Mesothelioma Resource Online
Mesothelioma Resource Online has created and developed this site to provide answers and support for people diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer, as well as their families and loved ones. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos and has long been considered a mystery and incurable. However, over the past two decades, physicians, scientists and researchers have begun to unravel this mystery and help people diagnose mesothelioma in its earlier stages, while providing more extensive forms of treatment, vast resources, and general information to make coping and survival more about optimism rather than uncertainty. Mesothelioma Resource Online is presented by Seeger Weiss LLP.

Agent Orange Registry Program
In mid-1978, the Veterans Administration, now known as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), set up a register of Vietnam veterans who were worried that they may have been exposed to herbicides during their military service in Vietnam. This registry mainly consists of an extensive medical examination, and is offered at all VA medical centers. The Agent Orange Registry is a computerized index of all of those examinations. In September 2000, VA approved these examinations for veterans who served in Korea in 1968 or 1969. In August 2001, VA expanded the registry to include those veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange or other herbicides during testing, transporting, or spraying of these herbicides for military purposes.
