Can Asbestos Exposure cause Basaloid Lung Cancer?
I DO NOT need any general information on asbestos and other problems it may cause…This is a very SPECIFIC question regarding Basaloid Lung Cancer so please do not give me more info on Mesothelioma,etc…I know how to use Google and can get that myself. Thank you.
In looking at a major scientific database (Scirus),there were no references which indicated a causation. So this would seem to indicate it is at least not prevalent. To know 100% for sure,you are going to need to contact leading asbestos cancer researchers in larger medical centers. On YA,that is the best answer we can give when trying to prove a negative. It may also be a difference in terms used. Try the National Cancer Institute and Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (referenced)
