Asbestos Consumption and Malignant Mesothelioma Mortality Trends in the Major User Countries

Annals of Global Health, 2023
Background: The causal association between mesothelioma and asbestos exposure is conclusive, and many studies have proved that the trend in asbestos use is a strong predictor of the pattern in mesothelioma cases with an adequate latency time (generally ...

The expected burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain from 2002 to 2050 [PDF]

, 2005
The British mesothelioma register contains all deaths from 1968 to 2001 where mesothelioma was mentioned on the death certificate. These data were used to predict the future burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain.

Malignant Mesothelioma [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1989
Mesothelioma is a malignant tumour of the pleura or peritoneum caused by asbestos. It is increasing in frequency and the prognosis remains grim, with average survival around 1 year.Medical literature and personal experience.Amphibole fibres are far more potent than chrysotile in causing mesothelioma.A minority view suggests that mesotheliomas in those ...

Double-Stranded RNA Structural Elements Holding the Key to Translational Regulation in Cancer: The Case of Editing in RNA-Binding Motif Protein 8A

Cells, 2021
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer associated with asbestos exposure. RNA-binding motif protein 8a (RBM8A) mRNA editing increases in mouse tissues upon asbestos exposure.

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.

Matrix Metalloproteinases as Biomarkers and Treatment Targets in Mesothelioma: A Systematic Review

Biomolecules, 2021
Metalloproteinases (MMPs) have an important role in tissue remodeling and have been shown to have an effect on tumor progression, invasion, metastasis formation, and apoptosis in several tumors, including mesothelioma.

Certified causes of death in patients with mesothelioma in South East England

BMC Cancer, 2009
Background Mesothelioma is a highly fatal cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos fibres. In many populations, the occurrence of mesothelioma is monitored with the use of mortality data from death certification. We examine certified causes of death
