Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Asbestosis as a precursor of asbestos related lung cancer : results of a prospective mortality study

Notes: Sumario: Epidemiological studies of asbestos workers have shown a dose relation with both asbestosis and risk of lung cancer, but few have considered the possible role of asbestosis itself in risk of lung cancer. This issue is considered in a prospective mortality study which includes information on four possible determinants of lung cancer risk - namely, age, cigarette smoking, exposure to asbestos, and radiographic evidence of asbestosis. As in any study of asbestos workers, mesothelioma risk is assessedRelated records: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 4, April 1991 ; p. 229-233Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Epidemiología Enfermedades pulmonares Cáncer Mesotelioma Asbestosis Amianto Mortalidad Otros autores: Weill, Hans
