History of asbestos exposure is an important indicator for doctors to look for asbestos-related illnesses traits. Doctors examine patients for asbestos-related conditions, including lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchial cancer, asbestosis, by looking for abnormal growths using chest X-rays or computerized tomography to scan the patient’s body.
