Lung scarring, or pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease with poor prognosis. We are particularly interested in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, which is a scarring disease of unknown origin. [urmc.rochester.edu]

If this occurs, the prognosis is less favorable. [ufhealth.org]

Prognosis While mesothelioma patients are generally given a prognosis of 4 to 12 months across the board, asbestosis has a much better outcome. Asbestosis affects every patient differently, and patients often live decades with the disease. [mesotheliomaguide.com]

Since the 1930s, scars have been postulated to play an etiologic role in lung cancer,12 based on the observation that lung cancers frequently arise in proximity to scar tissue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
