How is Lung Cancer Diagnosed?

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with lung cancer or other serious lung disease stemming from asbestos exposure?  Asbestos is a known carcinogen, and exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.

A lung cancer diagnosis can be made by a medical professional upon an evaluation of any symptoms, inquiries pertaining to exposure to substances that can cause lung cancer and inquiries pertaining to medical history. Lung cancer is usually first found on a chest X-ray or a CT scan. More tests are done to diagnose non–small cell or small cell lung cancer and to find out whether it is confined to the lung or has spread to other parts of the body.
