Cancer of the larynx linked to asbestos exposure!
Fact: Asbestos Material Broadens number of cancers it causes: Asbestos, already generally accepted as a cause of a number of respiratory ailments including lung cancer, may also be a source for laryngeal cancer, the U.S. government's Institute of Medicine says. The Associated Press reports that a series of studies have found that certain cancers of the throat and lungs are similar, so the U.S. Senate asked the institute to investigate a potential link between asbestos and other upper-body cancers. In addition to lung cancer, asbestos, historically used to insulate buildings, is also linked to mesothelioma, a rare cancer that attacks the lining of the chest. But the institute said there was not enough evidence of a connection between asbestos and other malignancies, including cancers of the upper throat and esophagus. Get Mesothelioma Lawsuit Help Now!
