Objectives: One objective of this research was to assess the use of computed tomography
(CT) in screening for lung diseases among asbestos-exposed workers. The prerequisites for …

Asbestos exposure is the most important cause of occupational lung cancer mortality. Two
large randomized clinical trials in the US and Europe conclusively demonstrate that annual …

The objective of the present study is to determine the feasibility of chest computed
tomography (CT) in screening for lung cancer among asbestos-exposed workers. In total …

Objective Lung cancer is the most frequent malignant asbestos-related pathology and
remains the most fatal cancer of industrialized countries. In heavy smokers, early detection …

Background Low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been found to detect more Stage IA
lung cancer than chest x-ray. Aims To investigate whether lung cancer screening with CT …

Objectives Smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer, but environmental and
occupational exposure to carcinogens also increase lung cancer risk. We assessed whether …

Background Low dose CT scan screening (LDCT) has been proven effective in detecting
early stage lung cancer in asbestos exposed workers, but there is no evidence based …

We conducted a computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer in a high-risk
population. Six hundred and two workers (38–81 years, 97% smokers) with asbestos-related …

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine whether certain criteria could be used
to select among asbestos-exposed subjects those who could benefit from computed …
