IBS06.03 Japanese Data

Abstract

In conclusion, with the remaining health burden due to mesothelioma, the changing landscape of asbestos exposure, and the many unanswered scientific questions, a nation-wide, real-time US mesothelioma registry is urgently needed. Methods for data sharing, linkage to existing tissue banks, and data access should be implemented and tested on a small scale before being implemented nationwide. One of the most practical outputs of these efforts would be the ability to conduct pragmatic trials that could be built out of a "real time" case capture system.
