Chinese Textile Mesothelioma, Epidemiology Of Peritoneal Mesothelioma A Review Annals Of Oncology

We conducted a case control study in a county located at southeastern china including 46 cases and 230 individu.

Thanos coloring sheet. There is no explanation as to why peritoneal mesothelioma was more common than pleural mesothelioma in the chinese textile workers. Tremolite also contaminates talc the most common non asbestos mineral fiber in our control cases. Am j ind med.

Gao z hiroshima k wu x zhang j shao d shao h et al. In summary we estimated causespecific smrs in the chinese male and female asbestos textile workers who were exposed to only chrysotile and confirmed significantly excess mortality from mesothelioma in either gender lung cancers and larynx in the males and ovary cancer in females although the case number in some cancers was limited. We examined 312 cases of mesothelioma for which fiber burden analyses of lung.

It is estimated that over 100000 chinese workers are working in asbestos mines and asbestos product factories. The new study is published in the american journal of industrial medicine. While chrysotile has been commonly used by chinese textile industry for many years investigations on the association of chrysotile exposure with risk of mesothelioma in china are scarce.

Asbestos textile production linked to malignant peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma in women. Xrwangatcuhkeduhk to determine mortality associated with exposure to chrysotile asbestos a cohort of asbestos workers from an asbestos textile factory in china was followed prospectively from 1972 to 2008. Out of 52 confirmed diagnoses peritoneal mesothelioma which develops in the protective lining of the abdomen outnumbered pleural mesothelioma by a 3 1 ratio with 38 cases.

The study examined tumors diagnosed as malignant mesothelioma from 2002 through 2015 at two chinese hospitals one in hangzhou china where there is no asbestos industry and one in yuyao china located in the chinese textile asbestos industrial area where most patients are exposed to asbestos. Yuyao peoples hospital is in an area that manufactures textile asbestos. On the other hand nationwide data of incidence or mortality of asbestos related lung cancer and mesothelioma among asbestos workers are lacking in spite of the fact that asbestos induced lung cancer and mesothelioma were classified.

Women accounted for roughly 80 percent of all mesothelioma cases in the chinese study. In the us peritoneal mesothelioma accounts for fewer than 500 of the 2500 mesothelioma cases each year. 20 wang and colleagues also reported a significant increase in malignant mesothelioma and ovarian cancer for women in a cohort of chinese asbestos textile factory workers.

Exposure to chrysotile dust has been associated with the development of mesothelioma and recent studies have implicated contaminating tremolite fibers as the likely etiological factor.
