Risk of pleural mesothelioma can rise after end of asbestos exposure

The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg have decades of experience defending victims’ rights in practice areas that include: accidents/general injury, dangerous drugs, medical malpractice, and environmental pollutants.

NEWS UPDATE:

The risk of pleural mesothelioma rose steadily with years of asbestos exposure, the researchers found, but began to decline 50 years after exposure had ended.

The risk of lung cancer was highest for men 30 to 39 years after the end of exposure, and for women in the 20 to 29 years after exposure ended, and then began to decline. But the risk for peritoneal mesothelioma continued to rise even 40 years after exposure had ended.
