59 yr old, retired construction worker comes to the physician for periodic health checkup. No present complaints. He is healthy, exercises regularly, and has no history of smoking. He has a history of asbestos exposure during his job for >20yrs. Physical examination is unremarkable. Which of the following malignancies is most likely to occur in this patient?
a) bladder carcinoma
b) bronchogenic carcinoma
c) lymphoma
d) malignant mesothelioma
e) scrotal carcinoma

I know the right answer, do you? :naughty:

Bronchogenic Carcinoma? I know it's a knee jerk response to think mesothelioma with asbestos exposure, but it's rare compared to B.
