Press Release Summary: New Website Provides Cutting-Edge Information for People
Struggling With Deadly Cancer

Press Release Body: For people with malignant mesothelioma, a rare and serious
cancer caused by asbestos, finding information on their illness can be as
challenging as its symptoms. The Law Offices of James Sokolove (www.jimsokolove.com)
hopes to change this with the launch of the Mesothelioma Resource Center, a
comprehensive online resource designed for mesothelioma victims as well as their
caregivers and families.

"So many of these individuals already feel alone in their struggle," says Attorney
Jim Sokolove, founder and principal of the Law Offices of James Sokolove (LOJS).
"The fact that they can't find reliable information on their condition just
amplifies the sense of isolation. The Mesothelioma Resource Center was designed not
only to provide news on treatments and clinical trials, but also to bring together
those affected by this disease."

The Mesothelioma Resource Center was created with the support of organizations such
as The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF) and the International
Mesothelioma Program (IMP) at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. In addition to
providing background on mesothelioma causes and its link to asbestos, the website
offers tips on maintaining a high quality of life while coping with the disease. A
discussion board is also featured where visitors can find support and advice from
others who have been affected by malignant mesothelioma.

"While developing the Mesothelioma Resource Center, we sought the assistance of
leading authorities in mesothelioma research and treatment," Sokolove says. "Whether
they're looking for ways to manage their symptoms or trying to find a qualified
mesothelioma specialist in their area, site visitors can be confident that they're
getting the most cutting-edge information available today."

Social worker Mellissa Hayon, LICSW, says that education plays a vital role in
battling an illness. "Although coping with a serious disease is never easy, the
process of becoming more informed provides victims with a sense of empowerment over
their disease-and hope for their prognosis."

Those interested in learning more about malignant mesothelioma treatment options,
clinical trials, and coping strategies can do so by visiting www.mesorc.com.
