Environmental Asbestos Exposure as a Possible Pathway to Early-Onset Pleural Mesothelioma: A Case From Afghanistan and Pakistan to London. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe report a case of a 40‐year‐old male with malignant pleural mesothelioma with no prior occupational exposure to asbestos. Environmental exposure as a cause of MPM may come into focus through migration from high environmental asbestos exposure regions in patients with no known occupational exposure.

Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment
BMJ Global Health, 2022 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.

MicroRNA gene expression signatures in long-surviving malignant pleural mesothelioma patients
Genomics Data, 2016 Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a tumor originating in the mesothelium, the membrane lining the thoracic cavities, and is induced by exposure to asbestos. Australia suffers one of the world's highest rates of MPM and the incidence is yet to peak.
