Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma

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 PLEURAL DISEASE.

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.
