Estimating the asbestos-related lung cancer burden from mesothelioma mortality. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Quantifying the asbestos-related lung cancer burden is difficult in the presence of this disease's multiple causes. We explore two methods to estimate this burden using mesothelioma deaths as a proxy for asbestos exposure.
