description The UK has the highest incidence of mesothelioma in the world, but services vary across the country partly due to uneven geographical distribution of cases.

To ensure equitable and optimal patient care, cancer alliances should have established referral pathways to specialist multidisciplinary team (MDT) services for discussion of all mesothelioma patients.
