A four-page medical article from Queens General Hospital in New York, reprinted from the American Medical Association's Archives of Internal Medicine, by Drs. Stoll, Richard Bass and Alfred A. Angrist. It reviews the published cases of lung cancer with asbestosis since Lynch and Smith in 1935, including Gloyne's, the British Chief Inspector of Factories' figure of 13.2% and Wyers' 14.3%, and reports a new case: a 49-year-old man with asbestosis and bronchogenic carcinoma found at autopsy. The authors conclude that the review shows the importance of the association, which "emphasizes the hazards of industrial exposure" and "the need of careful preventive measures."

What it shows
Angrist had reported two earlier cases with Holleb in 1942 (Holleb and Angrist). By 1951 the case reports and autopsy series on asbestosis and lung cancer had grown long enough to fill a table, and a medical journal was calling for preventive measures. Angrist later described both papers in a 1978 deposition (Angrist deposition).
