It is an extremely ra re c a n c e r fa the general papulation sand is almost to variably easodated with asbestos exposure, It is a rapidly progressive disease; leading to death within a year or two of appearance. The f irs t symptom iaay bet shwrtaass of breath or pain la the wall of the chest ag gravated by deep breathing or abdom inal p als varying from vagus discotaiw t to severe spasm*. Pleural Raquaa The pleura are the membranes lining the chest cavity. Asbestos fibers reaching th is cav ity taay produce scarring of these membranes. This is visible to the chest x-ray as a pleural thickening. If calcium salts become deposited in these a re a s, then pleural plaques are produced. Pleural thickening is a common com plication o f pfamooary sbeto$i$ these x-ray agtrs are often tt d m taarkers of asbestos exposure.
