About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the most common and most deadly cancer among men and women in the United States. Each year lung cancer takes more lives than colon, breast, prostate and lymph cancer combined. Cancer.gov states: “…more than 222,000 new cases expected in the United States in 2010.”
About Asbestos
Asbestos is a mineral fiber insulation with sound absorption, insulating, fire retardant and carcinogenic properties. People have been mining the fiber for thousands of years because of most of those properties. Charlemagne supposedly had a table cloth made of the stuff, and wealthy Persians used it like a party trick – amazing guests by cleaning the cloth by tossing it on the fire. By the industrial revolution, asbestos was widely used as insulation. The United States Navy thought these properties were perfect for insulating war ships and used it to insulate thousands of ships in World War II. By the mid 1930s researchers had documented thousands of cases of people developing lung and breathing disorders in asbestos mining towns.
About Cancer
Cancer is defined as an uncontrolled growth of a group of cells in the body. It can have devastating affects. Some cancers are manageable and even curable, others are terminal. It all depends on the type and location of the tumors or cells. Cancer treatments vary from cancer to cancer. There is chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a multitude of alternative treatments available. New drugs and treatments are being explored everyday through clinical trials in the United States and other countries.
