a disease caused almost exclusively by exposure to asbestos. The term is also sometimes used to refer to other types of cancer which may be caused by exposure to asbestos, including lung cancer, colon cancer (also known as colorectal) cancer), esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer and stomach cancer.
Asbestos-related cancer may not show symptoms for as many as 20-50 years. If you or a loved one have recently been diagnosed with a form of asbestos cancer, you should try to remember whether you or your loved one was exposed to asbestos 20-50 years ago. For information about how a person may have been exposed, please visit our How People Are Exposed to Asbestos page and our Frequently Asked Questions page.
