April is esophageal cancer awareness month, a time to bring attention to a disease that often goes undetected until it’s advanced, and to the risks that can increase its likelihood.
While many people associate asbestos exposure with mesothelioma, few realize that asbestos exposure has also been linked to esophageal cancer. Workers in certain trades who were exposed to asbestos and have now been diagnosed with esophageal cancer may be entitled to compensation.
This month, we recognize those impacted by esophageal cancer, honor their stories, and continue advocating for awareness around all the hidden dangers of asbestos exposure.
