Mesothelioma is a is a cancer that affects the membranes that cover many of the body’s organs.
Both lung cancer and mesothelioma can develop many years after the exposure to asbestos.
- The prognosis for lung cancer is poor with only 10% of people achieving a cure.but it is possible to extend life for many years with treatment
- The prognosis for mesothelioma is also very poor with a mortality rate of around 85% for 3 years from diagnosis
Like asbestosis, the mortality rates are expected to rise in coming years because of the prolonged gap between exposure to asbestos and the onset of the cancers.
