Senator hoping to bring lung cancer study to his state
February 14th, 2010
Omaha Senator Bob Krist’s father died of lung cancer in 2004. The cancer was linked to exposure to asbestos, a carcinogen which can cause both lung cancer and mesothelioma, a cancer that may affect the lungs as well as other major organs and tissues. Now, Krist is hoping to translate his loss into a study that could benefit hundreds of Nebraskans at risk for developing lung cancer.
