An Institute of Medicine (IOM) panel recently concluded that studies show a causal relationship between asbestos exposure and cancer of the larynx, the part of the throat containing the vocal cords. Based on results from 34 studies, the committee determined that people exposed to asbestos had on average a 40 percent greater chance of laryngeal cancer than those with no exposure. People with high exposure, including miners and some construction and textile workers, had up to double or triple the risk.
