Lung Cancer

What is asbestos-related lung cancer?

Asbestos exposure can lead to three distinct but similar conditions: asbestos-induced lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Lung cancer from asbestos exposure originates within the lung itself, whereas mesothelioma forms in the lung’s outer lining, and asbestosis is classified as a chronic lung disease. Although each condition may take years to manifest, lung cancer and mesothelioma have the potential to progress or metastasize rapidly within a few months. 

Asbestos exposure is linked to significantly more instances of lung cancer than mesothelioma, with lung cancer cases being six times more prevalent. Moreover, lung cancer is the deadliest of all asbestos-related diseases, claiming more lives than any other condition linked to asbestos exposure. 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that the higher the concentration of asbestos fibers a person is exposed to, the higher the risk of lung cancer. Individuals in occupations where asbestos or dust is present in a confined area carry an elevated risk of developing an asbestos-related disease.
