Exposure to carcinogens usually changes patients’ lives for the worse. Often, such exposures can lead to increased screenings and medical monitoring, including diagnostic testing such as x-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans that can increase the risk of cancer. Even if all test results come back negative, it is still stressful. It can disrupt patients’ daily routines and affect their ability to work. If patients are diagnosed with cancer, they may have to undergo cancer treatments and follow-up. They may no longer be able to work or care for their families or themselves. Cancer and its exhausting treatments can be devastating physically, emotionally, and financially.
