Radiological findings as predictors of mortality in Quebec asbestos workers.
Two cohorts of chrysotile miners and millers in Quebec were selected to study the extent to which chest radiographs taken while still employed predict mortality. The paper presents mainly findings in much the larger cohort, which consisted of 4559 men (two-thirds past workers) whose latest radiograph had been assessed by one of six experienced readers into what became the UICC/Cincinnati (U/C) ...
متن کاملRadiological changes in asbestos cement workers.
OBJECTIVE To explore associations between exposure to asbestos cement dust and radiographic findings in lung parenchyma and pleura. METHODS Radiographs from 174 blue collar workers and 29 white collar workers from an asbestos cement plant formed one part of the study. Progression of small opacities was further studied in those 124 blue collar workers, for whom two radiographs taken after the ...
متن کاملAsbestos, asbestosis, and lung cancer: observations in Quebec chrysotile workers.
One prospective epidemiologic study of asbestos cement workers with radiological small opacities has been cited as a rationale for attributing excess lung cancer to asbestosis. This approach could have considerable practical value for disease attribution in an era of decreasing exposure. However, a recent International Agency for Research on Cancer review concludes that the mechanism of product...
متن کاملMortality from lung cancer in asbestos workers.
on personal examination, found lung cancer in 14*1% of necropsies on subjects with asbestosis (17 out of 121) against 6.9% in silicotics (55 out of 796). Neither author gave full details of the sex composition of the groups examined, but since women form a higher proportion of asbestos workers than of persons employed in occupations liable to give rise to silicosis (coal-miners, stonemasons, po...
متن کاملCharacteristics of lung cancer patients with asbestos-related radiological findings.
The purpose of the current study was to compare the characteristics of lung cancer patients who had exposure to asbestos and asbestos-related radiological findings (ARRF) to the characteristics of patients who had no exposure. Of the 766 lung cancer patients evaluated, 607 had no exposure to asbestos and no ARRF, 88 had ARRF and a history of exposure, remaining 71 patients had no exposure to as...
