Mesothelioma Victims Center Now Urges People Who Had Heavy Exposure To Asbestos At Work Or While In The US Navy In the 1950s, 1960s Or 1970s To Get An Annual Chest X-Ray
(PRWEB) August 04, 2014 -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Because mesothelioma is not a type of cancer that typically impacts younger adults, and because we are convinced hundreds of individuals die from mesothelioma each year without ever being properly diagnosed, we are urging individuals who had heavy exposure to asbestos in a workplace, or while serving in the US Navy to schedule annual chest x-ray to make certain they have no masses or benign tumors in the lungs. In most instances, when we hear from a diagnosed victim's family, the individual is already extremely sick. The earlier we can information about the a diagnosed victim the better the chances for much better compensation, and possible treatment options.”
For more information, diagnosed victims of mesothelioma, concerned family members, or individuals who had heavy exposure to asbestos in a workplace environment can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
According to the American Lung Association's website that is constantly being updated, "Approximately 70 to 80 percent of people who get mesothelioma have been heavily exposed to asbestos at work. Usually the disease shows up 35 to 50 years after exposure, so most people with it are over the age of 65. Mostly men get the disease, but women are also at risk for developing mesothelioma.”
