There are two major types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)is the most common type and accounts for up to 85% of all lung cancer cases. It responds better to lung cancer treatment than other types. This type of ...

It is often claimed that adenocarcinoma is the most frequent type of lung cancer seen in workers exposed to asbestos. Careful review of the published data, however, fails to support this claim. Rather, it seems that all types of lung cancers occur in asbestos workers, and the presence or ab...

Smoking, asbestos exposure ups lung cancer death risk: study.The article focuses on a study from the American Thoracic Society which states that the risk of developing lung cancer is increased more when workers smoke and are exposed to asbestos or have asbestosis....
Asbestos exposure is linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and laryngeal cancer. Learn more here about asbestos cancer types.
The mean age of these 19 lung cancer patients was 57.8 yr, and lung cancer was the cause of death (underlying cause) in 35% of all diseased men with asbestosis. The proportion of lung cancer mortality from all deaths among Finnish men 5564 yr old is 10.8%, which is clearly lower than...
Asbestos exposure can lead to lung cancer in a two-part process: Asbestos fibers embed themselves in the soft inner tissues of the lungs. Asbestos fibers travel over the soft tissue and make their way into the lung lining. Once these fibers are in the lungs, there is no way for them to...
We have examined data from 12 epidemiologic studies for quantitative evidence of biologic synergy between asbestos and smoking on lung cancer risks. Estimates of the effect associated with joint exposure to the two agents exceeded the sum of their separate effects in each study. We explored the var...
