Whole-exome sequencing reveals frequent genetic alterations in BAP1, NF2, CDKN2A, and CUL1 in malignant pleural mesothelioma
This laboratory study read the protein-coding DNA (the 'exome') of tumors from 22 people diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma at the New York University General Thoracic Surgery Service. Each tumor was compared with the same…

Contribution of environmental fibers to respiratory cancer
…large. Using a KL of 0.01, the authors estimated fewer than 100 lung cancers and 100 mesotheliomas per year in the general population from past ambient exposures. They noted great uncertainty in these estimates. They…
