Asbestos Lung Cancer
Lung Cancer is the most common type of cancer, found in individuals who have sustained prolonged exposure to asbestos. Lung cancer, asbestos related or otherwise, develops through the surrounding tissue, invading and often obstructing air passages.
The time between exposure to asbestos and the occurrence of lung cancer is often 20 to 30 years or more but varies in every individual case. It should be noted that there is a multiplying effect between smoking and asbestos exposure, which creates an extreme susceptibility to lung cancer.
Asbestos Lung Cancer symptoms
The most common symptoms of asbestos related lung cancer are:
- shortness of breath
- coughing
- chest pain
- a dry crackling sound in the lungs while inhaling
- weight loss
- lack of or difficulty sleeping
Annual asbestos detection tests are recommended for anyone with occupational or familial asbestos exposure. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms it is our recommendation that you make an appointment at your local GP and mention your past exposure to asbestos.
