Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Keep Mesothelioma Away®.

Nearly all pleural mesothelioma traces back to asbestos, often decades earlier. There is no screening test — but there is a real and lengthening list of treatments, including immunotherapy that has moved survival for the first time in years.

Here is what you'll find on this page.

What lowers your risk. Avoid asbestos exposure — there is no known safe level; If your work involves older buildings, ships, insulation, brakes, or demolition, use every piece of protective equipment provided and follow OSHA asbestos procedures; If you are exposed at work, shower and change before going home, and keep work clothes out of the household laundry — fibers carried home have caused disease in family members.

Here is what you can do next.

Talk with our team. If you have an asbestos history and new chest symptoms, do not wait it out. Look for the button marked Contact us.
