About The Doctor

Alice Boylan

Pulmonary Medicine , Professor of Medicine

Alice Boylan, M.D., helped with an in-depth series back in 2010, which was called, "Dangers in the Dust, Inside the Global Asbestos Trade." This is a direct reference to the carcinogenic asbestos fibers that, once caught in the lungs, are difficult to get rid of and cause scarring and inflammation of the lungs. There was a good reason that Dr. Boylan has established herself as a top authority on diseases like mesothelioma and those related to the pleura. She felt passionate about serving the patients who suffered from this debilitating condition.
