Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. In the US, there are approximately 3,000 new mesothelioma cases diagnosed each year, many of them in New York. One of the reasons this cancer is so dangerous is its long latency period. Most people are not diagnosed until decades after they have been exposed to asbestos. There is no cure for mesothelioma, though early detection can help increase a persona quality of life and life expectancy after diagnosis.
Asbestos was heavily used in the US up until the late 1970s, though its use continued into the 1990s. Once known as the “magic mineral” due to its versatility, heat resistance, and low cost, asbestos is a cancer-causing carcinogen. Once inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibers can embed themselves in the body and cause malignant cell growth.
