The accumulating evidence implicate that all forms of asbestos exposure appear to minimally increase the risk of stomach cancer as well as possibly other GI cancers involving the larynx, esophagus, intestines and colorectal regions
- Gastrointestinal Cancer, a Result Of Longtime Asbestos Exposure
Because asbestos exposure also occurs through ingestion, the asbestos fibers may accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract This toxic saturation can lead to the development of malignant tumors within 20 to 50 years of the first exposure to this hazardous material
- Stomach Cancer | Other Asbestos Diseases - Mesothelioma Hub
It wasn’t until the 1970s that researchers began noticing the toxic properties of asbestos, as prolonged exposure began causing people to develop cancer While mesothelioma is the most common cancer developed from asbestos, stomach cancer also has been linked to prolonged exposure
- Asbestos and Stomach Cancer: The Direct Link Explained
While the respiratory system is the primary site of asbestos-related harm, the toxic mineral fibers can find their way to the stomach, initiating a process that may lead to cancer
- Carcinoid Tumor Stomach, Gastric Carcinoids | Moffitt

- Gastric Carcinoid: The Invisible Tumor! - PMC
Such tumors arising from the gastric mucosa are defined as gastric NET or gastric carcinoid (GC) These neoplasms are rare comprising 1% of all NETs and 1 8% of gastric cancers [2]
- Asbestos Gastrointestinal Cancer | Signs, Treatment, and Help
