The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute offers some new findings in its asbestos-related disease research.

Michael Harbut, co-director of the National Center for Vermiculite and Asbestos-Related Cancers at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, and chief of the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine Wayne State University, announced the use of a new technology to aid in the diagnosis of asbestos-related lung disease. The announcement was made at the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization's annual conference, Saturday, March 28, in Manhattan Beach, Calif.
