Press Release Summary: David Sugarbaker, M.D. and Other Pioneers Serve as
Inspiration for New Mesothelioma Website

Press Release Body: Each year, malignant pleural mesothelioma affects over 3,000
people in the United States. Without therapy, most patients will die within 4 to 12
months following diagnosis. But thanks to the dedication of physicians like David
Sugarbaker, M.D., mesothelioma victims are living longer and more comfortably-and a
cure for the deadly cancer moves closer each day. Dr. Sugarbaker is Director of
Thoracic Surgery at the Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center in Boston and
the founder of the International Mesothelioma Program (IMP), a clinical and research
initiative focused on advancing mesothelioma treatment. In clinical trials, Dr.
Sugarbaker's multi-modality treatment approach-one that combines surgery,
chemotherapy and radiation-has added years onto the lives of patients with pleural
mesothelioma.

"The groundbreaking work of Dr. Sugarbaker has been instrumental in advancing our
understanding of malignant mesothelioma," says Attorney Jim Sokolove, founder and
principal of the Law Offices of James Sokolove (www.jimsokolove.com). "His
dedication, and that of other pioneers in this field, is in part what inspired us to
create the Mesothelioma Resource Center."

The Mesothelioma Resource Center is a new national resource designed to help serve
the needs of mesothelioma cancer victims and their families. The website offers
information on the latest mesothelioma treatments as well as a discussion forum
where victims can reach out to others who have been affected by the disease. Dr.
Sugarbaker and other leaders in mesothelioma research contributed their time and
expertise to the site's development.

"We're keeping our finger on the pulse of modern mesothelioma research, and
translating new discoveries into useable information for victims and their
families," Sokolove says. "Our hope for the Mesothelioma Resource Center is that it
becomes a leading resource for information on this aggressive illness."

Mesothelioma Program can visit www.impmeso.org. Additional information on malignant
mesothelioma causes, treatment options, and support resources can be found at
