متن کاملA meta-analysis of the relation between cumulative exposure to asbestos and relative risk of lung cancer.
OBJECTIVES To obtain summary measures of the relation between cumulative exposure to asbestos and relative risk of lung cancer from published studies of exposed cohorts, and to explore the sources of heterogeneity in the dose-response coefficient with data available in these publications. METHODS 15 cohorts in which the dose-response relation between cumulative exposure to asbestos and relati...
متن کاملOccupational Exposure to Asbestos and Ovarian Cancer: A Meta-analysis
