Older adults are learning more about the cancers and other health risks that might affect them. Age is the most significant risk factor for developing cancer:

• People 65 and older comprise 60% of all cancer patients. To raise awareness, we'd like to share this published Seniors Guide to Cancer that covers topics like wellness tips, the importance of seeing a doctor, and preventive measures: www.asbestos.com/cancer/senior-cancer-guide/
• Since seniors make up around 80% of those diagnosed with mesothelioma and it takes anywhere from 20-50 years after exposure to occur, this is a great guide about about mesothelioma: www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/
