Health Care Providers

The US LAM Foundation website offers extensive information about the diagnosis and treatment of LAM. Rather than repeat these messages on this site, health care providers are advised to go to: http://www.thelamfoundation.org/medical-providers.html.

Recently, several review articles have been published about LAM. If you have difficulty in accessing any of these papers, please contact us and we will be happy to send you a copy. A more extensive review of the literature from 2004-2007 can be viewed in the Scientific research section.

A booklet for health care providers on the diagnosis and management of LAM can be obtained through LAM Canada upon request.
