In the early 1990s, however, it came to the attention of medical professionals that more women were being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare but deadly cancer caused by exposure to the mineral asbestos . (baronandbudd.com)
However, due to the extremely long latency period of asbestos diseases like mesothelioma, it might be 20 to 50 years before any hint of asbestos cancer developed in a woman's body, and due to the rarity of mesothelioma, especially in women, an accurate diagnosis wasn't always made.

The study, published in the March 2020 edition of the American Journal of Surgical Pathology, researched the frequency with which females receive a mesothelioma diagnosis and what kinds of mesothelioma they develop. (baronandbudd.com)
In a bit of slightly better news, the Duke study found that females were more likely to be diagnosed with the epithelioid subtype of mesothelioma, which is a little easier to treat than sarcomatoid and biphasic mesothelioma, the subtypes most commonly found in males with the disease.
