Asbestos-Induced Lung Cancer: Legal Support and Compensation

Understanding Asbestos Exposure and Lung Cancer Risks

Asbestos has been classified as a known human carcinogen. As a carcinogen, asbestos can cause a number of different cancers, including lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

Although lung cancer usually develops slowly, once it occurs, the disease can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. Many studies have shown that the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure exponentially increases one’s risk of developing lung cancer.
