Mashup Score: 0Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment - 1 year(s) ago
Introduction Mesothelioma is a key asbestos-related disease (ARD) but can be difficult to diagnose. Countries presumably ban asbestos to reduce future ARD burdens, but it is unknown if countries ban asbestos as a consequence of ARD burdens. We assessed if and to what extent mesothelioma burden has an impact on a country banning asbestos and obtaining targets for preventative strategies. Methods…

Mashup Score: 7Pulmonary Asbestos Fiber Burden Is Related to Patient Survival in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma - 2 year(s) ago
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is associated with poor prognosis and is strongly associated with occupational asbestos exposure. Given the importance of asbestos exposure in MPM pathogenesis, we retrospectively analyzed the types and concentrations of asbestos fibers within the lung tissues of patients with MPM and investigated their effects on all-cause mortality.

Mashup Score: 3Asbestos Lung Burden Does Not Predict Survival in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Necropsy-Based Study of 185 Cases - 2 year(s) ago
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an asbestos-related disease with poor survival. The prognostic role of histologic subtype is well established. Some studies (without a biological hypothesis) suggested that higher asbestos lung burden is associated with reduced survival.

Based on #asbestos fiber & asbestos bodies lung burden performed in 185 necropsies, no relationship between asbestos lung burden and overall survival was found. Histological subtype was the strongest prognostic determinant. https://t.co/1ywp65O0M4 #mesothelioma https://t.co/MtCH9D22Ar
