Asbestos is a mineral, not a disease requiring a cure.
Several diseases are caused by asbestos. There is no cure for asbestosis, a scaring of the lungs. But there are treatments that can alleviate is effects for a time. Lung cancer caused by asbestos is treated and "cured" the same way other lung cancers are - surgery, chemotherapy, hope. Mesothelioma, another cancer caused by asbestos, has no cure and no effective treatment.
