Often, asbestosis is the first step towards the development of mesothelioma. Some people are fortunate in that their asbestosis never develops into cancer. Others are not so lucky. No one knows why some individuals develop this cancer and others don’t. However, smokers who continue smoking after they’ve been diagnosed with asbestosis have a much higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
