Prior studies have suggested that lung cancers that arise in association with cigarette
smoking favor an upper-lobe location while those associated with asbestos exposure favor a …

Lower lobe origin and histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma have been described as
useful parameters for attributing lung cancer to prior asbestos exposure. To assess whether …

During the three years 1979-81, all patients with bronchial carcinoma of World Health
Organisation types I to IV were given a questionnaire to determine occupation, smoking …

We studied exposure to asbestos, pulmonary fibrosis, fiber count, and fiber size in relation to
the lobar origin of lung cancer in 90 consecutive patients. Among the 32 patients with a …

Introduction: Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), formerly bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, is an
uncommon subtype of lung adenocarcinoma and accounts for approximately 3% to 4% of …

To determine whether we could distinguish asbestos-related lung cancers from unrelated
ones, we typed and quantified by electron-optical methods the asbestos fibers in the lungs of …

The objective of this study was to determine the factors associated with central airway versus
peripheral bronchial location of lung cancer. All patients diagnosed with lung cancer from …

The histologic distribution of lung cancer is markedly different in smokers and non-smokers.
It is not known whether the histology among former smokers varies according to the number …

The association between occupational exposure to asbestos and histological type of lung
cancer was analyzed in a multicenter hospital‐based case‐control study (2,871 male cases …

A case‐control study was carried out on 145 male lung‐cancer patients diagnosed at
autopsy and 178 controls, in order to investigate the relationship between asbestos …
