The asbestos-asbestosis exposure-response relationship: a cohort study of the general working population
…observed increasing risk with increasing cumulative exposure in the inception population. This study found exposure-response relations between cumulative asbestos exposure and incident asbestosis in the Danish general working population with mainly low-level exposed occupations…

Impact of occupational carcinogens on lung cancer risk in a general population
…highly exposed industrial cohorts. Our aim was to quantify lung cancer burden attributable to occupational carcinogens in a general population. We applied a new job-exposure matrix (JEM) to translate lifetime work histories, collected by personal…

Peritoneal mesothelioma and asbestos exposure: a population-based case-control study in Lombardy, Italy
…to its rarity, PeM has rarely been investigated in community-based studies. We examined the association between asbestos exposure and PeM risk in a general population in Lombardy, Italy. From the regional mesothelioma registry, we selected…

Risk factors for malignant mesothelioma in people with no known exposure to asbestos
…histories. Over 9 years, 38 cases and 134 hospital controls with conditions unrelated to asbestos (65 with other cancers, 69 with general medical conditions) were interviewed about their histories. An industrial hygienist, unaware of diagnoses, coded…

Gender differences in pleural mesothelioma occurrence in Lombardy and Piedmont, Italy
…exposure in men translated into a 7 to 10 year advancement in mesothelioma occurrence. They noted that exposure information was not available for the general population, so rates by actual asbestos exposure could not be calculated.

Comparison of exposure assessment methods for occupational carcinogens in a multi-centre lung cancer case-control study
…re-applied to all study subjects. Third, an independent general population JEM (GPJEM) was created by occupational exposure experts not involved in the original study, and applied to study subjects. Results from these methods were compared…

Parental occupational exposure and risk of childhood central nervous system tumors: a pooled analysis of case-control studies from Germany, France, and the UK
…face-to-face or by telephone. A general population job-exposure matrix was used to assign a level of exposure to each job. Logistic regression models were fitted to compute odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals…

COVID-19 in patients with thoracic malignancies (TERAVOLT): first results of an international, registry-based, cohort study
Early reports on patients with cancer and COVID-19 have suggested a high mortality rate compared with the general population. Patients with thoracic malignancies are thought to be particularly susceptible to COVID-19 given their older…

Exposure-Response Analyses of Asbestos and Lung Cancer Subtypes in a Pooled Analysis of Case-Control Studies
…asbestos exposure and assessed the joint effect of asbestos exposure and smoking by sex and lung cancer subtype in general population studies. We pooled 14 case-control studies conducted in 1985-2010 in Europe and Canada…

Hierarchical regression for multiple comparisons in a case-control study of occupational risks for lung cancer
…suffer from false positive findings. Semi-Bayes adjustment methods have sometimes been used to address this issue. Hierarchical regression is a more general approach, including Semi-Bayes adjustment as a special case, that aims at improving…

A comparison of exposure assessment approaches: lung cancer and occupational asbestos exposure in a population-based case-control study
…assessment of occupational exposure to asbestos was compared using self-reports and a general population job-exposure matrix (DOM-JEM). Cases and frequency matched controls provided life-time job histories and self-reported exposures to potential…

Lung Cancer Risks Associated with Occupational Exposure to Pairs of Five Lung Carcinogens: Results from a Pooled Analysis of Case-Control Studies (SYNERGY)
…the selected lung carcinogens resulted generally in higher risk than exposure to individual agents, highlighting the importance to reduce and control exposure to carcinogens in workplaces and the general environment. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP13380.
