There are two types ofasbestos related lung cancer: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC):This is the most common type of lung cancer associated with asbestos exposure. NSCLC includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. ...
Exposure to asbestos has caused more than107,000 deathsfrom lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Commonsymptomsof asbestos-related diseases include a dry cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and weight loss. Asbestos exposure can take10-50 yearsto cause mesothelioma and other illnesses. ...
In recent years, controversy has developed about whether pre-existing asbestosis is a prerequisite for the diagnosis of asbestos-related lung cancer. This paper presents the results of a prospective study, in a cohort of Ontario asbestos–cement workers, of lung cancer in relation to radiogr...
As a result, they said, the rate of asbestos-related mesothelioma in Australia was likely to remain relatively high for at least the next 40 years. "Currently, very little information is collected regarding actual cases of occupational lung diseases in Australia. Most assumptions about many occupat...
Such findings may hopefully improve our understanding of the carcinogenic process, but eliminating the hazardous asbestos exposure remains the only effective means of prevention. Asbestos-related lung cancer is numerically even more important than mesothelioma. Hillerdal & Henderson point out that lung ...

Asbestos may causelung cancerif the fibers get trapped in the lungs and cause the formation of malignant (cancerous) tumors. Asbestos is the most significant cause of work-related lung cancer deaths in the world, according to a study published in a March 2022 issue of theInternational Journal...
