*256 ORDER

PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 10th day of June, 2008, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED as to the following issue, which has been rephrased for clarity:
(1) Does prior recovery of damages for increased risk and fear of developing cancer due to asbestos exposure, awarded under the one-disease rule, preclude a plaintiff from recovering damages for cancer that developed and was diagnosed after the separate disease rule was adopted in Marinari v. Asbestos Corporation, Ltd., 417 Pa.Super. 440, 612 A.2d 1021 (1992) (en banc)?
