Asbestos cancer diagnosis from exposure to fibers

About 180,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. And, even if you eliminated the smokers from the statistic, it would still be the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths.

Medical experts have found that potential lung-cancer causes in nonsmokers include asbestos.

Asbestos is dangerous, particularly in an occupational setting such as in carpentry, home renovation and demolition, when it's airborne and can be inhaled.

In decades past, this typically occurred when asbestos was being installed, which no longer happens. Now it occurs when it is being removed.

The cancer diagnosis, however, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma, takes place many years, if not decades, down the road.

Carcinogenic materials do not have an immediate effect. In simple terms, a carcinogen works by causing damage in the cells' DNA. Over time, damaged cells become overwhelmed and can no longer repair the damage.
