the founder of the International Mesothelioma Program. That consultation was followed up with tests and scans. Ultimately, a decision was made to operate up in Boston.

The fact that a late-stage mesothelioma patient would make such a trip and sacrifice so much just to have his treatment undertaken by the doctors at this hospital speaks volumes about the respect that patients have for the this center.
