[MOL] Mesothelioma



Hi, everyone!

Some local doctors have told my brother that there is a doctor at the
University of Wisconsin Medical Center that has done the pleural
resectioning that he needs.  They did not give a name, however.  Does anyone
have any knowledge of this facility and it's physicians - relating to the
treatment of cancer?

Thanks.
