How is asbestosis usually treated?

Roy Artal (Pulmonologist and Critical Care Physician) gives expert video advice on: How is asbestosis diagnosed?; What are the complications of asbestosis?; How can I prevent or minimize asbestos exposure? and more...

Unfortunately there is no specific treatment for asbestosis. Asbestosis is caused by scaring of fibrosis of the lung, just like you get a scar on your arm after a cut. The scar on the arm doesn't go away and unfortunately neither does the scar on the lung.
