Will Asbestos In The Atmosphere Lead To Breast Cancer?
Is it possible that asbestos could have caused my late daughters breast cancer? She had mets in her liver, lungs bones and brain! She was 39 yrs old when diagnosed. She also had 2 miscarriages, the last pregnancie was an ectopic . She and her husband had renovated a house which had a large amount of asbestos in it. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 yrs later.
It is highly unlikely. There is no known association between asbestos exposure and breast cancer development. Asbestos exposure is known to cause lung cancer and that too after several years of exposure, but breast cancer is unheard of. It is most likely just a coincidence.
