The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Every week we get calls from the family members of a diseased individual who was suspected of having mesothelioma, or because of heavy workplace to asbestos mesothelioma was considered to be the cause of death. It is urgent for us to get the message out to individuals whose medical doctor has said mesothelioma is a possibility, that without a biopsy and pathology report that confirms mesothelioma the chances of compensation for this rare form of cancer is remote at best."
