yes i m sure there is actually a research going on http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic398.htm
  • Katabami et al determined that a "positive causal relationship between pneumoconiosis and peripheral type squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung" exists. Closely monitor patients who have developed diffuse interstitial fibrosis (DIF) for progression to peripheral SCC because DIF is a potent accelerator of this type of cancer (Katabami, 2000).
