Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 532-537, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Because of this tumor rarity and overlapping histologic features with other malignancy types, the histopathological findings and diagnostic immunohistochemical workup are essential in establishing the final diagnosis of MPMs.

Critical reappraisal of Balangero chrysotile and mesothelioma risk
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2014 BackgroundBalangero, 40 km northwest of Torino in the Piedmonte Region, was home to the largest and most active chrysotile mine in Europe operating from 1916 - 1990 and employed over 300 men at any one time. The chrysotile was thought to be pure. Despite

Comparative Studies on the Cytotoxicity of Amphibole and Serpentine Asbestos
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1980 The chemical and physical properties of serpentine and amphibole asbestos are considered in the context of their interaction with tissue of the tracheobronchial tree and lungs. In vitro studies in cultures of several types are evaluated and work with the erythrocyte hemolysis system is reviewed.
