Study Assesses Link Between Asbestos and Colorectal Cancer
While some studies have established a clear link between asbestos exposure and colorectal cancer, others have found no relationship between the two whatsoever. To address this issue, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies assessed more than 120 studies in an effort to determine once and for all, if asbestos causes cancer of the throat and digestive system.
