What Diseases Can Asbestos Be Responsible For?
When even a single asbestos fiber is inhaled, it may come to rest in the lungs. The fibers begin to incubate and may become the source of any of several catastrophic medical problems. These problems include mesothelioma, a very rare, extremely aggressive form of cancer for which there is no current cure. If you or a loved one has suffered any of the following, it may be the result of asbestos fibers:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Testes cancer
- Laryngeal cancer
- Pleural plaques
- Pleural thickening or effusion
