Peritoneal Tumours in Asbestosis.
Eleven cases of diffuse abdominal tumours in association with exposure to asbestos were discovered in the years 1958 to 1963. There were eight men and three women, all of whom had worked at the same factory. In seven of the men the age at death ranged from 38 to 78 years; one man is still alive at the age of 46. The women died at 44, 61, and 67. The survival time after the first exposure varied...
متن کاملAsbestosis, laryngeal carcinoma, and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in an insulation worker.

متن کاملAsbestosis in experimental animals.
Previous animal experiments with asbestos dusts have been almost entirely confined to chrysotile asbestos. It was, therefore, decided to investigate the effects of mill dusts from the three types of asbestos that are produced commercially in South Africa, namely chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. Chrysotile and amosite samples were relatively pure while in contrast the crocidolite dust was f...
متن کاملSerum oncoproteins in asbestosis patients.
Using ELISAs, we determined the concentrations of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), the extracellular domain of the erbB-2 receptor (erbB-2 ECD), and mutant p53 protein in stored serum samples of asbestosis patients with and without cancer and control subjects (without asbestosis or cancer). The percentage of individuals in these three groups with increased serum concentrations of T...
