Consensus Statement

Our consensus statement outlining a list of eleven research priorities for mesothelioma patient and carer experience research was published and can be found here.  

To develop these priorities this study comprised three stages:

  • Evidence synthesis: to explore what was already known and where the gaps in knowledge were.
  • Survey: mesothelioma patients, carers and professionals were invited to have their say about important topic areas for future research.
  • Ranking: exercises were undertaken by a project steering group, individuals with experience and expertise in the field of mesothelioma, to reach consensus regarding the most important research topics.
