Mesothelioma And Lung Cancer From Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma and lung cancer are among the most serious of the health conditions caused by asbestos exposure. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can become lodged in the lung tissue, leading to cancerous changes over time.
These types of cancers can take years or even decades to develop and science has yet to determine a “safe level” of exposure that does not pose a risk of developing these cancers, especially mesothelioma. Symptoms often don’t become evident until the advanced stages. By that time, few treatment options are available. Common symptoms include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath and unexplained weight loss. Unfortunately, the prognosis can be grim, especially if diagnosed late.
It’s important to note that individuals with asbestosis are at an increased risk of developing lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases due to prolonged asbestos exposure.
Other Asbestos-Related Cancers
Aside from mesothelioma and lung cancer, asbestos exposure is linked to several other cancers, including:
- Esophageal cancer
- Laryngeal cancer
- Colon cancer
- Gastrointestinal cancer
Each of these conditions can be life-threatening. The connection between asbestos and these cancers underscores the importance of seeking legal advice if you or a loved one has been diagnosed.
Getting The Compensation You Deserve
Securing compensation for asbestos-related cancer can be a critical step in alleviating the financial burdens associated with the disease.
