Hi Trishaswell, I'm very sorry to hear about your father. I've done a search of the PubMed MEDLINE literature database for gastrointestinal cancers and asbestos. I found more than 100 that have to do with this general classification of cancer and asbestos. Some of them talk about mesothelioma, but most do not. I am not sure from your question whether this list of articles satisfies your need. I think that if you're looking for a legal basis, these articles will make your lawyer very happy. On the other hand, if you want to understand what's going on - and thus don't want the clinical trials - please let me know so that I can look for that kind of information. In the meantime, here's a link to the search I did on PubMed (a free database from the National Library of Medicine): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=search&db=pubmed&term="Gastrointestinal+Neoplasms"[MH]+AND+"Asbestos"[MeSH] Please let me know if this answers your question or if you need more information. librariankt

Hi Asbestos, bad as it is, usually has to be inhaled to cause problems, and the cancer associated with it is a lung cancer, mesothelioma. Wearing an asbestos suit should cause no problems, as long as it isn't ground up and inhaled. Being a firefighter exposes one to all sorts of nasty chemicals, however, that likely will lead to cancer in any organ system that you could imagine. Sorry to hear about your father. synarchy

It sounds to me like your father wore an "asbestos lined suit". This is not a suit to protect you from the asbestos fibers, but a suit that is actually made from asbestos. If a person is wearing an asbestos lined suit, the chances of that person inhaling some of the deadly fibers are very good. The gestation cycles for many asbestos related diseases is 20-30 years. It is very possible that the asbestos caused your fathers cancer. The most common forms of asbestos related cancers are asbestosis and mesothelioma.
