You may find some cutting edge stuff at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston , MA. There was a story recently of a very young woman (30s) who was diagnosed with mesothelioma and they did some new treatment on her and she is making remarkable progress. If you don't find anything at the hopsital website, go to www.thebostonchannel.com and search mesothelioma there. Her story should come up.

NEW INFO: Oops, looks like it was Brigham and Women's Hospital. Here is a story link

It has the surgeon's name which should make searching for his treatment easier.
