An asbestos cancer attorney will allow you to get compensation for being diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other forms of cancer from being exposed to asbestos at a job or at a rented home. Their main duty is to get you a settlement from working or living in an unsuitable environment.

Yes. Asbestos exposure does increase your risk of getting lung cancer.
An astrocytoma is a form of brain cancer. Asbestos has not been associated with brain cancer.
The relationship between asbestos and cancer is that exposure to asbestos can cause some forms of cancer in some of the people who are exposed. In particular, exposure to airborne asbestos has been associated with lung cancer and mesothilioma, a cancer of the lining of the chest cavity and lungs.
While the term " asbestos cancer " most often refers to mesothelioma, a number of other cancers are associated with asbestos exposure. Lung cancer, for example, is a direct result of asbestos exposure, and some studies have suggested an association between asbestos exposure and gastrointestinal and colorectal cancer. Mesothelioma cancer is the only asbestos-related cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma can develop after someone inhales or ingests elevated amounts of asbestos over time. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration calls it "the greatest health risk for American asbestos workers." Asbestos-related lung cancers are diagnosed more frequently than any other type of asbestos-connected disease. The Environmental Working Group estimates that between 5,000 and 10,000 asbestos-related lung cancer fatalities have occurred each year over the span of the last two decades.
Asbestos has been known for years to be one of the leading causes of lung cancer.
