Mesothelioma Doctor Information

Dr. Harvey Pass - New York, New York
Dr. Harvey Pass has dedicated his career as a thoracic surgeon to raising public awareness regarding the dangers of asbestos exposure and its direct link to pleural mesothelioma. Some of Dr. Pass's most important research findings occurred while at the Karmanos Cancer Center, Michigan between the years of 1996-2005. Dr.. Pass and his colleagues completed a key study by which they identified a protein called osteopontin that presents at elevated levels in patients diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. This discovery enables mesothelioma physicians to use a simple blood test to screen individuals with a history of asbestos exposure in order to help diagnose pleural mesotheliomas in earlier stages where they can be treated more successfully.
