Question by playgirlsophiex: Why is mesothelioma a rare cancer if so many people were exposed to asbesto?

Best answer:

Answer by Frank
Most people have low exposure to asbestos. Most cases of mesothelioma are seen in people who work with asbestos (often in the factories that manufactured products made of asbestos) who had high exposures.

Even among people with high exposure, the risk of developing mesothelioma is not high. But it is much higher than the risk of getitng mesothelioma without asbestos exposure.

If 0.1% of an unexposed population get a disease and 2% of an exposed population get a disease, the exposure is extremely high risk. It increases your risk of the disease by 20 times. But the incidence of the disease is still rare.
