About Mesothelioma-Lung-Cancer.org
Mesothelioma-Lung-Cancer.org is a national mesothelioma and asbestos information resource dedicated to helping patients, veterans, and families affected by asbestos-related diseases. We provide free educational content, connect patients with experienced medical and legal professionals, and guide families through every step of the process — from diagnosis to compensation.
Our team includes experienced mesothelioma attorneys, patient advocates who have lost their own loved ones to asbestos-related diseases, military veterans support specialists, and medical-legal experts. Many of us came to this work because mesothelioma touched our own families first.
Mesothelioma-Lung-Cancer.org partners with Danziger & De Llano, LLP — a Houston-based mesothelioma law firm with over 30 years of experience and more than $2 billion recovered for patients and families. D&D’s attorneys serve as the legal team for this resource, providing free case evaluations and legal guidance to patients and families nationwide.
