Lung cancer in never-smokers: radon exposure and environmental tobacco smoke.
Lung cancer occurs in subjects with no history of active smoking in 15–25% of all cases, mainly females. Lung cancer in never-smokers is a recent field of investigation, with differences in clinical, pathological and molecular aspects compared with lung cancer in smokers [1, 2]. Chronic exposure to radon and its decay products is recognised as the second leading cause of lung cancer, after acti...
متن کاملEffect of air pollution and environmental tobacco smoke on serum hyaluronate concentrations in school children.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate serum hyaluronate concentrations relative to air pollution, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and respiratory health in Japanese school children. METHODS Respiratory symptoms and serum IgE concentrations were examined in 1037 school children living in four communities in Japan with differing levels of air pollution. Serum hyaluronate concentrations were assayed in 230 ...
متن کاملLung cancer and environmental tobacco smoke: occupational risk to nonsmokers.
The principal epidemiologic evidence that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) increases the risk of lung cancer in (lifelong) nonsmokers is from studies of nonsmoking women married to smokers. This article estimates exposure-response curves for 14 studies (1, 249+ cases, 7 countries) with data on lung cancer categorized by the number of cigarettes/day smoked by the husband. The pooled results fro...
متن کاملLung cancer risk and workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
OBJECTIVES We sought to quantitatively evaluate the association between work-place environmental tobacco smoke exposure and lung cancer. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis in 2003 of data from 22 studies from multiple locations worldwide of workplace environmental tobacco smoke exposure and lung cancer risk. Estimates of relative risk from these studies were analyzed by fitting the data to ...
متن کاملEstimating lung cancer risk with exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
Estimates of lung cancer in nonsmokers due to exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace or in the home may be developed in several ways. Estimates may be based on (italic)a(/italic)) models developed using the full range of data in smokers; (italic)b(/italic)) models developed using data restricted to smokers with a low smoking rate, for example, (3/4) 10 cigarettes per day...
