Battling to ban asbestos<br />
The most well-known case of dead from<br />
asbestos is that of Ana Cecilia Niño, a<br />
woman who sued the nation for not<br />
allowing the material she was exposed to<br />
for 17 years, and which caused cancer.<br />
Ana Cecilia extracted the left lung, pleura,<br />
pericardium, and all adjacent muscles and<br />
nodes, but the presence of malignant<br />
mesothelioma was fully confirmed.<br />
Dozens of radiotherapies and<br />
chemotherapies were tried to prevent<br />
tumor progression.
