This weekend, I had a wonderful time at the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation's International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma in Washington, D.C. It was inspiring to hear so many leaders in the medical field discuss their considerations on #treatment.

[Sean Marchese, MS, RN @SeanMarchese]

We heard from experts like Dr. Taylor Ripley, Dr. Ibiayi Dagogo-Jack, Dr. Charles Simone, Dr. Joseph Friedberg, and many more as they hosted an open conversation about multiple #mesothelioma case studies.

I spoke with LiveNOW from FOX this weekend about #asbestos dangers in Maui after the fires. As families return, they’ll need to protect themselves to reduce cancer risk. Watch the whole interview here: https://t.co/WXO9eMa2xX

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial @ACSCAN @RajaFlores Thank you to @Linda_ADAO and the #2023ADAO team for an inspiring conference. Connecting with experts and advocates was an eye-opening experience. We will continue to focus on the action we can take for change leading to a global #asbestos ban once and for all. 9/9 #BanAsbestos

[The Mesothelioma Center @TheMesoCenter]

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial @ACSCAN @RajaFlores We heard from advocates from Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Australia and England on how #asbestos infiltrates underprivileged communities and how countries like India continue to use the material. It was a heartbreaking wake-up call that the fight doesn't end here in America. 8/9

[The Mesothelioma Center @TheMesoCenter]

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial @ACSCAN @RajaFlores They also emphasized the need for continued political action. As Dr. Flores eloquently said, the leaders in Washington, D.C., can "save more lives with a stroke of their pen than I can with a cut of my scalpel." 7/9 #2023AAPC #2023ADAO

[The Mesothelioma Center @TheMesoCenter]

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial @ACSCAN Drs. Andrea Wolf & @RajaFlores, thoracic surgeons at Mt. Sinai Medical, shared why early screening is vital.

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial @ACSCAN The ADAO has worked for years getting the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act through the House and Congress, and it feels like we're closer than ever. Williams's words resonated with how vital it is to take political action alongside medical awareness and social advocacy. 5/9

[The Mesothelioma Center @TheMesoCenter]

@SeanMarchese @IAFFofficial The Director of Federal Relations for cancer screening and early detection issues at the @ACSCAN, James Williams Jr., discussed the hurdles we've faced in reaching a ban on #asbestos in the US. 4/9

@SeanMarchese Greg Russell, a Government Affairs Rep with the @IAFFofficial, spoke on the irreversible impact #asbestos had on first responders. Many individuals give their lives to protect the well-being of others from disasters, knowing the risk of asbestos-related disease. 3/9

[The Mesothelioma Center @TheMesoCenter]

@SeanMarchese Hearing stories from survivors is an inspiring reminder of why we fight for change and a total ban on asbestos. Dr. Richard Lemen, a retired Assistant Surgeon General, shared his experiences working with Dr. Irving Selikoff, who paved the way for #asbestos awareness. 2/9

How are you planning to take action this month?
