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…

Impact of low-dose computed tomography screening on lung cancer mortality among asbestos-exposed workers
…deaths from all cancers or from malignant neoplasm of the pleura. Deaths from pleural cancer were higher than in the general population in both groups. The authors concluded that taking part in screening was associated with…

Commentary: Asbestos exposure and mesothelioma risk
…used the statistical relationship between the average lung burden of asbestos particles and mesothelioma death rates in the general population to predict rates in younger people who began work after asbestos was no longer in use…

Multistage modelling of lung cancer mortality in asbestos textile workers
…suggest whether a carcinogen appears to act at an early, intermediate or late stage, and the general statistical methods applied here will retain their usefulness as further models are developed and larger data sets become available.
