Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs and is characterized by abnormal cell growth in the lung tissue. It can often be caused by exposure to asbestos particles, dust, and fibers, and such exposure could be due to your working conditions, meaning your employer could be responsible.
Lung cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, making it difficult to detect and treat. However, common symptoms of lung cancer may include coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment options for lung cancer may require surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the stage and type of cancer.
If you or someone you know is at risk for lung cancer, it is important to seek medical attention and take steps to reduce exposure to risk factors such as smoking and environmental pollutants.
Even if you are a past smoker, you deserve a fair legal process. U&C will be your best ally in seeking rightful compensation for your asbestos exposure and related diseases, including lung cancer.
