Mesothelioma From a Patient Perspective: A Survey of Psychosocial Needs and Exploration of Online Support for Patients

The aim of this study is to learn about how mesothelioma affects patients' emotional and
physical well-being. Also, the investigators would like to learn more about what patients
need and how they deal with this illness. This information can help us find ways to lessen
physical and emotional strains. Part of the study tests an alternate way of giving emotional
support through the Internet. By providing support online, patients can participate in the
comfort of their home.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma and receiving care at MSKCC

- At least 18 years of age or older

- Able to read and speak English

- Patients who choose to participate in the Internet-based discussion groups, need a
telephone, a computer, Internet access, and an e-mail account.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Significant psychiatric or cognitive disturbance sufficient, in the investigator's
judgment, to preclude providing informed consent or participating in a group-format
intervention (i.e., acute psychiatric symptoms which require individual treatment).
