New Mesothelioma Registry Launched in Australia

The new Australian Mesothelioma Registry would be the basis of a database that would track the incidence rates for the deadly disease across the country, as well as help doctors and researchers establish patterns of when, where and how the disorder has occurred in patients over the last several years. Ms. Gillard said that the registry program would advance the cause of mesothelioma research in a country that has had a long and troubled history with the disease.
