Asbestos related diseases are very serious, mostly effecting the heart, lungs, and stomach and have high mortality rates. It is extremely important to see a doctor as soon as possible, if you have been exposed to asbestos.
Asbestos exposure has been tied to three serious diseases, mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. All three are very difficult to treat when diagnosed. Pleural plaques, pleural fibrosis, and benign asbestos-related pleural effusions are also associated with exposure to asbestos. Cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, reproductive organs, colon and rectum can also be caused by asbestos exposure.
