In this episode of MesoTV, we meet with Joseph Friedberg, MD, FACS, a thoracic surgeon at Temple University Hospital-Main Campus and Fox Chase Cancer Center. Dr. Friedberg , is Thoracic Surgeon-in-Chief of Temple University Health System, Vice Chair of Surgical Services for the Department of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery, Professor of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, and Co-Director of the Temple Health Mesothelioma and Pleural Disease Program.
He is interviewed by Shannon Sinclair, RN, BSN, OCN, who serves at the patient services director at the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (www.curemeso.org).
The two of them discuss a variety of topics relating to surgery and beyond, in an informal and conversational way. They start by discussing the anatomy of mesothelioma in an accessible, easy to understand way, and then build on that by explaining in detail which criteria and why play into the calculus of whether surgery should be an option for a patient or not.
