Abstract
- Epidemiological studies indicate that 80–90% of mesotheliomas are asbestos related. This suggests that 10–20% are not. Lung fiber burden analysis provides objective information about past exposures to asbestos. We have performed lung fiber burden analysis on a large cohort of mesothelioma cases and compared the findings with a reference population. Herein we report our findings along with demographic and exposure data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
