Asbestos Exposure
& Mesothelioma
Exposure to asbestos usually occurs many years before
Mesothelioma is diagnosed.
The average time between asbestos exposure and diagnosis of
Mesothelioma
is approximately 30 years, but can be shorter than
15 years or longer than 40 years before you
see the effects of exposure to Asbestos.
Asbestos Highly Magnified
Mesothelioma survivors may also have another asbestos-related disease such as ASBESTOSIS or PLEURALDISEASE.
These non-cancerous conditions, although caused by asbestos, are medically separate and distinct diseases from
Mesothelioma. Therefore, a disease such as asbestosis does not "develop" into
Mesothelioma.
Because asbestosis has a shorter latency
period than Mesothelioma, some people
diagnosed with Mesothelioma also develop asbestosis many years before developing the cancer. Many medical experts believe that less than 15% of
people suffering with asbestosis will ever develop
Mesothelioma. Also, a person can develop
Mesothelioma but never have asbestosis or any other asbestos-related disease.
