Rod was a passionate supporter of our work and mission. Your donation will help us continue vital research to improve diagnosis and treatment of mesothelioma, and support patients and families impacted. Our dedicated team of specialist doctors, scientists and researchers are focused on biomarker discovery-based research to develop and measure new and improved diagnostic strategies to enable a more effective mesothelioma diagnosis for individuals with a prior history of asbestos exposure. This could lead to a new minimally-invasive, early and accurate diagnosis of mesothelioma, that will allow for early treatment options – before disease onset or at the very early stage of disease development. Having a clinical element to ADDRI means we can translate this research into real-life healthcare improvements.
Your generous contribution will significantly drive our research efforts to ensure better diagnosis, treatment and support of people suffering with mesothelioma, as well as supporting the carers and families that suffer alongside their loved ones. Thank you for your support of ADDRI and our team.
