Mortality from asbestosis and mesothelioma in Britain by birth cohort.
BACKGROUND Analysis of occupational mortality in England and Wales during 1991-2000 showed no decline in work-attributable deaths from asbestosis. AIMS To explore why there was no decline in mortality from asbestosis despite stricter controls on asbestos exposure over recent decades. METHODS Using data from registers of all deaths in Great Britain with mention of mesothelioma or asbestosis ...
متن کاملSimian virus 40 and mesothelioma in Great Britain.
BACKGROUND Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a DNA virus that has been shown capable of infecting and transforming cells in various species. Laboratory studies have suggested that inoculation with SV40 is associated with various types of cancer, including mesothelioma. AIMS To test the hypothesis, via an ecological analysis, that exposure to SV40 via contaminated polio vaccines is a risk factor for m...
متن کاملBeyond Two-Stage Models for Lung Carcinogenesis in the Mayak Workers: Implications for Plutonium Risk
Mechanistic multi-stage models are used to analyze lung-cancer mortality after Plutonium exposure in the Mayak-workers cohort, with follow-up until 2008. Besides the established two-stage model with clonal expansion, models with three mutation stages as well as a model with two distinct pathways to cancer are studied. The results suggest that three-stage models offer an improved description of ...
متن کاملEstimating the number of asbestos-related lung cancer deaths in Great Britain from 1980 to 2000.
INTRODUCTION Inhalation of asbestos fibres is known to cause two main kinds of cancer-mesothelioma and lung cancer. While the vast majority of mesothelioma cases are generally accepted as being caused by asbestos, the proportion of asbestos-related lung cancers is less clear and cannot be determined directly because cases are not clinically distinguishable from those due to other causes. The ai...
متن کاملLung Cancer Mortality (1950–1999) among Eldorado Uranium Workers: A Comparison of Models of Carcinogenesis and Empirical Excess Risk Models
Lung cancer mortality after exposure to radon decay products (RDP) among 16,236 male Eldorado uranium workers was analyzed. Male workers from the Beaverlodge and Port Radium uranium mines and the Port Hope radium and uranium refinery and processing facility who were first employed between 1932 and 1980 were followed up from 1950 to 1999. A total of 618 lung cancer deaths were observed. The anal...
