Other Cancers Besides Mesothelioma That is Caused by Asbestos

Mesothelioma Attorney Richard Dodd Explains Other Cancers Caused by Asbestos

Asbestos exposure causes mesothelioma, but it also causes a host of other potentially fatal diseases. Asbestos lawyer Richard Dodd explains lesser known health effects stemming from exposure to asbestos. His firm can use their team of medical professionals to determine if asbestos exposure played a role in your or your loved one’s illness.

Asbestos exposure can cause many kinds of cancer. A lot of people don’t realize that throat cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer can be associated with asbestos exposure. We all know that lung cancer and mesothelioma have a connection to asbestos exposure, but the gastrointestinal cancer link is a little less well known and sometimes we have to show a larger amount of exposure than we would for mesothelioma. Mesothelioma, you see, is only caused by asbestos exposure. Because lung cancer, throat cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer can be caused by other things, we have to be able to prove with science that asbestos was a contributing or a producing cause. We know how to do this.
