Studies Link Kidney, Brain, Bladder and Layrngeal Cancers to Asbestos

The Connection Between Asbestos and Kidney, Brain, Bladder, Laryngeal, and Other Cancers.

Studies show a link between exposure to asbestos and bladder and kidney cancer.

Some studies have noted excess deaths from, or reported cases, of certain cancers such as the kidneys (two studies), brain (one study), and bladder (one study).

Several epidemiologic studies have reported an increased risk of laryngeal cancer in workers exposed to asbestos.

In contrast, other epidemiologic studies have not found a strong link between increased risk of cancers and asbestos exposure (except for cancers of the lungs and surrounding areas).
