Bailey Glasser's Asbestos and Lung Disease Group represents men and women who have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos exposure is the largest cause of occupational cancers in the country, and a significant cause of other diseases and disabilities. Cancer caused by exposure to asbestos typically takes from 20-60+ years to develop. The long delay between exposure and the development of the cancer - known as the latency period - means most victims are unaware their cancer may have been caused by asbestos exposure decades ago.
